Shock Move Sees MOUZ IGL siuhy⁠ Removed From Starting Lineup

I thought "rostermania" was over in the Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) esports community. Guess I was wrong...since MOUZ has, with immediate effect, removed in-game leader Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek from their starting lineup, citing "different visions for the team's direction" as the reason.

Swedish AWPer Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin will take on the mantle of IGL, while Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás and Dorian "xertioN" Berman will "undertake expanded responsibilities within the team." 

The initial announcement revealed that Adrian "xelex" Vincze from the MOUZ NXT will serve as a stand-in for IEM Katowice 2025. The event begins on 29 January 2025 with the Play-In stage, but MOUZ is a direct-invite team, so they have a little longer (1 February) before they need to play. 

At the time of writing, no further details about Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek's removal were available. Many fans, including myself, definitely didn't expect this move. The latest reports suggest that MOUZ has come to a verbal agreement with Lotan "Spinx" Giladi, who is currently on Team Vitality's bench.
