Astralis legend joins MOUZ in coaching role on eve of the Major

A former Astralis and CS:GO superstar, Andreas “xyp9x” Højsleth, will be joining MOUZ as an assistant coach in the upcoming major. The player hasn’t been active on a senior team since the summer of 2023, making this a sharp turning point for the four-time major winner.

The move was announced by MOUZ on X (formerly Twitter) on March 16, a day before the opening stage of the PGL Copenhagen Major commencing on March 17. “Bringing an unmatched wealth of experience, tactical acumen, and a history of success at the highest levels of competitive play, Xyp9x is poised to infuse our talented roster with the wisdom and strategies needed to dominate the global Counter-Strike scene,” the team wrote in the announcement.
