mousesports have announced via their website that they will attend the MLG Columbus major with two coaches.

Niclas "⁠enkay J⁠" Krumhorn, formerly of mTw and Planetkey Dynamics, has been hard at work preparing maps and tactics, and will continue to perform these tasks in the coming weeks and at the Major itself, while Navid "⁠Kapio⁠" Javadi will be acting as an ingame coach.

Kapio, who spent most of his playing career in mousesports, joined the team as coach back in October, only to step down from the role shortly later, with Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač taking over the ingame leader responsibilities following Fatih "⁠gob b⁠" Dayik's departure.

Kapio will coach mousesports at the Major 

mousesports have been drawn into Group A for the Major, alongside Ninjas in Pyjamas, Luminosity and FlipSid3 Tactics. Their first match in Columbus will see them face the Brazilian side.

"Niclas has done an outstanding job as an analyst for us this year," mousesports CEO Cengiz Tüylü said in a statement.

"With the addition of Navid, we not only have an excellent tactical mind on our staff, but also someone who has seen it all in competitive CS and knows what it takes to win at the biggest stages.

"Especially late in the game he will help the team to keep calm and close out the match."

This means that mousesports will fly to Columbus with:

Chris "⁠chrisJ⁠" de Jong
Denis "⁠denis⁠" Howell
Johannes "⁠nex⁠" Maget
Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač
Timo "⁠Spiidi⁠" Richter

Navid "⁠Kapio⁠" Javadi (coach)
Niclas "⁠enkay J⁠" Krumhorn (coach)
