Virtus.pro sign two year extensions

30-11-2014 21:22

Virtus.pro have signed two-year contract extensions with their CS:GO squad, believed to be the most expensive contracts in Counter-Strike history.

The Polish squad started 2014 off with a major championship by winning EMS One Katowice in a legendary run in front of the Polish home crowd for a $100,000 check.

Since then their results have been inconsistent, but they have managed to win Gfinity 3 in early August, and made top four at DreamHack Winter before losing to NiP.

Neo and company will remain under the Virtus.pro flag for a long time

This move means Virtus.pro clearly believe in CS:GO as a game, as they have on their Facebook page dubbed the contracts probably the most expensive in CS history.

We contacted the Polish team's captain Wiktor "⁠TaZ⁠" Wojtas for a quick statement regarding their decision to sign two-year extensions with their Russian organization:

"We are extremely happy that we will be able to continue our journey in esports with Virtus.pro for next 2 years. It is something really special for us to have stable and strong organisation that allows us to focus only on what we love: gaming," Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas told HLTV.org.

"We feel here like home, and want to help VP to grow and achieve more success. My special thanks go to Anton Cherepennikov, for again putting a trust in our team

"It is a huge step for us, and for esports."

Virtus.pro will next travel to Dallas to take part in the $47,500 ESEA Invite Season 17 Global Finals, set to take place on December 5-7 with fnatic, Titan and mouz in attendance.

To have interest and to have money is not the same. Maybe there will be more money in polish esport at another time. Having a PRO team cost a lot of money :-)

not Poland but 1/3 of it. Russians cooped with Austrians and Prussians to take their part by force.

2014-12-01 00:12

Too much agression,boy. Calm down. VP as organisation gave to this squad confidence in their future day. I think that is more important instead any political views.E-sport must be out of politics.

2014-12-01 02:01

Actually You were in "soviet jail" Russia has never been Communists and never owned poland. :D

2014-12-01 02:49

Sadly polish organisations focusing at shit LoL and Dota or World of Tanks... CS:GO is not under the intrests because best 5 players are already in some organisation so...

2014-12-01 01:07

Poland has strong history with Russia(in terms of culture, army and all other areas) so this is similar.

2014-12-01 06:31

We don't have organisation who pay a lot of money how Virtus Pro . Our country have only big organisation in Fifa , League of Legends etc., , ;/

Let's be honest, if Ryan Giggs can play top level football until he is 40, CS players can do that at least. Growing older doesn't have that much impact on your ability to play cs, especially at 30! The only reason they might retire at that age is wanting new challenges, other commitments e.g. family etc.

2014-11-30 21:31

23 replies

The problem is its not long term, i mean CSGO is still young and will probably go growing and it still has better salaries than 1.6 but its very hard to make a career out of it, in the other hand Ryan Giggs got thousand of pounds a week.

Some people said that living cost in poland isnt that expensive so maybe the salary would suit them just fine. I dont meant that in a long-term scenario though.

Yea, but 30 isnt that old xD I'm 25 and I know alot of people older than me (30+) that are in better shape and probably have better reflexes than me

2014-11-30 21:42

maybe in 50s, the best goalies in footbal and hockey (u need the best reactions) are ~26-36 years old

2014-11-30 21:58

Is there scientific proof about this? I heard lurppis saying that its a myth and science couldn't prove it.

2014-11-30 22:35

Sure it does. But then you just have to reconsider your role in the team and make sure you don't have to rely on your reactions as a primary way to succeed. Of course you'll still need pretty decent reflexes but let the heavy hitters front and use your skill in other aspects of the game.

2014-11-30 22:43

I can say yes to that since i'm 50 years old :-)

2500 euros NiP

2014-11-30 21:42

NiP made around $500 000 from this year's three majors alone. Then comes the minor event prize purses and the piles of sponsorship dough that comes with having the biggest fan base both domestically and internationally. I'm pretty sure they're swimming in cash over at their countryside headquarters.

Didn't each legendeary team get like 107.000dollar or something or was that for all the teams? + they also won 1 major and came second on 3. Thats about 350.000, Not included the stickers from the other 3 majors or all the other events they attended. Im not sure and have no numbers but if you think about it 500.000 might not be to far away. ^^

I would assume it would be close to that yeah? if the rumors are true and each player got 50k from every major in sticker money then surely the total would be close to the 500k mark..

