Counter-Strike veteran Navid "Kapio" Javadi has agreed to coach mousesports' team until the end of the year, HLTV.org has learned.

The 30-year-old veteran has been out of action since late 2012, when he called time on a career which saw him play a crucial role in two of the most successful German teams in the history of Counter-Strike.

His breakthrough came in 2006, when his ALTERNATE aTTaX squad won the WSVG finals, in Texas. The following year, he signed for mousesports, with whom he would win Extreme Masters Season II, Extreme Masters Season III Dubai and IEM Season IV Gamescom, among other tournaments.



Kapio to coach mousesports

After a three-year hiatus, Navid "⁠Kapio⁠" Javadi has decided to venture again into Counter-Strike, this time as a coach for mousesports, who will attend DreamHack Open Cluj next week.

Team SoloMid, G2 and FlipSid3 Tactics will be mousesports' opponents in the group stage of the Romanian major. The German team will attend the event with hopes of at least breaking into the top eight after finishing 9th-16th at ESL One Cologne.
