N0thing will Play for Mousesports at ESL One Belo Horizonte

Tuesday, May 5th Mousesports announced that former Cloud9 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player Jordan "N0thing" Gilbert will be standing in for Mousesports CS:GO player Tomáš "oskar" Šťastný at ESL One Belo Horizonte. 

The team stated that oskar will be sitting out of the CS:GO competition for ESL One Belo Horizonte due to personal reasons. The star player for Mousesports was the subject of death threats at the teams latest event at StarSeries Season 5, but there has been no confirmation if the two situations are in anyway related. 

However, Mousesports will be having one of the professional CS:GO scene's most well known players joining the team for ESL One Horizonte. N0thing went into inactive status for Cloud9 back in August, while his official contract with the organization ended in May.

We are happy to announce that @n0thing will be joining the mouz-forces but for ESL One Belo Horizonte only, as @csgooskar is out due to personal reasons! Oskar will be back for ESL One Cologne, but in the meantime we are happy to have n0thing representing us in Brazil! #vamouz pic.twitter.com/dXIH4dtezH

Until the announcement by Mousesports today, N0thing had stepped away from competing for the most part, as the player had been mostly focusing on streaming and working as an analyst at CS:GO events. However, N0thing has been competing in the current ESEA Open Division for the team of the Old Guys Club that consists of fellow CS:GO veterans Michael "shroud" Grzesiek, Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen, Sean Gares and Robin "Fifflaren" Johansson.

ESL One Belo Horizonte will be the first ESL One event to take place in Brazil and is scheduled to take place between June 15th-17th in the region. With a prize pool of $200,000 up for grabs, Mousesports will be looking for N0thing to lend his professional CS:GO experience and talent to help the team capture of the lion's share of the heft prize pool.