2014-11-30 22:31

$17 500 from Katowice: hltv.org/news/12836-the-stickeronomics-o.. ) $110 000 from Cologne: vakarm.net/news/read/Les-stickers-rappor.. $110 000 from DH (probably a conservative estimate) = $237 500 So my initial estimate was a bit off, but $440 000 isn't that far away.

2014-11-30 21:55

nice! I'm curious to see how long neo, taz and pasha will play, because for byali and snax it's just one year in top.

i think they ll not retire before forest and gtr to stay as the best players ever (the most major titles and the longest on the top)

Polish people don't hate Russian people, in fact most see them as victims of the regime. There are exceptions of course, im talking in general. As far as Germany is concerned, the denazification could have played a role. Plus, some time has passed.

2014-11-30 22:07

After this year, G5 and VP are synonime, great move. We are waiting for a intruduction of coach.

2014-11-30 22:08

:-)

2014-11-30 22:09

I am curious who the coach will be too. Even after losing to NiP I consider this a great tournament for VP. Need to maybe put a little more work into T strats and keep the nerves low in game. Excellent 2 year investment for VP

2014-11-30 22:09

congrats to VP members!

2014-11-30 22:12

nice,gl to virtus.pro!!!

2014-11-30 22:19

Great! VP was looking very promising and they performed almost perfectly until they choked against NiP. And like TaZ said on ESEA interview, he didn't feel like they were outperformed. And I agree. At the end they just couldn't win and it is tough game.

2014-11-30 22:19

Good they deserve it.

after all of those years, moving from one orga to another, playing with no banner, you guys deserve it!

2014-11-30 22:35

Wow, thats awesome. Thats a big commitment to make, anyway hope for some more epic shows from the polish squad, always enjoy watching those guys.

2014-11-30 22:39

very good

2014-11-30 22:42

Legends. Taz and Neo unless playing together 12 years and all the time at the highest level. Good luck :)

2014-11-30 22:42

Congrats on the new contract G3! People wanting taz removed: 1- He made the strats for this lan and they played with great tactics. 2- He was their best player on ESWC 3- Neo has been performing the worst among the team nevertheless byali needs to step up so because snax can't keep carrying alone. IF guardian speaks polish or if polish & slovak are close languages, i hope to see guardian play with the G5. Because sNax can't continue to entry frag they need him late game because neo is not that good anymore to be the late game player, so someone has to step down for this to happen and it can't be snax/byali/pasha.

2014-11-30 23:20

Nice to hear and good news! :D

2014-11-30 23:05

Although they are legends in cs history (no doubt), this dhw showed that neo was not the same neo we used to watch and we expect. Against NiP, he didn't make any critical tactical mistakes it seemed but he almost lost all the duals and reveals that he shouldn't be relied on. Neo was the idol for most of us years ago but now he isn't any better than low-bracket players unfortunately. But this is great news indeed, i'm sure now they feel comfortable and dedicated more than ever.

2014-11-30 23:09

What's the contract value?

finally neo, pasha and taz have what they wanted for many years...

2014-12-01 00:38

Great news for them! Been a fan since they were Pentagram G-Shock back in the day, oh man the amount of orgs they've went through is nuts, even more nuts is how little they've changed the roster compared to orgs over such a long period.

2014-12-01 00:38

Moreover they had never had stable organisation before now, for more than half a year. I'm so happy that after 7 years they can truly focus on their game :)

2014-12-01 05:19

2014-12-01 05:20

good but they shouldn't sign with NEO. they need the fifth talent boy. You're welcome. Polish guys who cant have unprejudiced eyes.

That's what noone is going to tell you. It's a real secret - ppl don't disclose such things.

2014-12-01 10:50

neo taz pasha &co are respectable figures in cs history unlike those cheating basterdards of fnatic csgo squad who are destroying "fnatic" reputation accumulated by f0rest dsn and carn etc. If fnatic really wants to clear their name, the hackers must be eliminated and permantly banned.
