We are happy to welcome the German organisation of mousesports to ESL One Cologne 2017! Mousesports will once again try to defend their home turf, competing with Ninjas in Pyjamas, Natus Vincere, FNATIC, FaZe, Virtus.pro, G2 Esports, North, Cloud9, Immortals and SK, and clinch their first ever ESL One trophy.

Mousesports have been around for a long time in the professional CS and CS:GO scene, since 2002. Some of their recent LAN results include 5-8th place at DreamHack Las Vegas, 12-14th place at the ELEAGUE Major, 5-8th place at ELEAGUE Season 2 and 3-4th place at ESL Pro League Season 4 finals. The team's biggest roster change was the departure of their star player, NiKo, who left to join FaZe Clan in February this year.

While the team's LAN results are not of the highest caliber, mousesports have been performing extremely well in the ESL Pro League where they secured a slot in the season finals a week before the online matches conclude. That achievement included a historical win over Natus Vincere on mirage who fell to mouz 0-16. Can mousesports transfer their great online performance to a LAN setting?

See you in Cologne!

We now know eleven invited, out of twelve, teams confirmed for the event: mousesports, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Natus Vincere, FNATIC, FaZe, Virtus.pro, G2 Esports, North, Cloud9, Immortals and SK. Be sure to be among the roaring crowd that will once again fill LANXESS Arena - get your ticket here!
