German esports organisation Mouz are building somewhat of a UK core with their new Valorant team.
The organisation entered the game’s competitive scene last month when they brought on board UK players Luzuh and Kryptix, as well as French players Amilwa and memset, and German players al0rante and substitute banx.
Now they have this week signed UK head coach Brandon ‘weber’ Weber, who said he was thrilled to join and confident Mouz can make a solid impact in Valorant.
Weber has a lot of experience in UK esports, having played Counter-Strike competitively before switching to Valorant and coaching.
He’s played CS for the likes of FM Esports, EZSkins, Endpoint and more, and most recently was coach for UK esports organisation Rix.GG’s Thunder Valorant team, which was recently released.
As Mouz have stated, weber has been working with the team for the DACH Evolution season and bootcamping in Hamburg.
As we type this, Mouz are currently taking part in the DACH Valorant Regional League playoffs against Wave Esports.
Weber said he’s excited to play in the semi-final:
Mouz’s UK Valorant players are also former CSGO players.
Luzuh said on joining last month: “I am super excited to be joining a prestigious org like Mouz, alongside four players that are extremely motivated and all have an aligned goal. We are fully confident that we can succeed and surpass our goals as one.”
Riot Games announced the 2022 Valorant Regional Leagues and circuits a few months ago. And this weekend, the Northern Europe (UK, Ireland and Nordics) playoffs are also taking place, with teams including Tundra, Alliance, Excel and Tenstar.
