mousesports target dexter, acoR

15-1-2021 15:25

The European team has identified two players as potential additions ahead of the 2021 season.

MAD Lions' AWPer Frederik "⁠acoR⁠" Gyldstrand and Renegades' in-game leader Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong are two players MOUZ are aiming to refresh their lineup with, HLTV.org and 1pv.fr have learned.

The duo would come in for Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen, who is not inclined to extend his deal with the German organization, and Chris "⁠chrisJ⁠" de Jong, the team's longest-standing member.

Renegades' IGL could be set for a trip to Europe

If the moves come to fruition, dexter will reunite with Torbjørn "⁠mithR⁠" Nyborg, who coached Renegades for five months in 2020. The Australian team dominated the domestic scene last year, winning all nine tournaments they attended, with the 26-year-old shot caller averaging a 1.24 rating.

The addition of acoR would solve MOUZ' AWPing problem after juggling around the sniper rifle since the departure of Özgür "⁠woxic⁠" Eker in August. The 23-year-old Dane averaged a 1.14 rating in 2020 and won Flashpoint 1 with MAD Lions in April, but the team have struggled to replicate their early-year success and are currently ranked 22nd in the world.

On Monday, MOUZ confirmed that they are exploring their options to replace karrigan as the 30-year-old player has not yet decided on his future ahead of his contract's expiry in March. A report from theclutch.com.br in November linked him to a move back to FaZe.

chrisJ has found himself on the chopping block after a poor individual year, averaging a 0.91 rating across all matches, with that number dropping to 0.81 when MOUZ faced top-5 opposition. If he departs the team, it will mark an end to his long association with the German organisation, which he joined in October 2013.

If MOUZ acquire the two players, they will have the following roster:

Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool
David "⁠frozen⁠" Čerňanský
Aurimas "⁠Bymas⁠" Pipiras
Frederik "⁠acoR⁠" Gyldstrand
Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong

Torbjørn "⁠mithR⁠" Nyborg (coach)

Contacted by HLTV.org, mousesports declined to comment.

yeah , but hltv almost never fails on this "reports". dexter acoR ropz chrisJ frozen/bymas that would be the ideal roster considering the roles.

From that roster that kicked karrigan, only rain remains (and he'll leave in 1 year time - you saw here first). They saw how was it like to not have an IGL. If they thought they could be better without a specialized IGL, they thought wrong.

2021-01-15 18:19

rain didn't want to kick karrigan, from what I read between the lines it was NiKo, Olof and GuardiaN who voted to remove him. rain is the reason why karrigan would come back to FaZe.

2021-01-15 16:12

Karrigan is literally the best igl when it comes to building a team and getting the best out of every player.He is always willing to change a role in his own bad just for the sacrifice of the team.Nobody can doubt that karrigan is among the Kings of Cs who haven't won a major such as niko, s1mple,RpK etc. As for ChrisJ the bad individual rating comes from his lack of need in the team.His playstyle lacked a lot when they added bymas and benched woxic. He isn't washed up at all.His playstyle didn't fit in the team anymore.please don't think so short again. Its easy to trash talk a player but if u look at it overall on what he has achieved and what's the pros and cons of both players they have more pros than cons.. Especially karrigan.

2021-01-15 20:45

2 replies

What sacrifice? He kicked woxic to get AWP and boost stats

2021-01-17 07:15

1 reply

It wasn't karrigan's decision... In every decision on every organization there is never only one to make the call don't think like that.. Afterall we don't know anything that happened behind the scenes.. There must be a reason.. Why woxic got benched in c9 as well!?? Anyway I'm not here to doubt woxic but there wasn't any reason for karrigan to wanna kick any new talent when he is at the glimpse of his career.. Nobody would think that selfish. Plus karrigan is always the entry and rotating player he isnt the start hunter idk what the hell u talking about. Plus karrigan is known for his team leading skills, not awp not nothing and noone at really big level of understanding the game can doubt that karrigan is top3 igls of all time in csgo... And btw this doesn't make sense.. They kicked woxic, and they got their 6th man(bymas) as 5th..mouz were looking for an awper not rifler.. So there must be some attitude issues behind. Chris didn't wanna awp.. He was forced.. As for bymas he was added on mouz roster as 6th in the first place

So keep ChrisJ in the lineup or signing someone else? I'm thinking that Bymas and ChrisJ alternating maps could work. Means Bymas could skip some practice sessions and focus on school more than if he was playing every map.

i mean mouz probably doesnt want to spend a ton of money? they probably juse use chris and sometimes let bymas play this is pure speculation ofc, but it would make sense, maybe bymas changed his mind and wants to be an active player, who knows

Yeah. Ropz’s top 7 interview was quite telling - it is clear that they have all been struggling with motivation during Corina but, fuck, it’s been almost a year since they showed proper results and at some point you need to start working for your fucking paycheck again. ChrisJ really needs to have a long and hard think about his future. He is a grandpa in pro gamer years now and, while that shouldn’t disqualify you from playing, he needs to demonstrate that he is capable of performing at the top level once again. He has been free riding for way too long now.

