French cybersports player Nathan «NBK» Schmitt commented on his departure from the main roster of MOUZ, which was unexpected not only for the community, but also for the player himself. After spending two months on the team and playing only 25 cards, he was sent to the reserve, and his place was taken by youth team player John «JDC» de Castro.
In his March 18 post, NBK wrote that he learned of the team management's decision only 20 hours ago. He noted that he had never felt so confused by an unfair and hasty decision.
Thus, NBK will most likely not be able to compete at the Europe RMR and then at the majors, as the final line-up of teams that will go to these events has already been decided. That said, a recently signed contract may prevent Schmitt from finding a new team anytime soon. In his post, NBK mentioned that he will take a break for a few days to think about what happened and then will stream his individual workouts.
Opinions about this decision of MOUZ management are divided. Analyst and former coach Janko «YNk» Paunovic said he «is not thrilled with the change», as the team now lacks experienced players. On the other hand, analyst Alex «Mauisnake» Ellenberg said he is happy for JDC and considers it a high level player.
