sycrone renews deal with MOUZ

The Coach of the Year finalist has inked a multi-year contract.

sycrone has overseen the transition of the NXT core into MOUZ

Dennis "⁠sycrone⁠" Nielsen has signed a new contract at MOUZ, renewing his commitment to the organization that has housed him since June 2021.

The Dane was at the helm of MOUZ NXT for their first three WePlay Academy titles before stepping up to coach the main team in January 2022.

There, he underwent a gradual promotion of the NXT core, first with Ádám "⁠torzsi⁠" Torzsás and then adding Jon "⁠JDC⁠" de Castro and Dorian "⁠xertioN⁠" Berman down the line before academy in-game leader Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek returned from a successful stint at GamerLegion.

MOUZ say the new deal will "guarantee our players shoulder massages for the foreseeable future"

The approach paid off, with MOUZ clinching a tier one title with their win at ESL Pro League Season 18 soon after the integration of another academy product in the form of Jimi "⁠Jimpphat⁠" Salo.

2023 ended with sycrone being nominated by his peers as a top three coach of the year at the HLTV Award Show, and MOUZ have now tied down their head coach for the foreseeable future as they look ahead to life without star player David "⁠frozen⁠" Čerňanský.

"I’ve renewed with MOUZ because they offer the best possible conditions," sycrone said on MOUZ's site. "When we were in talks about my contract, I raised a few concerns or demands around the team, and we talked a lot about how we can create the setup that I envisioned for the team."

"We really want to stay within the top three throughout the year and at one point, reach the number one on HLTV. We want to give our everything to try and make a major win possible, and I think it would be stupid in our position to not try and aim for that."

He could make a good coach for the Astralis Talent team. See how he fairs from there if he could make it as a tier 1 coach.

When they removed NBK by his command I though that he is a clear douchebag but team results for the last year proved me wrong. I believe he is a good coach now.

removing nbk after a month only to get jdc who wasn't an improvement and kicked a year later was bad but even tho it wasn't a good move he signed another academy player (before it was too late) despite decent results at cologne and this made mouz work better role wise and made them a good team again and not some trash international roster like nip

Not sure if he is “THE” piece they need but he faired well standing in. If NIP was the problem and he returns to his old form he could very well be a good or even great piece to the team, especially with Siuhy utilizing him. The problem is “THE” piece was Frozen and there isn’t exactly any other Frozen or Ropz just floating around in free agency right now.

Excited to see what he can continue to do with this young and upcoming roster. A big blow losing Frozen but since he’s come in they have only gotten better, hopefully that can continue even with the roadblock of finding a Frozen replacement.
