Virtus.pro bench TOAO

25-3-2019 13:06

Mateusz "⁠TOAO⁠" Zawistowski has stepped down from Virtus.pro's active line-up, the CIS-based organisation announced on Monday.

The Polish team will be trialing several players over the next weeks, the first being PACT member Kamil "⁠Sobol⁠" Sobolewski, who will be playing for the squad in the upcoming GG.BET Sydney Invitational, with Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski taking over as in-game leader.

This will be the second time that Snax will be calling the shots for Virtus.pro. The first lasted approximately five months in 2017 and ended with him criticizing his teammates for taking issue with his loose style.

TOAO moved to the bench as results failed to improve

TOAO has been on Virtus.pro's books since December 2018, when the team underwent a complete overhaul after replacing three players, including legendary duo Filip "⁠NEO⁠" Kubski and Jarosław "⁠pashaBiceps⁠" Jarząbkowski. But results have failed to improve under the leadership of the former AGO player, with the team currently sitting 56th in the rankings.

"As our CS:GO roster's performance have failed to meet our expectations, we have made this decision together with the players," Virtus.pro General Manager Roman Dvoryankin said in a statement.

"We will announce our future plans after Charleroi Esports."

It is currently unclear whether Sobol, who was part of the MIKSTURA side that competed in the closed qualifier for the most recent Europe Minor, will be Virtus.pro's fifth player at Charleroi Esports. The Belgian event will run from April 12-14 and will have over $110,000 up for grabs.

Virtus.pro currently have:

Michał "⁠MICHU⁠" Müller
Michał "⁠snatchie⁠" Rudzki
Paweł "⁠byali⁠" Bieliński
Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski

Mateusz "⁠TOAO⁠" Zawistowski (benched)

Jakub "⁠kuben⁠" Gurczyński (coach)

He said on his stream that he didn't like the Russian org and he never wants to play for it (possibly VP). He also have hinted that he wants to go with international roster or at least something close to it ;)

Taz plays mediocre in devils.one, neo and pasha played dreamhack qualifier and lost to 5 unknown player mix with pasha playing like a bot, neo played for heroic and sucked. Snax and Byali had argue with old squad. Pasha said on stream that instead of changing Taz they should have changed Snax and Byali and find new youngsters, Snax said instead of kicking snax they should have kicked Neo/Pasha. In current VP michu and snatchie are playing great, Byali and snax are slowly regaining their form, and Sobol is biggest polish talent right now, maybe he will start badly but with some time he can become a star.

2019-03-25 14:22

Ok chill I was just memeing

maybe innocent could be 2nd in the list of tryouts?

2019-03-25 16:27

2019-03-25 17:51

disband next

good decision, TOAO is weak.

Yeah he is weak VP needs strength +pashabiceps

2019-03-25 13:12

Spot on :)

2019-03-25 13:24

LET'S GO VP

Because going with FaZe approach makes sense - more firepower, bring it on. What a bunch of tools.

To be fair, virtus.pro have looked like a random mdl pug team

2019-03-25 13:14

They actually looked good on some maps already - train, nuke, sometimes cache.

2019-03-25 13:15

They were definitely improving, but they weren't playing to their "expectations"

Will they ever though? I mean, look at ENCE - they needed 2 stable years to reach tier 2 level.

2019-03-25 13:26

Ence org>Vp org. Virtus.Pro has an "legacy" they want to uphold. Ence just wants to grind it out

2019-03-25 13:30

good point. winning is about mentality

Toao was an ok IGL but bad aimer, and in todays cs everyone needs to represent some individual skill and since Snax is not bad IGL too its a good decision to add firepower. Im pretty sure snax was already helping toao.

2019-03-25 14:29

Not true. This ence lineup was formed about a year ago.

2019-03-25 14:33

Get innocent

wtf

LUL VIRTUS PRO WHY NOT TAKE TAZ BACK ? LMFAO

taz at least winning something with his team, why downgrade? only cuz of salary?

