MOUZ returns to Dota 2 and announces a new roster for the 2026 season

The German team MOUZ has officially announced their new Dota 2 lineup for the 2026 season, featuring a roster of both talented and renowned players, demonstrating their ambition to return to the top tier in the new season.

MOUZ's new lineup includes former Tundra Esports core player Crystallis, mid laner MidOne, Czech player BOOM, Yamich from Eastern Europe, and the team's core and new captain Seleri.

The lineup is led by experienced coach ImmortalFaith, who has joined MOUZ since March 2024. He has coached Nigma Galaxy and Gaimin Gladiators and has rich experience in international competitions.

This roster features several renowned players from Europe and Southeast Asia. Crystallis has performed exceptionally well over the past year, winning numerous tournaments with various teams. MidOne, formerly a star mid laner for Team Secret and a three-time Major champion, is poised for a resurgence in his career with MOUZ.

BOOM and Yamich have both proven themselves in top-tier regions, adding stability and potential to the roster. As captain, Seleri, with a track record of three Major titles and two TI runner-up finishes, is the cornerstone of MOUZ's team.

MOUZ has been active on and off in Dota 2 since 2011, and in recent years has been constantly experimenting with new roster combinations in an attempt to regain their top form. Following the conclusion of The International 2025, the team decisively completed a rebuild and immediately entered the DreamLeague Season 27 Open Qualifiers.

If they advance, MOUZ will face strong teams such as OG, Natus Vincere, and Virtus.pro in the closed qualifiers. DreamLeague Season 27 will take place from December 10th to 21st, marking the first stop of the ESL Pro Tour's 2025-26 season. Twenty-four teams will compete for a share of the $1 million prize pool.
