Kinguin add trio to ESEA roster

11-3-2018 23:27

Kinguin have strengthened their ESEA squad with the additions of Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas, Jacek "MINISE" Jeziak and Paweł "reatz" Jańczak.

The move all but confirms that Kinguin are about to revamp their Counter-Strike squad, as reported by Flickshot.fr earlier this month.

Wiktor "⁠TaZ⁠" Wojtas has been looking for a new challenge since being benched by Virtus.pro, who signed Michał "⁠MICHU⁠" Müller from Kinguin on a short-term loan. As for Jacek "⁠MINISE⁠" Jeziak and Paweł "⁠reatz⁠" Jańczak, they join from PRIDE, with whom they most recently won the Legends Cup, in Santa Ana.

TaZ is now part of Kinguin's ESEA roster

It is believed that Ricardo "⁠fox⁠" Pacheco and Christopher "⁠MUTiRiS⁠" Fernandes have reached the end of the road in Kinguin, with the Portuguese duo leaving the team without attending a single event.

Kinguin are currently at the wrong end of the table in ESEA MDL, albeit with only two matches played so far - a 16-8 defeat to Sprout and a 16-5 victory over DIVIZON.

The Polish team's reported new lineup will look as follows:

Karol "⁠rallen⁠" Rodowicz
Mikołaj "⁠mouz⁠" Karolewski
Wiktor "⁠TaZ⁠" Wojtas
Jacek "⁠MINISE⁠" Jeziak
Paweł "⁠reatz⁠" Jańczak

Ignoring the fact that they were both in the original g5, and that they are adults that should not be affected by things that happeened over 4 years ago (if anything happened), yeah, they will totally ruin the team because they "don't add up".

2018-03-12 00:16

Did Loord ever comment about the aftermath?

2018-03-12 04:43

I heard that they still hate eachother tho.

2018-03-12 00:19

Innocent reject invite from kinguin

lol innocent is the most overrated player in the world. 2,4 adr vs navi #stillremember

Gl to the legend Wiktor " 4Head " Tazmanian, probly still better than VP

2018-03-11 23:30

shit team

can't be worse than G2 and VP

ok your point :D

Typical german....

2018-03-12 04:46

almost forgot this org :D

sick ;D

"taz was always last when you pressed tab" :(

XD tier 3

minise ? reatz ? What the fuck are you doing kinguin ? You remove szpero and later get minise ? Why ? And reatz ? Is there really noone better ?

24 replies

I wished it was morelz and szpero but minise and reatz are still fine

2018-03-11 23:34

They don't have much talent around to replace reatz with, i get it. Atleast he seems to be better than kap3r. You're right morelz would be better. Minise I don't get it, why would they pick him over Szpero, he's like worse in every aspect of the game... + Morelz is a backup player, he'd be cheaper than reatz, and Szpero is owned by Kinguin, he's their player, why are they buying minise???

He was about to join Sprout with innocent, no idea why didnt work out on The end

2018-03-12 05:04

Probably not a good enough team for him. Him and innocent are really close friends tho

2018-03-12 20:34

tbh it's better than any polish team which would want szpero

2018-03-12 20:37

It might be better, but it's not by a big margin. And I don't think having to move to another country and speaking in English would be worth it. There are numerous players in Poland that are a lot better than Spiidi and hell, even Hyper is a better IGL than Krystal. denis is a lot more experienced than any non-VP Polish player, but on the other hand, Szpero is miles ahead of natosaphix.

2018-03-12 20:39

1. Except for bootcamps Sprout are living normally in their houses so it's not a problem. 2. Good point, i heard szpero's english isn't so good. 3.(It's a big "What if szpero would join Sprout") Except VP guys innocent is the best polish support and he already in that team. Szpero can IGL if he wants so then they can just kick krystal and get decent 2nd awp. And rumours were before natosaphix so 1st awp is done.

2018-03-12 20:52

I think if innocent and Szpero formed a new team, they could get better teammates than denis, spiidi, krystal and natosaphix/zehn. People like morelz, LUZ, even Hyper if Szpero wanted to focus only on AWP, kap3r isn't that good but he had his experience in Kinguin as well, lots of people, and they'd be speaking Polish and bootcamping in Poland, they could make a team to compete against AGO for Polish #1 team

2018-03-12 20:56

That's right, but innocent looks fine in Sprout (he just rejected Kinguin)

2018-03-12 21:29

Szpero to vp with morelz for pasha and neo

2018-03-12 07:05

reatz and minise is the best from this team

2018-03-12 18:56

reatz is actually pretty good minise on the other hand I don't get since he's not that good

2018-03-11 23:39

11 replies

I believe minise is gonna be IGL and AWPer in this team

Szpero is way better and he's also an igl. Plus, he's kinguin's player, while minise costs them money..

