MOUZ has confirmed that Israeli rifler Dorian “xertioN” Berman has signed a long-term contract extension with the organization. The exact duration of the agreement remains undisclosed, but the renewal ensures that he will continue competing under the MOUZ banner for years to come.
xertioN first joined MOUZ on June 18, 2021, at just 16 years old, becoming part of the organization’s academy team. He played a crucial role in MOUZ NXT’s dominance in the WePlay Academy League, helping secure four titles before earning a promotion to the main roster on August 26, 2022. Since stepping up to the first team, he has contributed to multiple major achievements, including reaching the semi-finals at the PW Shanghai Major and securing victories at ESL Pro League Seasons 18 and 19, BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024, and PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025.
His performances throughout 2024 earned him a place among the year’s Top 20 Players for the first time, ranking 14th overall. This recognition came after narrowly missing the list in 2023, further solidifying his standing as one of the team’s key contributors.
Jan Dominicus, MOUZ’s Chief Business Development Officer, emphasized the significance of the renewal, stating that xertioN’s decision to extend his stay highlights the belief players have in the organization’s vision. He acknowledged that the rifler had drawn interest from several top-tier teams, making his long-term commitment a notable accomplishment for MOUZ. He also underlined the pride the organization takes in nurturing talent through its academy system, expressing confidence that MOUZ remains the best place for xertioN’s continued development and success.
The 20-year-old shared his enthusiasm about the renewed contract, stating that he is deeply appreciative of the opportunity to continue his journey with MOUZ. He expressed a strong desire to accomplish his personal ambitions and help the team push for even greater success in the future.
