Player MOUZ in Dota 2, Melchior " Seleri " Hillenkamp, reached out on his X account following the team's poor performances in the qualifiers for two key tournaments of the season — Esports World Cup 2025 and The International 2025.

In his post, Seleri shared the emotions and thoughts that overwhelmed him after a series of defeats:

Rough times when you try but you don't reach what you set out to reach. Easy to have regret for even trying in the first place when you failed. But that is why most of us feel paralyzed in life.

Just try, if it doesn't work out, you don't need to have regret. Peace

If a loser can have wise words, I hope these are. If it helps you move on from the hardsips in your life just a tiny bit, then I wrote it for someone besides myself.

Really enjoyed the games, sad we couldn't even close out the last one with a nice lead, life can be tough!

His words came across as an attempt to support not only himself but also those facing difficulties in life or career. Despite the losses, the player demonstrates a deep understanding of the situation and tries to find meaning even in painful experiences.

As a reminder, MOUZ took 3rd place in the closed qualifiers for the Esports World Cup 2025, narrowly missing a spot in the tournament. In the European regional qualifiers for The International 2025, the team placed 9th-10th, leaving them without a chance at the year's main tournament.
