The former Quantic StarCraft II player will join forces with mousesports, one of the leading teams in professional gaming to pursue his career, representing mousesports. His first appearance for mouz will be the IGN Pro Team League on Friday.
mouz TV special: Illusion will be on air on Monday, February 18th for a Special episode of mouz Trap with James "Kaelaris" Carrol, Dennis "HasuObs" Schneider aswell as Grzegorz "MaNa" Komincz, discussing the recent pickup of the US Terran player. The show will start at approx. 20:00 CET (14:00 EST) and will be available as a VOD aswell on www.mousesports.tv.
Chris "Illusion" Lee: "Thanks so much to mousesports for believing in me enough to present me this opportunity. I look forward to proving my worth to them by having continuing success in NA and around the world. Thanks to the fans for supporting me over the past few months while I was teamless. WE have now found a New home in Mousesports. Special thanks to all sponsors BenQ, GeIL, Razer and Thortech for making this possible. mouz fighting!"
I was wondering what illusion was doing all this time, i'm happy he as able to find a great team. Mouz will benefit from this as well, as they really need extra players.
Was still hoping he'd end up on Complexity, this is good too. If anyone can fill Thorzain's footprints it might just be Illusion!
Although I hope it doesn't become a trend of top NA talent joining EU teams. I know goswser expressed wanting to compete in EU, but still. Congrats to Illusion :DDD
Pleased to see this, but hoping his wrists don't cause problems here - He was saying on twitter a few days ago that his wrists were hurting a ton since he came back from Korea
It's a great pickup, it makes so much sense, but I totally did not see it coming haha. GL to both parties, hope mouz regains their spot among the top foreign teams again.
Well Illusion does look good in red, so i'm satisfied with this acquisiton =P. Glad to see Mousesports is still around these days. If it wasn't for Mana, I would have nearly forgotten about them!
Awesome to see Chris get picked up by a reliable team. I remember his series vs Creator in WCS. He lost, but he had some sick games and beautiful engagements. Really think if he sticks with it he will become a serious force. Good luck!
Great! We posted an article on this as well. If you are interested to read, please do so by clicking here. I can't wait to see him on MLG, his APM is crazy from what I know.
Grats to him, but in all honesty- what has he accomplished? I have been hearing how he is going to be a huge breakout player for over a year now and the biggest thing he has accomplished is 2nd in ONOG invitation in January of 2012 vs Kas.
I'm glad for both of them! Mouz has needed a pickup for awhile, and Illusion is a strong one. Along with that, Mouz is a great team for a great player like Illusion.
meh, used to be a big illusion fan myself but he has been extremely lackluster since vile became quantic. maybe im wrong but i dont see any real future here
Well mouz is seeing it, and they never picked up player blind. He seems to have something in mouz eyes that he is worth it. Or he is worst case picture just a guy to represent mouz to US Sponsors.

I had thought that Mouz was just deciding to fade into obscurity. Good to see they are still alive and kicking and picked up a solid US player. Hopefully he improves with them.
Nice move for both parties. Good to see mouz sports getting another good member of the lineup. They might start ruling foreign team leagues again!
And while we're on the subject, I was happy when I saw Geil sponsor them. Made it that much easier to recommend the often competitively-priced Geil RAM in the tech support section or elsewhere.
Edit:

Razer sponsors mouz, so they're still partnered, even if its not in the same way as before.
i like both, illusion and mouz - and i think they will work very well together <3 i still think mouz needs an established zerg player though... will see what HotS brings to the table!

Happy birthday! Maybe you should take a look at a calendar more often.
Illusion is great for mouz! All they need now is another decent zerg, preferably Dimaga (but they probably can't afford signing him), and their team will be tearing apart team leagues again.
