mouz sign approx

mousesports have announced they have picked up Manuel "approx" Zeitz from Team ALTERNATE.

The German player had strongly been linked with a move to mousesports after Navid "Kapio" Javadi and Fatih "gob b" Dayik both announced they would leave the team at the end of the year.

Zeitz himself fuelled these stories earlier this month, when he made no secret that he was about to abandon ALTERNATE to embark on a new journey.

He has decided to put an end to a four-year spell with ALTERNATE, having joined from SK Gaming in January 2007.

This move leaves mousesports with just one spot to fill ahead of the New Year, with reports suggesting TBH.ASUS captain Thanh Vinh "ninja" Bui as favourite for the fifth position.

"After four long years with aTTaX, it was time for a change of scenario. I also wanted to, like two years ago, play again with roman, which I thought that would be impossible last year when he left aTTaX for mouz," Zeitz told mousesports' official website.

"Now I play with Tixo, roman, karrigan and the mysterious stranger, and I think it works out really well.

"We have been working a lot and the team will improve in the coming weeks."

mousesports will make their first appearance with the new line-up at the IEM5 European Championship Finals in Kiev from January 20-23, where they will present:

Manuel "Tixo" Makohl
Roman "roman" Ausserdorfer
Manuel "approx" Zeitz
Finn "karrigan" Andersen
