The departure follows recent changes to Valve's rules that prevent coaches from acting as in-game leaders. Nonetheless, kassad said he is still looking to coach another CS:GO squad.

"I am open for offers from all parts of the world and despite the new rules I think I can still contribute a lot," he said in a statement on mousesports' Facebook page.

During his time with the team, mouz qualified for ESL One: Cologne and took 9th-12th at the event. They also took an impressive 3rd-4th place finish at ELEAGUE Season 1.
