MOUZ Sign Israeli Rifler ⁠Spinx From Team Vitality

On 22 January 2025, German organization MOUZ announced that in-game leader (IGL) Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek had been benched due to "different visions for the team's direction," which shocked most Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) esports fans.  

Now, the MOUZ roster is once again complete. The organization didn't waste any time signing Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi, who was sitting on Team Vitality's bench after acquiring Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool.

MOUZ announced the move on social media, and it seems many fans are excited to see Spinx on the squad. After all, Spinx is a Major Championship winner and IEM champion and is no stranger to the HLTV top 20 players.

Today I’m starting a new chapter in @mousesports very excited to join the boys and looking forward to play with them🙏
Thank you for everything @TeamVitalityCS see you on the server

To be clear, Spinx isn't taking over the IGL role previously filled by Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek. Instead, 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."  

Welcome to the team, @spinxcs2! I've always seen him as an absolute beast on the server since the first time we faced each other, really excited to start working with you. 👊 https://t.co/wHdbBE8lkC

The MOUZ Roster:

• Jimi "⁠Jimpphat⁠" Salo
• Hungary Ádám "⁠torzsi⁠" Torzsás
• Dorian "⁠xertioN⁠" Berman
• Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi
• Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin (IGL)
• Dennis "⁠sycrone⁠" Nielsen (coach)

It is important to note that Spinx will not compete under the MOUZ banner for IEM Katowice 2025. Since the event's rosters are already locked in, the organization is fielding an academy (MOUZ NXT) player, Adrian "⁠xelex⁠" Vincze, for their trek to Poland. We should see Spinx compete at PGL Cluj-Napoca, which begins on 14 February 2025.
