pasha: NiKo wants to be Rambo of CS

19-2-2017 01:50

Following Virtus.pro advancing to semi-finals at DreamHack Masters Las Vegas, Jarosław "pashaBiceps" Jarząbkowski gave us his thoughts on Virtus.pro's journey thus far and what lies ahead.

The group stage saw Virtus.pro edging Misfits and falling short to Gambit on Cobblestone, before the Poles advanced to quarter-finals with a one-sided affair against fnatic.

Jarosław "⁠pashaBiceps⁠" Jarząbkowski's side took down MOUZ on their way to semis, with Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač wreaking havoc on Mirage but to no avail.

We asked pashaBiceps about Virtus.pro's matches, dealing with the Bosnian star, as well as his preference between Ninjas in Pyjamas and Astralis for semi-finals:

In case you missed some of our previous interviews at DreamHack Masters Las Vegas, here is a list:

Day three

Jacob "⁠pyth⁠" Mourujärvi: "Cache got decided early"

Mathias "⁠MSL⁠" Lauridsen: "Banana needs changing"

Day two

Tomáš "⁠oskar⁠" Šťastný: "I'm here to do some damage"

Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth: "I think fnatic will do well"

Björn "⁠THREAT⁠" Pers: "Inferno still plays kinda the same"

Day one

Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen: "It would be fun to play NiKo"

Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo: "felps has a special skillset"

Dauren "⁠AdreN⁠" Kystaubayev: "We're confident on Inferno"

Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin: "I've never played this much"

2017-02-19 02:01

When are they going to test him for doping? Hes so high he cant fucking stop moving... This guy was a fucking dead weight for over a year and now all of sudden hes playing like hes young again? No fucking way i dont buy it. Seriously.

15 replies

he was always like this, even when being completely shit :v also there is testing for doping at every event now

14 replies

Idk man.. it doesnt seem right. Its not like he was shit for just a couple of tournaments, he was shit for over a year.. and for the past months out of nowhere hes so good again, so reliable.

2017-02-19 02:11

hardly he's not even that good, or consistent look at stats and dont listen to thorin or whoever, analysts like him are trying to build storylines for hype, and often they exaggerate... he was good vs north at the major and ok here so far imo it's taz who became really good since cologne last year and that's what made vp 'good' but no one talks about that...

2017-02-19 02:14

Its that cuz neo has become igl, imo.

2017-02-19 02:50

Neo became IGL in January 2016. It took them a while to adapt.

2017-02-19 06:38

not really pasha is stepped up if you deny it than you are blind. And the point with TaZ is true he is so good since a while

2017-02-19 11:36

yeah ofc he stepped up but he's not consistent and not a 'superstar' like analysts would have you think like yesterday thorin said Mouse has NiKo and oskar but VP has Snax and Pasha lol

2017-02-19 14:15

did you ever watch interview with him in 2010? he was so nervous and shy he could barely speak, and in the game aswell his crosshair was often shaking from stress, he wasn't always like this

2017-02-19 02:28

wut

look at this, he is so shy he can't stop touching his face youtube.com/watch?v=et5wJ1436HQ he had problems with stress in game for the first few months after joining G5 for sure, there are interviews where he talked about it, just saying he wasn't always cocky

2017-02-19 02:32

yeah, that's what i was saying

2017-02-19 02:33

regardles what you were saying, IMO in 2009/10 he had the biggest problems handling stress in the pro scene, now he is the cockiest guy in the scene, amazing how he changed

2017-02-19 02:37

he is just being funny, not really cocky imo :v

2017-02-19 02:38

agree

2017-02-19 06:13

Yeah pasha remind me so much about my older brother Its almost disturbingly similar. Both speak bad English and communicate exactly like pasha, with winks and smiles and moving because they're nervous but still wnna look cool in character

2017-02-19 03:14

"they come some day, we kill em"

Best interview ever

15 cevlar in body he is truly funny

pasha on coke

2017-02-19 02:05

2017-02-19 22:06

100% braindead polish. jesus christ.

niko good, but not best (jw best)

niko good, but not best(papa best)

2017-02-19 02:16

papa stop roids!

HAHAHAH he is so funny

2017-02-19 02:17

so many kids speaking about he's taking something e.g.coke xD first of all he's just like he regular is. Check out interviews from 2014 or even before. Other than that, you don't move like a crack whore and jiggle all the time because of some blow.. newfags and little kids who speak out of their asses again. GG hltv

just side effects of being polish

2017-02-19 02:21

dont fight with papa Kappa

Good to know you understand a joke

2017-02-19 08:57

I've seen him in 2014 as well, and being a user myself, I was 100% undoubtedly sure he was high as fuck on speed. I was waiting for him to give an interview after his recent return to form, and here it is again. Pasha needs massive doses of amphetamine to do well, and he sure as fucks uses it.

2017-02-19 19:32

so you think hes on speed/amph/coca almost every day (cause he streams hyperactive like that as well) while beeing highly functional within his work, peers (dont u think one of the other guys would try to stop him), beeing a father, doing sports and a role model to thousand of fans? xD i know a lot of using people, none of them gets this much of shit done for as long as you indicate pasha did =/

2017-02-19 19:46

When was the last time he streamed? 2 years ago? Also, he wasn't jittery at all during the time he played like crap. Long enough for a detox. Anyway, using amphetamine, even daily, isn't something that I'd consider intolerable for teammates, and could be easily hidden from family, especially if they don't suspect such a thing for you and don't know the symptoms. It's not even a major health hazard. 80mg amphetamine pills are routinely prescribed to ADHD patients. Snorting one or two tenths of a g before every important game isn't anything dangerous.

2017-02-19 20:14

fair enough points made towards a possible clean time during most of the time last year. i wouldnt think of it as intolerable either, painting the cirumstances you made. but i doubt there are a lot of people out there who really restrict to consume a specific amount. most slowly prograde to consume more up to the point obvious symptons show themselfes and have to stop/detox/reduce or surroundings/habits/"friends" change. i still kinda doubt that hes really into amphs due to his healhty lifestyle. snorting some before an important matchup could be possible, but still wouldnt explain his overall hyperactive/clowny behaviour he used to have the last couple of years overall, considering he wasnt using on daily basis. i have no doubts a lot of pros are or used to get prescribed ritalin e.g. in na. still, there have been a lot of remarks since summer 2015 and c9s short run, which stated, that there were tests taken at higher level tournaments. edit: the twitch clip is kinda hypnotic of his own, cause neither the cameraman, nor the background nor mantursse stopped moving. this kinda emphasized pashas behaviour, besides maybe some natural dopamin after winning in a strong fashion etc.

2017-02-19 23:24

scared of astralis !

2017-02-19 02:25

The amount of fake flagger shitlocks in this thread jesus.

2017-02-19 05:39

He's probably nervous because he is trying really hard to make sense in english, it's not coke or anything. It happens often when you don't have amazing english skills like all the HLTV'ers(O B V I O U S L Y)

2017-02-19 06:16
