Dreamhack winnre, Naama leaves Mouz and joins up with the team Virus (featuring Satiini). Pretty strange move in my opinion, as he's leaving one of the top foreign teams and joining a pretty random/midlevel one....

Isnt Virus a finnish clan? Anyway it doesnt seem like the best decision he could make since Mouz has better players...

"My time in mousesports was great and I´d like to thank all in the team for being awesome. Many teams in e-sport seem not to be reliable and professional but mousesports is the completely opposite. Everything that was promised for me was done and I have no bad word to say about this team and thanks for letting me go even though I was contracted." - Naama

That's interesting. I wonder what made him leave, what does Team Virus have to offer?

Weird move indeed.
Maybe ~~he had problems with Mouz~~ (seems not but still he probably wouldn't say it out loud even if it's true anyway) or Virus is planing to get bigger and offered a better contract etc?
Either way , good luck to him!

Maybe he wanted to be on a Finnish team? I don't know anything about Virus, but Satiini is another Finnish player, and it makes some sense for players to want a practice environment in their native language. Only speculation, though.

Edit: Virus is apparently a team started by Satiini, and most of the players are Finnish, but they call it a French team and use the french flag.

Virus offered better salary for Naama and he decided to leave~~

I heart virus team owner is millionnaire who owns two F1 teams :S. Pretty crazy
And Virus is french team with many Finnish players on it

while this seems a strange decision i guess if virus are gonna invest and become another top level team then this is only a good thing

Teams only have a limited budget to fly people to various one off events. I'm guessing Naama joined Virus so he can be the team's star player, get sent everywhere, and not get overshadowed (or at least constantly compete) with Morrow/HasuObs.

E: Naama is one of the more interesting terran players to watch. If I'm right, I think it's a good thing.

Maybe it has to do with the "contested" rule of the NASL limiting each team to have 5 players in the league? With Virus, his spot will be ensured no problem.

However, I only see 4 pretty good players in Mouz from my perspective : MaNa, Strelok, HasuObs and MorroW... Could it be that they are adding a 5th big name... White-Ra HAS to find a team to play in NASL... *wonders*