Agree. Time for him to go but he could easily retire now. Would be a fitting end to a good long career. Acor is a great pickup, he was one of the only reasons MAD lions did as well as they did. Dunno if dexter is the right person for this multinational team, but it could work

2021-01-15 15:30

I really see this working. They were needing an impactful awper. Chrisj was good but unfortunately he had a really rough year and seemed to be playing very nervously vs good teams. I think this team will be doing good without karrigan, the young players learnt a lot from him already. I think dexter is a good caller and did good with the players he had in his region, this will be a good test for him.

As someone who loves Degster, you're absolutely right. But obviously the plan would be for Acor to be primary awp and Dexter to IGL. I gotta say it, Acor > Degster. Acor has proven he can be an impactful AWP against top tier teams, he's absolutely insane.

2021-01-15 16:08

I'm not sure how I feel about Dexter IGLing. This is a big step up for someone who's been stuck in Australia playing trash teams for the past year. Filling Karrigan's shoes and IGLing against top tier teams is a tough task. However, Acor is an unreal pick up. EXACTLY what this team needs.

2021-01-15 16:08

1 reply

To be honest, they really need a good coach to help dexter make this happen. Sure, he’s got big boots to fill but then again it’s not like karrigan was without criticism and it’s not like there is a huge open market for IGLs out there. Karrigan was leaving anyway so it was going to be either ChrisJ (dear god no) or someone new.

2021-01-15 16:56

2021-01-15 16:18

2 replies

Nah, Karrigan is still under contract until March. If it mattered then the news about Acor would change his mind (and honestly this could easily become a top team if Karrigan stays and they kick Chris for Acor). Faze has the $$$, they'll offer Karrigan a deal Mouz would never be able to match. He also get's to reunite with Rain, and an org he's played for before and likely enjoys a lot.

2021-01-15 16:23

1 reply

all true but i am concerned that everyone seems to be saying FaZe as an org isnt that good at supporting the CS team and i feel that Karrigan needs a fair bit after seeing them without Reijn

if dexter can call in t1, this team could easily be title contenders

Bymas and Dexter have been playmakers and are perfectly capable of entrying. Dexter has a similar style to Karrigan playstyle wise, always trying to get info

2021-01-15 21:25

Sad to see chrisJ go, I'm guessing he's probably gonna stop playing after that, he was a monster (and everyone calling him botJ doesn't understand anything about roles in teams and all the small things he brought to mousesports Hope the new mouse is successful tho :)

2021-01-15 16:27

imo dexter has proven himself against lower tier opponents in AUS but hasn't seen results against tier 1 teams for a while now. Picking him up, especially as IGL, is a risky move for mouz but I think he deserves a chance.

2021-01-15 16:27

2021-01-15 16:44

How can they bench chrisJ - player with most impactful clutches and understanding of the game? Mouz after NiKo still don't know that firepower means nothing in cs?

2021-01-15 17:30

This is a surprisingly interesting move. acoR is a great AWP pickup. Dexter is a wildcard. He's a great player, but it'll be interesting to see how good his leadership is with actually talented players. Could be very hit or miss, but he deserves the chance given his history prior to 2020.

2021-01-15 17:31

2 replies

one thing that a lot of people have glanced over is that dexter has already worked together with mithr on Renegades, so this might not be such of a big wildcard. If a coach and an IGL is on the same page, that is a big step of the team actually turning out good.

so it means innocent back from mad lions bench ?

2021-01-15 18:34

Actual pog roster, very highly capable of achieving alot if it happens. Finally Acor getting saved.

2021-01-15 18:38

I dunno if this lineup is gonna work, but this is interesting for sure. For what its worth, other teams should learn from mouz how to make decent to great lineups with reasonable money, not splurge millions around, buyout players and pay them totalling 1.4 million, then brag about it and then just bench them out.

2021-01-15 18:39

wtf bymas stayed?

2021-01-15 18:39

2021-01-15 18:54

Sick lineup, very promising if Dexter can focus on making them shine and still having great performance

2021-01-15 18:56

I hope Karrigan doesn't go back to FaZe, that would just be humiliating after getting kicked. It would be cool if some tournament organiser picked up both Karrigan and ChrisJ to make a veteran team and judge maps or younger teams and also play in show-matches. They could get GeT_Right and Xizt alongside them, and one more retired player, someone like N0thing maybe.

I would love to see this lineup (if karrigan really decides to leave). Maybe a good support player is missing .. but if lineup isn’t working there is still a way for a classic -chrisj +Chrisj move and bench someone again...
