Long-time Mousesports pair Tomas 'oskar' Stastny and Miikka 'suNny' Kemppi have opened up about their exits from the team's starting line-up as they search for new opportunities elsewhere.
The pair departed from the Mouz active roster on March 14 after Counter-Strike: Global Offensive ream – including the in-demand Danish in-game leader, Finn 'Karrigan' Andersen.
After having some time to compose their thoughts, the long serving members of the Mouz squad revealed their feelings about departing the team.
Teams will be lining up to take suNny off Mouz' hands.
Sunny utilized TwitLonger to make his feelings known about his benching. He revealed that there is interest in him from other teams – which has already been previously reported – but he added that he will be taking his time before making a commitment.

The Finnish star fragger also explained that there is no "bad blood" between him and his now-former teammates – before thanking them all for their time together and the success they were able to have.
SunNy took to TwitLonger to reveals his feelings.
Oskar posted his parting comments on Twitter as he is now a free agent and able to negotiate with any team moving forward. "GG. I would like to thank all the people supporting me during my time in mouz," he said."

Despite not being a team for all that long, Mouz will be expected to make a push for the weekly tournament finals, which if they claimed success in, would see them claim a spot at the LAN Finals in London in June.

Don't count out Counter-Strike legend Christopher 'GeT_RiGhT' Alesund. Although he's taking an extended break from his esports career, fans won't have to wait long to see what his next chapter will bring.
For legacy CS fans, there's no name that rings as loudly as GeT_RiGhT's in almost every era of Valve's shooter through the past two decades.
But the Swedish sensation is temporarily moving on from competitive play. This was a heartbreak for an industry that's gotten used to seeing the star pop off at will throughout events, an experience that will have to wait for now.
Instead, the 30-year-old is excited to commit himself to the world of content creation and Twitch streaming to experience a "competition on another level for a person that loves competition," GeT_RiGhT said.
"I love games," he said. "At the end of the day I'm a gamer… CS is not the complete story of GeT_RiGhT."

Although he has plenty of surprises in store for his fanbase, he made a note to say that this stage of his career will only mean he'll be more active in games like Valorant, Call of Duty, and even maybe some League of Legends.
Still, GeT_RiGhT didn't go so far as to rule out coming back to pro level play in the future, although he's not holding out for a return soon.
For the time being, people can get excited to see a heavy presence from the Swede on Twitch, playing multiple titles as well as, of course, CS:GO.
