Player history
Berman initiated his professional path in the lower tiers of competitive Counter-Strike, gaining early experience with teams such as KPI Gaming in 2020. His potential was identified by the MOUZ organization, leading to his acquisition by their academy project, MOUZ NXT, in June 2021. The academy system proved highly beneficial for his development, allowing him to gain structural discipline and competitive resilience.
In August 2022, his consistent output earned him a promotion to the main MOUZ roster. Competing at the highest tier, he developed a reputation for his high damage output and aggressive entry fragging. He played a direct role in securing several trophies, including ESL Pro League Season 19 and BBD Belgrade 2024.
The 2026 season marked a significant structural change for Berman. In May 2026, he officially transitioned into the role of in-game leader for MOUZ. Despite the demanding responsibilities of captaining a tier-one roster, he has maintained a high level of individual performance. Head coach Dennis “sycrone” Nielsen has publicly confirmed the organization’s long-term commitment to Berman as their tactical leader moving forward.
