MOUZ will play at 1WIN Essence with SumaiL and Tobi
SumaiL is making a surprise return to the game: the midlaner will play for MOUZ at 1win Essence 1. Tobi will also appear on the roster with him.
Initially, MOUZ were supposed to play with MidOne and Aik, but both will miss the tournament.
Aik joined the team after Seleri left the pro scene; by the way, he stated that after his career he plans to go into politics. Together with Aik, MOUZ have already managed to achieve their first results:
— top 3 at Premier Series;
— 9–11th place at PGL Wallachia Season 8.
At 1win Essence 1 MOUZ will play with the following lineup:
- Crystallis
- SumaiL (stand-in)
- BOOM
- yamich
- Tobi (stand-in)
- ImmortalFaith (coach)
SumaiL recently left Nigma Galaxy after almost four years on the roster. After that he took a break and is now a free agent. Even considering that he hasn’t been practicing lately, this is a strong replacement. Tobi is a less successful player — at the very least, he didn’t win TI at 16 — but he does have experience regularly playing as a stand-in.
1win Essence 1 will take place from May 2 to 11 in an online format. 14 teams will compete for a prize pool of $100,000. Despite not being a high-tier event, the level of competition is high enough to test rosters with such significant stand-in changes.
