MOUZ, the renowned German esports organization, has officially announced the departure of David "frozen" Čerňanský from its Counter-Strike team. The 21-year-old Slovakian star, who has been an integral part of MOUZ for almost five years, is said to be on the verge of joining FaZe, marking the end of an era for both the player and the organization.

Frozen, who joined MOUZ in March 2019 as part of a squad overhaul, played a pivotal role in the team's success. Under the organization, he celebrated triumphs in prestigious tournaments, including the ESL Pro League Season 10 Finals in Odense. His journey with the team reached a significant milestone in 2022 when he secured a spot in HLTV's top 20 player rankings and contributed to MOUZ's impressive run to the IEM Rio semi-finals.

Emotional farewell from frozen

The departure of frozen has not only left a void in MOUZ's roster but has also stirred emotions within the player himself. In a heartfelt statement posted on X/Twitter, frozen expressed the difficulty of his decision, reflecting on the opportunity provided to him at the age of 16. He acknowledged the organization for turning his dreams into reality, allowing him to travel the world, win tournaments, and forge lasting friendships.
