karrigan joins mouz for ESWC

13-10-2014 15:32

mousesports have announced that they will attend the ESWC finals with Finn "Karrigan" Andersen as their fifth player.

The Danish player had been widely expected to join mouz after leaving CPH Wolves in the build-up to the ESWC qualifier and acting as a stand-in for Chris "⁠chrisJ⁠" de Jong's side in recent online matches.

This is the third stint in mousesports for Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen, who represented the German organisation in 2010 in 1.6 and in late 2012/early 2013, this time in CS:GO.

He will be stepping into the shoes of Oliver "⁠kzy⁠" Heck, who stepped down from the team last month after disagreeing with the playing style that was in place.

karrigan to wear mouz's shirt again

mouz used Andreas "⁠znajder⁠" Lindberg and Mikail "⁠Maikelele⁠" Bill as a stand-ins but neither player ended up joining on a permanent basis.

While the former declined the chance to do so because of personal problems, the latter was allegedly not perceived as a viable option as he would become the third AWPer of the team, who decided to go for a rifler instead.

This means that mouz will attend the ESWC finals with:

Chris "⁠chrisJ⁠" de Jong
Johannes "⁠tabseN⁠" Wodarz
Nikola "⁠LEGIJA⁠" Ninić
Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli
Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen

rofl.. Wtf is mouz doing. Good for him tho.

he doesn't have many options (besides 3DMAX) because of language barrier.

2014-10-13 16:07

Well, he joined mouz, so i guess language barrier is not an big problem

2014-10-13 17:29

If you mean 1.6 mouz, I think Karrigan speaks german

2014-10-13 17:51

They are talking about allu here, but yes, Karrigan speaks German

2014-10-13 19:13

Muajajajaja...mouz...change change 1player x day ....gg

none of the recent players have been permanent though so they aren't exactly 'changing players'. just using stand-ins until they find a stable new 5th to replace kzy

2014-10-13 15:40

can u pls read?

2014-10-13 16:54

gl karrigan :)

2014-10-13 15:39

NOOOOO OTDEJONG WTFF ARE U DOINK I may hope Maikelel is joining NIP now otherwise it would be ridiculous

kick chrisj pls

hahaaha... ur name

nice international team, they speak english in matches?

would assume so .. must be awkward as i doubt all of them are fluent in english

2014-10-13 15:41

With chrisj I think they spoke German because he understood it but he had to call positions in English. Karrigan also understands German but with the addition of allu I guess they have changed to English.

lol dat question

2014-10-13 15:42

The only guy who doesn't understand or speak german is Allu sooo

2014-10-13 16:00

no they speak russian

chinese

what do you mean?

2014-10-13 15:46

karrigan sucks

2014-10-13 15:49

karrigan is a huge joke in Finland. allu has probably been the most vocal at disrespecting him even naming HLTV.org Dreamteam Leagues Keilagan which isn't really a compliment for THE RAW DIAMOND FROM DENMARK. :D Maybe RattlesnK will join next? :D

2014-10-13 15:55

why is he a joke? whats the story?

because so far every team he joins ends up failing/disbanding. his in-game level is so much lower than it was in 1.6 he is pretty much the go-to player if literally NO ONE else is available.

2014-10-13 16:08

Maybe allu or lurppis wants to share the stories with everybody.

2014-10-13 16:11

2014-10-13 15:58

this mouz team is a disgrace... can't they just have a normal line-up?

2014-10-13 15:59

HAHA LOL, CAN YOU ALL READ RIGHT? acting as a stand-in for Chris "chrisJ" de Jong's side in recent online matches. CHRISJ WILL BE STAY AT HOME FOR ESWC

Can you explain me how did you come up with that conclusion? I would love to understand how russian brain works.

2014-10-13 16:10

if you really happened to misunderstand this sentence, allow me to explain: acting as a stand-in for Chris "chrisJ" de Jong's side in recent online matches = acting as a stand-in for mousesports

2014-10-13 16:20

People that can't read but think they can are what will start WWIII. :(

Why people are so mad? He's top4 player in 1.6 history, top20 in CSGO Just remember 1 - delpan 2 - f0rest 3 - neo 4 - karrigan

Guess you didn't follow 1.6...

2014-10-13 17:33

lolled so hard

2014-10-13 18:43

At 1.6 last moments he was good

2014-10-13 19:23

I dont understand why everyone is so disappointed lol. They had kzy before him and won against NaVi, NiP, VP etc. Karrigan is not comparable to schneider/eksem but still better than kzy imo.

inc disband

2014-10-13 16:13

Karrigan is here to destroy another team! Woo Let's hope this doesn't end like it always does with karrigan. mousesports > fnatic > PlayingDucks > n!faculty > Reason > CPH Wolves > mousesports again

2014-10-13 16:22

His approximate period in the teams: mousesports: ~3 months fnatic: ~ 2 months PlayingDucks: ~ 1 month n!faculty: ~ 3 months Reason: ~ 3 months CPH Wolves: ~ 3 months mousesports again: ????

