After going from a seemingly casual team to a formidable force, Team Dog have surprised a large majority of the community, especially after the acquisition of

Adrian 'Fata' Trinks and

Pascal 'Pas' Lohmeier from Team Sigma. Now the players finally found a real home and we can dispense with the woof woof jokes. Mousesports is reborn.

Despite a bumpy start to their life as professional the former Team Dog look on track to become a solid European-based team, especially after qualifying themselves for the ESL One finals in Frankfurt next month. Mousesports - who fielded teams at both TI2 and TI3, dissolved their last DOTA2 squad in January of this year after struggling to find a stable roster. With Team Dog finally finishing their line-up and ceasing to continue their stand-in cameos from players such as

XBOCT,

exist and

Mason, they should allow Mousesports' resurgence to be more than just a flash in the pan.

In an interview posted on ESL earlier today, MSS spoke out about the strengths of the team Mousesports has just welcomed into their family. "We’re willing to get better at any cost. I think Pajkatt and MiSeRy’s time in China really helped establish the work ethic they have now," said Arif “MSS” Anwar. "They really want to get stuff done. They want to get better. Another thing I really like about this team is that they hype things up in game. Like when we get a kill, they start screaming and it helps boost our morale. It wasn’t really a thing I experienced before in other teams."

Mousesports will be competing in the upcoming TI4 European qualifiers, as well as attending DreamHack Summer 2014 and ESL One Frankfurt in June.
