MOUZ’s CS:GO era ends with brutal early elimination from BLAST Paris Major

MOUZ, one of the CS:GO teams expected to at least advance to the Legends Stage of the BLAST Paris Major, are surprisingly the first casualty of the Challengers Stage following a quick 2-0 sweep by GamerLegion on May 9.

The international lineup of frozen, Christopher “dexter” Nong, Ádám “torzsi” Torzsás, Jon “JDC” de Castro, and Dorian “xertioN” Berman made it all the way to the semifinals of the IEM Rio Major in November 2022 but fell incredibly flat after that instead of evolving as almost every fan predicted. A last-place finish at the BLAST Paris Major and a 0-4 record in maps played is the final nail in the coffin of a season that was already going bad as MOUZ had only reached the playoffs of one tier-one tournament this year—ESL Pro League season 17 in March.