Mouz go home, you're drunk oO

2014-10-13 16:29

Even though maikelele is better than karrigan with rifles as well...

2014-10-13 16:31

Think about Football. There are quarterbacks like Tim Tebow who aren't that great, by pro standards. However, Tebow could have still made millions of dollars playing at another position, but he refused to do that for the broncos and instead stopped playing football completely, because he didn't want to play if he couldn't play in the position he felt suited him. Maybe Ukulele won't play if he can't be the awper.

2014-10-13 17:15

4 replies

Tim Tebow couldn't play any position at all. Too slow to be a running back or wideout, to inaccurate to be a passer. Maybe and just maybe he could have transfered to a none-blitzning linebacker, he had the build for it, and then go play in Canada.

2014-10-13 17:39

Well, whether he would have done well isn't *super* important to the analogy. The point is that sometimes the position is more important than being on the team for some people.

2014-10-15 01:29

Oh, you mean "football". You almost got me there.

2014-10-13 20:15

yeah, yeah, yeah.

u mean nex or krystal even troubley all of them>>>cLy on lan.

2014-10-13 16:58

you apparently haven't watched the last eps germany finals

He ended more or less average for his team - topfragged once, bottomfragged once and mostly at third place.

2014-10-13 17:44

he topfragged pretty heavily on 3rd and most important map of the finals, where they made a comeback on t side of mirage to win the whole thing. he's more consistant than most german players and exactly what mouz needs, which is a rifler, not a 3rd awper.

2014-10-13 18:29

why no emilio? Kappa

Online team can wreck some teams and won some tournaments but at LAN majors no chance .

NAJS!

2014-10-13 16:59

This actually looks like a scary team... I hope they go out and challenge!

2014-10-13 17:08

Nooooooooooo :( if only karrigan could reach his 1.6 level

LOL "German" team

2014-10-13 17:21

german organization

2014-10-13 18:10

Dignitas is based in the UK but usually use the Danish flag.

2014-10-14 00:15

hm okay

2014-10-15 20:22

Anyways, you're right, so I get the use of the German flag, I just always found it kind of funny.

2014-10-15 21:08

Mouz was used to be a german team, so why they don't buy(or whatever they do :D) nex or some other german players, who obviously also hit shots on lan.

This team just continues to intrigue me. No two people from the same country.

5 five different flags :D :D :D

2014-10-13 17:24

-legija -chirsj -tabsen +someone from sweden +someone from norway +someone from finland/sweden/norway/denmark Nordic Pride!

2014-10-13 17:42

GLHF!!

2014-10-13 18:00

really karrigan? again? this is CSGO not 1.6, he's not so good and the teams he joins ends up dying. Anyone here know the reason why he keeps hoping on these teams? is he just a legit good person?

2014-10-13 18:30

You all saying that the teams are disbanding only cuz of Karrigan are retarded, how the fuck would it be his fault, these kind of teams that just dont win disband because they feel they cant win something with this kind of lineup and keep trying to force something that could actully make some problem in match vs other pro teams. Karrigan is not so bad + he was one of the top in 1.6 and once someone had this kind of experience he just need motivation and start to train more. If youre all so smart, why are you here on hltv.org saying the teams are making stupid things and they play actually in the tournament, i think they know a lot more than you all do.

2014-10-13 18:44

karrigan was too strong in 1.6 :'(

2014-10-13 19:04

i think allu should do a team with some fin ppl

2014-10-13 19:06

mouz setting up a nice line up ^^

2014-10-13 19:27

5 players, 5 different nationalties :)

2014-10-13 19:35

Can they all speak German?!

2014-10-13 19:40

allu can't I think

2014-10-13 22:05

damn mouz so stronk now, with 3 awpers they can dominate on some maps

2014-10-13 19:58

maikelele got vac banned same day as emilio

2014-10-13 20:01

why dont they get a good stable player who sticks with them for more than 1 event? i wonder..

2014-10-13 20:14

What the fuck is going on with mousesports? This team dude, this team... Facepalm

2014-10-13 20:16

Raise ur Finnigan \o/

2014-10-13 20:43

Even in MM, we play with people from same country :D

2014-10-13 21:08

I thought for eswc 3/5 players had to be from the same country?

2014-10-13 21:14

legija and tabsen live in germany, maybe karrigan or chrisj live there as well?

2014-10-13 21:17

mouz knows that there is no reason to invest into german team now lets hope the next step is creating a super Scandinavian team: KarrigaN/pimp/glaive cajunb maikelele schneider twist

they're not going far tbh, maikelele^

I mean everyone whining about karrigan being shit... He has been improving ALOT past 6 months, his rifle work can be amazing from time to time.

Karrigan played crazy for Mouz today! Top fragger in all matches! Good choise! Keep up with it!

2014-10-15 01:51

This has to be one of the weirdest looking lineups in CS history. Its sad that a big name orga like mouz is unable to find german players who can represent it as the history of this organization deserves.
