MICHU steps in for Virtus in San Jose

18-11-2015 13:43

Virtus.pro have announced that they will field CSGL talent Michał "MICHU" Müller as a stand-in at IEM San Jose.

The former Gamers2 player will step into the shoes of Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski, who will stay at home due to a problem with his right eye, team coach Jakub "⁠kuben⁠" Gurczyński revealed on Facebook.

Snax will be rested for the event but is expected to make a full recovery in time for the FACEIT League Stage 3 finals, in Jönköping, from November 26-28.

Michał "⁠MICHU⁠" Müller is already in the United States as CSGL attended the RGN Pro Series Championship, in Santa Ana, California. Despite some strong performances from the 18-year-old, the team crashed out of the tournament in the group stage following defeats against Liquid and Games Academy.

MICHU steps in for Virtus.pro once again

This is the second time that MICHU fills in for Virtus.pro: back in March, he replaced Snax, also due to health issues, as the team attended Gfinity Spring Masters I, in London.

Virtus.pro will face G2 in the quarter-final stage of IEM San Jose, kicking off on Saturday. The team will attend the event with:

Filip "⁠NEO⁠" Kubski
Wiktor "⁠TaZ⁠" Wojtas
Paweł "⁠byali⁠" Bieliński
Jarosław "⁠pashaBiceps⁠" Jarząbkowski
Michał "⁠MICHU⁠" Müller (stand-in)

tier1 or tier2 what's the difference. A lot you moron -.-

2015-11-18 15:07

I wrote t3 and t4 not t1 and t2 - there you can see the difference teams from t3 (Vexed, CSGL) are pretty close to t4 teams (AliGon, PiTER, nerdRage or Games Academy rofl)

nerdRage a t4 team? i hope you mean maxandrelax, cus' nerdrage is pure trash

2015-11-18 15:15

I know what you wrote. But saying t3 has close to no difference from t4, is like saying t1 has close to no difference from t2. That's why you are a moron.

2015-11-18 15:20

ok ok whatever makes you happy

2015-11-18 15:26

You're making kind of a fool of yourself buddy^^

You are making stupid as comments, so if acting stupid suits you, go ahead.

2015-11-19 07:46

lol

GL MICHU

no snax = could be pretty much an easy loss

Confirmed -freak + snax -snax + Michu -Fugly + Freak

rip VP Not even the best stand-in possible imo.

true, but even with the best possible stand-in they would have no chances cuz Snax is their best player

they picked him because he is already in murica the thing is, we don't have better players xD Someday pasha, TaZ and NEO will retire and Polish cs will die. T4 teams like CSGL or t3 vexed. 'No chance my friend'

they could try szpero this guy is beast with awp, with him they could try double awp setup, or szpero awping and neo rifling or opposite etc. they have no chances vs g2 without snax anyways so, would be good time to test some things

2015-11-18 13:53

no room for tests in +125k lan MICHU played with them so they know how to setup him on a map

+1, but no double awp, neo and pasha are not that good with awp

2015-11-20 17:14

Yet Poland reached grand finals of The World Championships with no VP players in squad. There are certainly people with potential to replace VP players if they retire in Poland.

2015-11-18 17:40

ik sad but true story i might cry :( vp favorite team going to die out :( the thought of it alone makes my heart ache x(

2015-11-19 08:08

at least they got liquid not G2 :D

2015-11-19 08:56

There would be a chance IF they could try to make a lineup like in nations cup

2015-11-19 15:43

Why not SZPERO?

Yeah, i wonder why also

2015-11-18 14:06

coz szpero isn't in murica I guess and they already played with michu

2015-11-18 14:47

What? he is in USA with Lounge.gg, lol.

2015-11-18 14:51

cuz michu is already a member of virtus pro, and he will be always a stand-in

2015-11-18 15:31

michi very skilled player, may surprise :D

fak... best player is ill. gl

-TAZ +MICHU AND VP AGAIN PLOW

The Taz/Neo IGL works perfectly for VP and Michu will never pull the numbers Taz does on Train and Cache.

2015-11-18 16:52

no snax rip

Snax lan dodger again :D

He got something with his eyes.

Is that what jOELZ said too?

