MOUZ is Back in Dota 2 — and They’ve Got Seleri as Captain

Big news for old-school Dota fans: MOUZ (aka mousesports) is officially re-entering the scene, and they’re doing it with a bang. After years out of the game (and a failed comeback attempt in 2024), they’ve just signed Melchior "Seleri" Hillenkamp — one of the most respected captains in the current Dota meta.

Seleri, fresh off his run with Gaimin Gladiators where he led the team to multiple titles and two TI finals, is teaming up with former coaching partner ImmortalFaith to rebuild MOUZ from the ground up. And he’s not lacking in confidence either:

“We will bring MOUZ to TI and EWC!”

Rumored Roster

Not long after the announcement, rumors started flying on Telegram about the rest of the squad. The (unconfirmed) lineup looks like this:

• Shad (carry) – recently benched from Na’Vi
• Abed (mid) – last seen with Aurora Gaming
• Tobi (offlane) – ex-PSG Quest
• Ekki (soft support) – left AVULUS at the end of March
• Seleri (hard support/captain)

If true, that’s a seriously interesting mix — veterans with LAN experience, solid leadership, and a clear game plan.

Tier 1 Potential?

This definitely could be a Tier 1 roster if they click early and get some decent results in the next few months. But the Dota scene's brutal, and there's no shortage of hungry teams grinding for those limited TI spots.

What do you think — sleeper hit or another short-lived comeback?
