xfl0ud on the MOUZ CS2 roster: “I think they’re not in top form yet.”
FUT Esports rifler Yasin “xfl0ud” In an interview at the CS2 Esports World Cup 2026, the coach assessed MOUZ’s current form, shared his impressions of the tournament, and thanked his team’s coaching staff.
On the Esports World Cup 2026 and the fans
We’re playing in the arena right now—it’s really cool, and it’s the team’s best experience at events like this. Of course, there’s pressure, but we enjoy it. ...> There are a lot of our fans here, and that helps us. When we make mistakes at certain moments, they still cheer for us, so we don’t feel as much pressure.
About MOUZ
It seems to me that MOUZ has been a bit inconsistent when it comes to roster changes. We also swapped out one player, but I don’t think they’re in top form yet. So this was a good opportunity to play against them. Maybe they’ll get stronger by the end of the season. This is the second time we’ve faced them in this tournament, and to be honest, we didn’t really feel much resistance.
On playing for HEROIC and FUT Esports
My main problem at HEROIC was a lack of self-confidence, so people didn’t really believe in me. <...> On this team, they listen to me more, so I think we’ve found a great foundation.
On the coaching staff
We have an assistant coach, as well as coolio, who is the head coach. Both of them put in a lot of work analyzing our opponents and devising a plan for what we need to do in matches. We believe in our coaching staff, and I think the results speak for themselves.
FUT Esports defeated MOUZ in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Esports World Cup for Counter-Strike 2. Aulon “Krabeni” Fazlia’s team took Dust2 in overtime with a score of 16–13, then confidently closed out Ancient 13–5. As a result, the German squad finished the tournament in 5th–8th place and earned $60,000 in prize money.