Sorry, pasha said on stream that he's a pro streamer, so he's likely being replaced on VP by szpero who will also take the IGL role away from Neo. If that's the case, minise makes sense.

2018-03-12 00:10

szpero wants to be fulltime awp and not igl

2018-03-12 00:11

If VP said "You come here and IGL over Neo" he'd never reject xD

2018-03-12 00:22

Carry potter is just dumb he talks bs like this all the time

2018-03-12 11:01

taz need to be igl otherwise he will be useless

2018-03-12 00:35

Minise used to carry PRIDE hard

Oh really? I can't really say I know much about him, I only watched some of his games and he looked kind of mediocre, but if overall he's a good player then the move makes sense to me

2018-03-12 00:58

I really like the guy, shame he's toxic a bit :D

2018-03-12 13:19

Ooo, that would suck if he got kicked for being toxic

2018-03-12 22:13

szpero for pasha soon

2018-03-12 01:31

GL Kinguin Hope FOX and MUT have a good future!

They suck bro they should just retire they never went to a single event throughout their career with Kinguin

2018-03-11 23:35

??? fox yes but mutiris is fucking insane

2018-03-12 00:02

who's better than him from pt

hltv.org/matches/2320156/kinguin-vs-prid.. you see their aquisitions and tell me. Only explanation is that Taz wants a full polish lineup to reduce comunication problems.

2018-03-11 23:46

so they destroyed PRIDE right? for what? PRIDE had decent chance of winning ESEA this season or even to be promoted to EPL

2018-03-11 23:47

sick :D Can't wait to see if TaZ can make this a real team. I'd rather like -minise +szpero tbh

2018-03-11 23:55

I do hope TaZ bounces back. I'm gonna follow Kinguin's games. Let's see.

2018-03-11 23:54

NICE!

tier 3 max

-mouz" -MINISE" -reatz" +shox +friberg +Xizt

Xizt now maybe in fnatic XD

2018-03-12 06:37

TaZ is star player of this team.

2018-03-11 23:56

They kicking their best two players for bots and washed up player wow I know language was an issue but they somewhat seem to know what they were doing in matches I saw.

You forgot to put portuguese flag?

2018-03-12 00:27

As expected, this lineup never had a future. Excited to see what Taz will do. I dont think he was VP main problem, as we can see, they are even worse than before. Taz adds too much value to any team he is in. But i dont see much future to this team either, too many average players, maybe t3 at best.

2018-03-12 00:29

i am not sure about change szpero to minise, but both are at very high level, will be nice if rallen gonna be a second awp

2018-03-12 00:31

2018-03-12 00:50

trash buc again?

2018-03-12 00:55

2018-03-12 01:09

lets goo

2018-03-12 01:27

good luck Kinguin and 742 :)))))

2018-03-12 01:30

Let's fucking go!!!!!!!!!!!

2018-03-12 01:36

poor tugas, who are they going to overrate now?

2018-03-12 02:12

(expect an horde of Portuguese fans to follow every single match this team ever play, and they will bash and flame Kinguin on every defeat, blaming them for having kicked the PT duo, just like they did when FaZe replaced fox with allu, and we still see PT fans cursing FaZe to date) Interesting move to bring TaZ.

2018-03-12 02:17

hltv.org/matches/2320156/kinguin-vs-prid..

Ohh, maybe u could post a match when loord nad more frags than mut

2018-03-12 11:49

#165 maybe you could see a trend in recent matches instead of watching just one. Or even better you could actually watch a kinguin match and see for yourself the role mut had on T and how much he swapped on CT because things were not working Edit: and the fact that this match was vs the players replacing them is just nice to set the example

2018-03-12 11:58

and u r as well posting one match ): anyway wish that fox and mut will get a good team, maybe some team with lowel etc :D

2018-03-12 12:10

gl to new Kinguin ... Godfox hope u get a new team along with mut

2018-03-12 02:31

gl guys, I hope you will be better than vp

2018-03-12 02:41

That moment when your star player is TAZ... LMFAO

2018-03-12 03:09

Can't wait to see kinguin vs VP

2018-03-12 03:41

better than vp xD

2018-03-12 04:18

Good luck to Kinguin! Hope to see if they will have success

2018-03-12 04:36

they won't be any better than the previous meme lineup

2018-03-12 05:00

They sure as well wont have better players with this switches, but they might have better sinergy and they will be speaking their primary language, time wil tell if its a good move or not. I would like to see fox and mut playing with taz tho

2018-03-12 05:08

+1 the comms will definitely be better, but they're super limited by the caliber of their players. maybe they can do well in random online tourneys, that's it

2018-03-12 05:25

Limited? Have you seen rallen play? Mouz and Minise are sick as well

2018-03-12 07:09

Wtf... lol Fox just needs better than this s*** Kinguin to be fair... he and Rallen were a good duo but yeah sadly they just separate them, and for this... omfg
