mithR parts ways with MOUZ, joins Apeks Rebels

The Danish coach transitions into talent development in the Apeks academy team.

Torbjørn "⁠mithR⁠" Nyborg has parted ways with MOUZ and announced that he has signed with Apeks to become the new coach of their academy team, Apeks Rebels. In the position, the Dane will replace Morten "⁠zEVES⁠" Vollan Christensen, whose next role in the organization is currently up in the air.

The former Renegades and MOUZ coach is no stranger to the Norwegian side, having briefly helped a previous iteration of their main roster in preparation for a Minor closed qualifierfollowing his departure from North back in early 2020.

mithR leaves the tier-one scene to transition into talent development

"I have had a good connection with Apeks, which only grew stronger as I helped them during the Road to Rio Minor Closed Qualifier," mithR said. "Helping them those two weeks leading up to that qualifier and discussing our ambitions and methods, we quickly discovered that we have the same values and beliefs."

"I’m going to miss the busy travel schedule, and playing against the best teams in the world, but I also look forward to proving to myself, Apeks, and everyone out there that my style of coaching can grow players from playing local LAN events in Scandinavia and Open Qualifiers into potential world-class athletes."

mithR leaves MOUZ after a little over a year, at a time when the European team is set to undergo changes following the loss of Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool. A late-December report from 1pv.fr states the European side will overhaul the roster with a potential addition of two of their academy players as well as Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt following an up-and-down year.

Apeks Rebels are:

Norway Steffen "⁠SLY⁠" Amundsen
Norway Tobias "⁠shyyne⁠" Sæther
Norway Ådne "⁠sense⁠" Fredriksen
Norway Even "⁠H0land⁠" Holand
Norway Preben "⁠Trax⁠" Martinsen

Denmark Torbjørn "⁠mithR⁠" Nyborg (coach)

And? They obviously been in their honeymoon period while others weren't as prepared for them as they were later in the year, which is why the results have been poor lately. Mousesports didn't evolve from Flashpoint on, in fact they've had the same major issues for months: They could stomp their enemies every now and then if they really felt it on a very good day, but they couldn't win/turn around close games, have still given away too many man advantages, lost too many anti ecos, super-weird midround calls, extremely bad t-sides, etc.. So, actually, I'm not blaming anyone. It just didn't work out as intended, which is why ropz left and mithR had to go. With NXT on the horizon, changes had to happen. And no, I didn't want a major, I just wanted to see a contender which they were not at all at any point of this year.

well maybe ur right, i just liked the flashpoint run lol on paper, that roster was supposed to be a superteam of a kind. they added the best t2 awper and someone who should've been a fragging igl but yeah, acor is what happens from time to time when u take an unproven player, and dexter failed as a fragger. i don't think anyone expected tactical depth from him, but he failed at both aspects

Both was horrible at this point. Both failed to expectations (I didnt have much expectation about mouz though). Even ropz thought fps3 was a fluke. He didn't believe at all on the project. You can't deny mouz didnt look like a contender. You have frozen and ropz and you cannot beat t2 teams. It doesnt sound like promising team.

I mean, this is good for Mouz. He wasn’t doing anything, the team was falling, and what has he done? Did he build a good system? No! He had best lurker in the world, Frozen who is young talented star player in Frozen, young entry who keeps improving in Bymas. He didn’t build any system, I didn’t see any good anti strating, he brought in dexter because he kNoWs hIm fRoM AStRaLiA, so instead of getting good European IGL he brought someone unproven just because he knows him. He also didn’t help with team mentality, they fell under the pressure, for example on the Major against VP in OT, or the little tournament after major, didn’t stop them from falling to worse teams. I don’t think he did anything extremely good, other than Bymas really improved under him, but I don’t know how big part he played in it.
