MOUZ Makes Shock Decision to Bench Siuhy Ahead of IEM Katowice
MOUZ has made a sudden roster change just days before IEM Katowice 2024, benching Kamil "siuhy" Szkaradek from their active roster. This decision comes as a surprise, given siuhy's relatively recent addition to the team in August 2023 and MOUZ's strong performance with him on the lineup.
The 20-year-old Polish player contributed to several notable achievements during his tenure, including victories at ESL Pro League Season 18 and ESL Challenger Rotterdam 2023. The team also secured a top-four finish at the BLAST Premier World Final 2023.
MOUZ has temporarily brought in Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás to replace siuhy for the upcoming IEM Katowice tournament. Torzsi, who previously played for MOUZ's main roster until October 2023, will serve as a stand-in while the organization evaluates its long-term options.
This roster change marks another significant shift for MOUZ, coming shortly after their decision to bench torzsi and bring in Alvaro "SunPayus" Garcia in late 2023. The timing of siuhy's benching, particularly before a major tournament in his home country of Poland, has raised questions within the CS2 community.
MOUZ's current roster for IEM Katowice 2024:
- Christopher "dexter" Nong
- Dorian "xertioN" Berman
- Jimi "Jimpphat" Salo
- Alvaro "SunPayus" Garcia
- Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás (stand-in)
- Dennis "sycrone" Nielsen (coach)
The team will debut this new lineup at IEM Katowice 2024, which begins on January 31st. Their performance will be closely watched as they adapt to this unexpected roster change.
