FEED THE TROLLS EP 11: Can MOUZ win the Perfect World Shanghai Major? ft Thorin & Dempz
Description
We're not talking about Snax, G2 or HooXi for this one. Instead we're taking about MOUZ! @KingDempz joins @Thooorin and I to discuss the performance of MOUZ in 2024 so far. Despite their success and consistent performance MOUZ are often overlooked in conversations about the best teams in Counter-Strike. The team is young and talented but seem to struggle on the big stage and have a reputation for choking in arena match ups. We explore MOUZ's approach to developing young talent through their academy league and the challenges they might face with this roster (and keeping it together).
