Mousesports continues to support young and talented StarCraft II players in Europe: After Majestic joined the team, also Dutch newcomer Wouter " Sjaak" Honig will strengthen the mousesports SC2 roster. He will leave his former team to join the German club.
Not long ago, Wouter "mouz Sjaak" Honig surprised the StarCraft scene with his stellar play at DreamHack Summer 2014, where he was able to defeat established players like Ko "HyuN" Seok Hyun (KOR), Chris "HuK" Loranger (CAN) and recent WCS EU runner-up Jo "Golden" Myeong Hwan (KOR) to finish among the three best European players at the event. The 15-year-old also took 4th place in the Dutch StarCraft League last weekend, including a 2-0 victory over Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen.
As of today, Honig will join the mousesports StarCraft II division, to line up with his new teammates. Honig is the fourth SC2 player in the current roster who's of age 17 or younger - only veteran Dennis "mouz HasuObs" Schneider has passed the 18-year mark. "Markus and myself have been hard at work for the past few months trying to scout for new talents", says mousesports StarCraft II Coordinator Reece "mouz Tidus Mino" Fowler.

Wouter "mouz Sjaak" Honig: "I'm very excited to announce that I will be playing for mousesports, this is a dream come true for me. The last year has been crazy and I have improved significantly. I would like to thank my former team EC Visualize for creating an environment where I was able to train and attend tourneys, as well as making this trade happen. I intend to work hard and earn my spot in the mousesports roster. I will be competing at the upcoming ATC event and I will also try to qualify for WCS. This is a really great opportunity given to me by mouz, as I will be able to take my gaming career to the next level. Also thanks for all the fans who have been cheering for me, I hope I can give you many more great games to come. Special thanks to Markus and Tidus of mousesports as well as our sponsors BenQ, EpicGear & XMG."
Reece "mouz Tidus Mino" Fowler: "Sjaak fits the team perfectly and has already bonded well with his new teammates. We are dedicated to working hard to improve our members both as players and as professional gamers. Together with our sponsors BenQ, EpicGear and XMG we aim to provide a platform for young players like Sjaak and Majestic to prove himself to a global audience and engage with their new found fans. With our new Protoss Duo joining the established team we have, I feel we have a powerful international lineup that will continue to flourish as time progresses."

Nice! And just in time, they will play vs Team Liquid tomorrow in ATC playoffs.

Was this the only foreigner who was left in the Ro16 who was later defeated by Taeja? I recall watching the match, but I can't remember whether it was HSC or DH. If so, this guy definitely has promise.

Thanks. This feat and Taeja's two consecutive and undefeated wins were the only things I remember from those events.

Mousesports always has a good hand at chosing talents. With their two new players I believe they will actually stand a good chance to get second at ATC.

Err I fear their lineup of Hasuobs, Heromarine, Starbuck, Majestic, and Sjaak will still have some trouble against Team Taeja if you know what I mean.
Either way good pickup! Mouz got the second most Bonjwa potential player in Europe (the first being of course Scoobers)

So mouz can play ATC, cool

Half the sources say his name is Wouter Honig and half the sources say his name is Wouter Bree. I'm aware this isn't important at all, but it brings out my OCD about putting correct informations in databases ^.^

Let's not forget Team Acer. They're probably going to be one of the toughest hurdles Mouz has to overcome. Sad to see Lucifron go. If he remained, I'd say that would make Mouz's roster stronger and far more well rounded.