2015-11-18 15:33

retarded .. ? Read the reason why snax is out.. omg

2015-11-18 17:13

no snax? gg

rip snax :(

MICHU isn't bad but Szpero > MICHU

2015-11-18 13:54

poor snax

Well damn.

rip pasha

FUUUUUUUUU :(

okay.

no snax no chance my friend

should have been -pasha tho not snax

rip VP their best player gone

2015-11-18 13:59

-Pasha + Michu ---> VP no1 team confirmed

2015-11-18 14:01

pasha has been the only good performing player from vp in the last month

lol? last week and a half maybe, but they just played tier2 teams in that time for the most part. overall in vp for the past 3 months hes vps statistically worst player, for the year hes just ahead of taz. snax has been carrying vp for the past 4 months really hard. he has been performing like a top5 player recently, and without him vp wouldnt win any of their lans this year.

2015-11-18 14:34

Lost all train match vs G2 thank to mr pro streamer . Got rekt heavily by BOT Fox . Luckily i never bet on them vs t1 team

2015-11-18 15:09

why snax cant play ?

Read the article m9-1?

2015-11-18 14:05

noooh ;(

-toggle +toggle Kappa noKappa

rip eye :(

2015-11-18 14:07

he will shoot some goals i guess

2015-11-18 14:10

That explains why snax played like shit lately. Playing with one one is tough as fuck. I hope he gets well soon and that its nothing serious or permanent.

2015-11-18 14:21

snax eyes died because of too much jerking

no snax no party

2015-11-18 14:25

GO VIRTUS!

no snax = vp tier2

gl michu

2015-11-18 14:28

nt isis

2015-11-18 14:29

For snax? Those are some big shoes to fill. In more ways than gameplay.

2015-11-18 14:30

no snax no win

Based on skill alone only Michu and Innocent are right choice for VP but obviously CS need "good mental vibe". GL MICHU.

you clearly didnt watch michu&innocent games in past few months then, innocent currently isn't the same innocent from the first few months of the year

2015-11-18 14:45

5 replies

Teach me about Polish scene which I'm following for 10+ years. Innocent have huge potential and if You know something about Polish CS then You know I'm right. btw, I didn't said You are not right.

You are not right, SZPERO is much better than innocent and michu and he should play for vp instead of michu. Also, innocent isn't that good as he was 6 months ago.

2015-11-18 16:46

Szpero wasnt even close to be as good rifler as Innocent was/is. CS as any other team-game is about skill and chemistry, not skill alone. MICHU have it with all members of VP and They feel good with him. Just go play Tibia, Taifun and please, don't talk to me about Polish CS scene because I know more than You think. I know people I'm talking about. Have a nice day in Carlin.

2015-11-18 17:33

Who the fuck you are Julius? Taifun is right, szpero deserves for chance to shine in tier1

2015-11-18 17:43

Atm, szpero is better than innocent even with rifles i know what im talking about, believe me. Even oskarish is better than innocent right now.

I think VP needs good AWP, Neo is good but not best (JW best), I would want to see peet in VP

2015-11-18 14:49

I'm from Poland and I follow our scene for 10 years. Szpero has a better predisposition to be tier1 awper in the future.

peet isn't even an main awper in vexed now lol

2015-11-18 16:47

Snax broke his right eye from winking too much into the camera at lans:)

Forest should teach him some stuff then ;)

NOW G2 WILL RAPE THEM, michu is good but vp without snax isnt VP

rip snax - rip vp 11.18

pf. no chance without snax-carry.

michu german = hacks

2015-11-18 14:36

ez win now

2015-11-18 14:38

No Snax no party

2015-11-18 14:41

MICHU is super good.. this kid deserves better team where he can show his potential. I hope he'll show u guys how good he is at that event!

2015-11-18 14:50

great player, but... snax is snax

2015-11-18 15:35

rip vp, no chance without their main carry (

2015-11-18 15:36

It should have been Pasza to be absent. Then Snax , Taz , byali , michu , neo

2015-11-18 15:42

Snax won't be kicked. I expect Pasha to be replaced if he doesn't improve soon.

2015-11-18 15:58

LoL if Snax gets kicked I'm gonna stop watching any more pro matches.

2015-11-18 16:21

He already improved Check his last stats, he is 2nd best VP player now. byali and taz need to step up. Especially byali.

2015-11-18 17:37

Pasha lately is slightly better, but in 2014 he was much stronger. Byali is in my opinion almost always on the same level.

2015-11-18 18:25

Not really byali is underperforming in 2015

2015-11-19 01:08

lol at first I read MAKKU :D

2015-11-18 16:05

Don't worry Pasha will carry

yeah now i understand why it's sad news if it was pasha that would be the greatest news ever

They have literally 0% chance to win this tournament now. btw. It's pretty obvious that they will bring him to the lineup for good at some point.
