Although The International 2024 is still far away and there are no details on it, the German esports organisation MOUZ has officially returned to Dota 2.
After exiting the Dota 2 scene in 2017, MOUZ makes its return in the first quarter of 2024 and signs the Team Tickles roster led by coach Daniel "ImmortalFaith" Moza.
“While we have high ambitions from the start, we approach this endeavor as a long-term project,” stated MOUZ CBDO, Jan Dominicus. “The open tournament circuit, rich history, and great excitement present an ideal arena for MOUZ to leverage our collective strengths as a team.”
At the core of the new MOUZ line-up are Stefan "Ulnit" Gavrila, Nikko "Force" Bilocura, and Ravdan "NARMAN" Narmandakh. The latter two make a hard commitment to the new organisation by already relocating from the Philippines and Mongolia respectively, to MOUZ’s hometown, Hamburg. For now, the team roster features two trial players, Ondřej "Supream^" Štarha and Jonathan "Bengan" Hansson.
“Our main goal is to improve collectively and strive for excellence,” said coach ImmortalFaith. “We are hungry and ready to put in all the hard work that is needed in order to do that. We will learn from losses and from wins. We are committed to follow a path that will challenge the best.”
The line-up signed now by MOUZ was put together mid November 2023 and has already competed in a few regional qualifiers under the Team Tickles tag. Moving forward, the team will continue to compete in the Western Europe region and is looking at what is expected to be one of the busiest seasons in Dota 2.
