MOUZ NXT secure fourth consecutive WePlay Academy League title

26-6-2022 20:08

With just four map losses across the whole season, MOUZ NXT once again reigned supreme in the junior league.

MOUZ NXT have been crowned champions in the fourth season of the WePlay Academy League following a run that saw the Polish-Israeli-Finnish mixture complete an undefeated run through the playoffs' lower bracket and beat BIG Academy in the grand final.

With four titles in four seasons, the core of Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek, Hubert "⁠szejn⁠" Światły, and Dorian "⁠xertioN⁠" Berman remains the team to beat on the junior level despite having made multiple changes over the course of the last couple of editions of the competition.

mhL led the way for MOUZ NXT with great playoffs performances

Going into this season, MOUZ NXT had brought in 15-year-old Jimi "⁠Jimpphat⁠" Salo to replace Jon "⁠JDC⁠" de Castro after the German was promoted to the main roster, and they looked as good as ever.

The team lost just two maps in the group stage and two in the playoffs, having dropped to the lower bracket immediately on the back of a loss to FURIA Academy in the first round, before going on an unbeaten run from there on, taking down fnatic Rising, the Brazilians in a rematch, and BIG Academy in the title decider, all in 2-0 series.

xertioN was once again key to the run, putting up a 1.23 rating across 20 maps, but it was the AWPer, Miłosz "⁠mhL⁠" Knasiak, who finished the event as MOUZ's highest-rated player at 1.26 and the highest overall in the playoffs with a 1.32 rating in eight maps. Jimpphat put in a solid debut in the league with a consistent display, averaging a 1.03 rating in the tournament.

The final standings of WePlay Academy League S4 look as follows:

1. MOUZ NXT - $45,000
2. BIG Academy - $20,000
3. FURIA Academy - $15,000
4. fnatic Rising - $8,000
5-6. Astralis Talent - $4,000
5-6. Young Ninjas - $4,000
7-8. OG Academy - $1,500
7-8. PROSPECTS - $1,500
9-10. Young Gods - $500
9-10. NAVI Junior - $500
11-12. Apeks Rebels
11-12. Spirit Academy
13. Eternal Fire Academy

Honestly I get why they brought 2 academy players up but Dexter is just screwing them over

2022-06-26 20:28

its not dexters problem them not being ready for tier 1 they had good showing at beginning ofc, bc no one were prepared for them new players now after some time, they just suck imagine replacing nbk with jdc, who can not do shit against tier 1 teams and got no experience too

Poland Mountain

so easy

deserved, furia did good too

2022-06-26 20:42

Changes werent as many as it sounds. They only replaced mhL and jimpphat for basically JDC & Torzsi. Still sick performances cause they had their head in other leagues aswell (REPUBLEAGUE f.e.) and struggled a bit. but great comeback quality.

2022-06-26 20:45

ez for king siuhy, ceo mhl, bossman szejn, chad xertion and prince jampi

Fnatic throwed this :))) they had like 10+ lead in both maps and somehow they managed to lose....

GG MOUZ, BIG really surprised me this season ☺️

2022-06-26 21:02

MOUZ might do questionable changes with their main roster, but atleast they know how to get up and coming talents. GGs

Ez for xertion per usual every season

2022-06-26 21:19

Nice :)

2022-06-26 21:33

how many times do you need to win this title before the main team gets fired?

2022-06-26 21:36

+siuhy +xertion incoming??

2022-06-26 21:42

GG boys. I think MOUZ should really think about promoting another player to the main team, and I think siuhy could be a good IGL for the main team, worth a shot I think.
