The prodigal son returns

siuhy was at the top of most of tier one’s shopping list going into this silly season, and the Major finalist has found a new home already — according to Luis Mira at least.

But it’s none of the big dogs; it’s not G2, or FaZe, or even Liquid. siuhy has returned to MOUZ, the org where he made his name winning four WePlay Academy Leagues back-to-back.

It does make you wonder why they didn’t just promote all four of them back in 2022 but hey ho, we got there in the end. Let’s talk about the here and now.

There’s good and bad to this.

Good: siuhy goes back to the 4-man core he made serial winners at youth level. He links back up with sycrone. He’s not at one of the huge orgs that spit out IGLs after 6 months. Expectations won’t be sky-high.

Bad: He leaves iM behind, who might be finding it hard to get out of GamerLegion, according to smooya on HLTV Confirmed. We won’t get to see if GamerLegion were a flash in the pan (they were). He’s not at one of the huge orgs that has the superstars to win trophies.

Okay, that last one might be harsh on MOUZ. xertioN and frozen have the potential to be superstars, for sure. frozen might already be one, even if he is a little bit too stat-paddy for our liking sometimes.

The big question mark will be on torzsi, who looked like the next big non-m0NESY thing under siuhy in the academy league but has struggled in the big leagues.

For siuhy, it’s a bigger stepping stone on the gilded staircase on his road to greatness. There is more hype around this 20-year-old IGL than anyone not named m0NESY. And, for our money, that is earned.
