mousesports trial kassad as coach

For the past several days MOUZ as an organization and their players have been hinting at the acquisition of a new coach, who would be revealed at the ESL One Cologne Main Qualifier.

The team have arrived at Katowice with Aleksandar "⁠kassad⁠" Trifunović, who isn't new to the coaching role, as he had a short stint with iNation at SLTV StarSeries VIII Finals and with the Indian team Wolf prior to and at ESL One Cologne 2014.

The Serbian will rejoin with his former teammate Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač, with whom he played in Refuse and GamePub across in 2013 and 2014.

After hanging up his mouse in the latter half of 2015, kassad coached one of iNation's lineups and recently played two matches in Balkan Championship Season 3 under the same organization.

MOUZ' plan is to try kassad out at the Main Qualifier, where the team is set to meet CIS Minor winners FLuffy Gangsters, and in ELEAGUE's Group E, which will be played in two weeks from now.

"We were looking for a person who would be respected from the team as a coach and already has coaching and in-game leading experience. There weren't many options, so after several discussions we agreed to try Aleksandar out during the qualifier and ELEAGUE." mousesports' Christian "PsYcHo" Lenz told HLTV.org.

"We plan an intense partnership with Aleksandar [kassad] in the future, and he already brings a lot of input on tactics and teamplay."

HLTV.org was also told that MOUZ' new coach will not be leading in-game for the time being, but the team plans for him to transition into that role in the future.
