MOUZ Promotes Moscow Tournament Hosted by Russian Streamer StRoGo

MOUZ has come under scrutiny after promoting a tournament hosted by Russian streamer StRoGo through its official social media channels. The organization encouraged fans to watch the event and shared a link to the tournament's official broadcast.

According to the post, the tournament features several well-known streamers and former professional players. The event is being held in Moscow, with MOUZ publicly directing its audience to the competition despite the ongoing international isolation affecting many Russian sporting and esports events following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

At the time of writing, MOUZ has not explained why it decided to promote the tournament or issued any public statement regarding the post.

The promotion has also renewed attention on the organization's previous connections to Russia. In recent years, many international esports organizations have distanced themselves from Russian events or ended partnerships with Russian entities. MOUZ, however, continues to be sponsored by a Russian bookmaker and has previously faced criticism after publishing social media content featuring Matryoshka dolls.
