According to the mousesports site gore has gotten ill and will return home but he will also stay there when he gets better because of personal reasons. He is however not kicked from Mousesports and neither will he leave, instead he will play for them in the coming EPS season.
Of course a replacement is now needed for mousesports to compete in the WEG and thus they have been searching for a good player who is available to travel to Korea, at the moment they have not yet announced the player but when its all set in stone you can read it on their site first.
Here is the official statement from mouz|django :The last few weeks it slowly became clear that Franz would look to return home eventhough our results at WeG were very satisfying. To make sure we aren't kicked out of the tournament we have spent the last 2 days looking for an adequate replacement and we also hope to have found a very good one. When all the details have been worked out we shall announce the new player and hope he will support us with succes during the tournament
The new player has been announced and it is Hare from united5, he will just fill in for gore and will play for mouz in Korea during the WEG season after that he will return to the States and continue with united5. This is a huge pickup and it will be interesting to see how this team will perform with now 2 substitutes after Roman earlier gave forfeit for the Korea trip and papst had to join.
"This morning I was approached by Blizzard from Mousesports who is currently in Korea competing with his team in the WEG event. Because of Mousesports' recent loss of Gore, Blizzard gave me the opportunity of a life time to play with the team in the remaining WEG Counter-Strike Tournament. I immediately accepted the offer, for this is one of the greatest honors and privileges that I have faced in my gaming career thus far.
I will still be the leader of United 5's Counter-Strike division, and involved in the management while in Korea and upon my return. As of right now the division is obviously going through re-structuring, but I have an extremely large amount of confidence in the options available to us as a CS team and as an organization.
However this opportunity to travel to Korea is something that comes along once in a lifetime, and is something I will not be passing up. I am greatly honored that Mousesports would consider me one of their best options in the world. My plane leaves tomorrow and I will arrive in Korea to soak in the experience of living in Korea for a month and competing in an international tournament with some of the best teams and players. A chance to do something like this has been a goal and dream of mine for quite some time.
Wish myself and Mousesports the best of luck in the tournament, and I really look to the community for support for I will be working to overcome the language barrier and playing as a fragger instead of a strategic leader."
