ropz leaves MOUZ

29/12/2021 - 17:23

The Estonian star leaves MOUZ after four and a half years amid reports of his move to FaZe.

Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool and MOUZ have officially gone their separate ways, the German organization has announced. The 22-year-old is believed to have left the team ahead of the original end date of his latest contract, with a mid-December report linking him with a transfer to FaZe.

MOUZ were the Estonian star's first professional team. ropz joined the organization at the time still known as mousesports in 2017 to link up with names such as Chris "⁠chrisJ⁠" de Jong and Tomáš "⁠oskar⁠" Šťastný, having made his name in the FACEIT Pro League (FPL) as a young up-and-comer.

He quickly evolved to a point where his name would be at the tip of people's tongues when talking about stars of the future, and by the end of 2017 he helped the team win his first international event at ESG Tour Mykonos in Greece.

In 2018, after winning titles at StarSeries i-League Season 4, V4 Future Sports Festival, and ESL One New York, ropz made his first-ever appearance in the year's top 20 players ranking in 19th place. He improved on the end-of-year placing after the team underwent core changes in early 2019, finishing in 10th place that year and in 7th place in 2020, becoming a big brand player for the organization and their biggest star.

Why the ropz reunion is karrigan's endgame

He now leaves MOUZ after an up-and-down 2021, which saw the team make changes in leadership once again after the loss of Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen to FaZe and the arrival of Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong.

The European squad suffered through inconsistency that saw them exit events outside of the playoffs more often than not and remained outside of the top 10 of the ranking for the majority of the year, with the exception of a short period following a surprising victory at Flashpoint 3.

MOUZ are left with the following four players and coach:

David "⁠frozen⁠" Čerňanský
Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong
Aurimas "⁠Bymas⁠" Pipiras
Frederik "⁠acoR⁠" Gyldstrand

Torbjørn "⁠mithR⁠" Nyborg (coach)

2021-12-29 19:02

Zero chance, torzi is the only one truly ready for tier one. The rest are good players but need more time to develop.

2021-12-29 22:13

Ngl the new branding/name sucks. Can’t get used to it.

2021-12-29 23:02

I think everyone is excited to see where ropz will go, but this is only the beginning. Hopefully, the next Mouz roster won't be so disappointing :(

2021-12-29 17:25

how can it be any better? ropz was the strongest link in there

2021-12-29 17:29

I meant this is only the beginning of the changes, but since you mention it, this is an opportunity for new stars to emerge. We don't know what the future holds 0-o

And it finally happens

pog

I was here FAZE TOP 1

top 3 is their limit

Top 3 still good if they finally get a major.

2021-12-29 19:38

Nah those are reserved for astralis and vitality

2021-12-29 22:24

Vitality won't succeed at anything with 2 french players with semi bad English, apex with good English but accent and 2 Danish players. Also I don't even see chemistry between them and zywoo, judging from your name you are a hardcore fanboy of Astralis so I won't go into explanation why I think their roster will never succeed, untill they remove xyp and gla1ve and get an actual awper

2021-12-30 11:30

Lol just replace lucky

2021-12-30 14:29

Lucky still playing better than both xyp and gla1ve, why replace your youngster when you can replace the old and bad players and make a new astralis, that's why I don't think astralis will succeed not before 2024 when they will part ways with xyp.

2021-12-30 19:04

they are not that old and not bad, lucky is young but they need an awper

2021-12-30 19:49

well top 3 teams have more of an equal chances of winning a Major, so yeah

2021-12-30 07:23

But what if its astralis and vitality who they are competing against😎

2021-12-30 14:13

Faze should win :)

2021-12-30 19:37

Nah, they dont look that good in majors also

2021-12-30 19:52

I think after 2018, Faze didn't perform well in the Majors. Since then, it would be the first time (lan) when Faze actually settles with roles that make sense, without incessantly changing the lineup. One can say that the Faze that showed up in the Major kinda had settled roles and enough time. But IMO, the motivation and energy in Olof and Ropz are kinda different. Olof's main reason to even play was substitution. So if everything goes as it seems, then surely Faze would be Top 4 in the Majors, or even win it. Nevertheless, this is all speculation.

2021-12-31 07:06

GL to him! It was a great journey on MOUZ but it's really nice to see Ropz grow as a player! Congratz

Btw 1722 days in one team, that's impressive af. slightly more than 4 and a half years in his first pro team.

RUNNN FROZENNN!!! RUNNNNN!!!

...and acoR needs to be replaced, and rumors are Bymas is out Would not be surprised if MOUZ NXT just gets promoted to the main roster at this point. Things haven't gone great for MOUZ with Dexter, and frozen could be an opportunity for them to make some money.

Sad to see mouz die but it was necessary, time to build something new from scratch. At this point might as well keep just frozen and get 4 new guys around him, get some boys from academy and some experienced players also

Nope they are gonna keep chowman in the team which means the roster is fucked anyways.

WELCOME TO FURIA

Right decision for this guy if he wants to achieve something in his career!

2021-12-29 19:12

he kinda achieved a lot with mouz i'd say. sure, you can always win more but how many pros really do that. In the end he got 9 trophies - including StarSeries S4, ESL NY, EPL S10, FP3 - with them (just compare that to G2 since ropz joined mouz), ranked 4 times in HLTV's top 20 and he just got 22. A pretty good career so far if you ask me. But i obviously wish him even more success in the future, as long as it's not against mouz.

Totally agree with you, obviously I'm not trying to say he had a bad career, stats etc.! He has achieved things in MOUZ for sure! But I think he has the potential to be a Top 3 player with the right lineup, maybe even Top 1 and the right lineup is not on MOUZ... Not right now atleast.

2021-12-29 23:01

Sad to see him go but good luck to him in his new team! I will be cheering for him to succeed.

2021-12-30 17:33

They might need to change rain to be honest. I would give rain 1 or 2 months to play with the new roster and if he doesn't perform then bench him and find a new entry fragger

2021-12-30 21:05

I agree but broky needs to pick it up also, he either plays really well or really bad, just like rain.

2021-12-30 21:08

Yea I agree with that broky needs to step up, maybe remove him from AWP and make him entry frag with rifle and remove rain and find a new AWPer but idk it could be a really bad idea

2021-12-30 21:11

2022-01-02 23:24

I think rain is just enough of an entry fragger tbh., I mean sure he isn't what he used to be, but he is still ok in my mind, I think he can still play on top level.

2021-12-31 16:05