Bring back old vp astralis era over

Old vp is TOO OLD, Astralis is still relatively young squad, Taz is not even best player in devils.one.

2019-03-25 14:31

But he is the brain of devils.one. There is no better IGL in Poland than TaZ right now. Nor washed-up NEO, neither underperfoming TOAO.

2019-03-25 17:55

Ofc cuz of salary, both teams are shit anyway

2019-03-25 13:18

Taz said that devils.one is his last lineup

2019-03-25 13:34

TaZ has his own org. No chance of going to any other team

2019-03-25 13:36

I thought there was some conflict between Taz and some of VP players

2019-03-25 14:06

- 1 buy out too high and VP does not want to waste too much money... they already bought back snax from mouz

2019-03-25 16:19

pasha plz cum beck

disband the polish team and sign with MIBR lineup. actually, both are the same

" Janusz "Snax" Pogorzelski taking over as in-game leader." Hello darkness my old friend...

Haha so true. Snax still thinks that his level is like in 2014-2015...

should just disband

Finally, now VP can win something. Or... actually no, they don't. PL cs ded cs

welcome innocent

Holyshit :-o

its as if last time snax IGL worked..

Last time old guys refused to adapt maybe now without old guys it will work

2019-03-25 14:00

innocent furlan Luz better options than this noob SOBOLUL

Exus would be good imo. Young and talented.

2019-03-25 13:28

I disagree. He might be inexperienced but I seen him playing a few times and it looked very promising. He feels most complete player out of all new polish talents. He can clutch, he can entry, he's got good comms, he's not cocky, etc. TOAO made sense only as IGL, if team decided that he is not leading good enough then there's no point keeping him as fragger when there is at least 10 better individually players out here in Poland..

2019-03-25 14:47

nt sobol

2019-03-25 15:32

nt gla1ve, already afraid to lose #1 spot when I join?

Please, sign TaZ and rallen Virtus.pro needs those 2 if they want to do anything, hell they could probably use more of devils.one because the teams just damn well far better than they are besides MICHU.

No devils.one should stay like it is. Also Snatchie is the best player of V.P but byali and MICHU are good too. (Especially byali's aim rn).

2019-03-25 13:27

MICHU is the best player in Virtus.pro right now, he's the only consistent one. rallen would be better than Snatchie, although you could keep both potentially, I am of the opinion there are better players than byali and Snax out there, they just lack the same name value.

2019-03-25 13:35

just disband

VIRTUS.LUL

imo byali and snax is the problem.. snakes..

-left from ago to go to vp - have no results at tournaments - ago 2nd place at wesg without him - benched from vp - skipped Charleroi esports Fellsbadman

Toao was not playing for ago long before he joined VP. What are you on about?

Oh, really? Sorry, my bad

2019-03-25 13:22

Yeah, he was benched for 2 months in ago before joining VP.

He did in the first squad, then he got Benched.

deseved

Who? Well, I know Sobol for sure, but never heard of 'Virtus.pro"!? Is this some kind of semi professional team?

It's Vireo.pro academy m8

Inb4 trialing NEO

2019-03-25 13:17

BOT TOAO

papa back

2019-03-25 13:19

Anyway VP is dead

snax ego > snax weight

PlusOne

Thats damn truth. Snax destroyed old VP, stfu

2019-03-25 21:53

This won't help

they ruined his career, i rememeber he had good results before vp picked him from AGO

Actually, he didn't play in AGO when VP picked him, he was benched

TOAO should stay. If someone would need to be changed it would be Snax.

The drop is unreal in his performance

Ago results after him leaving >>>

lol nope, i mean the ago with snatchie and TOAO. they won esea season and placed 2nd at WESG 2017 (correct me if i am wrong)

finnaly add someone who can actually frag

2019-03-25 13:20

They have to sign Mantuu.

Do you mean mantuuuuuuuuuuuuu?

2019-03-25 13:48

Yes, the british guy, with polish name, that plays in german team.

2019-03-25 16:17

you missed out that you're brazilian

2019-03-25 16:24

who cares about tier 234242 polak team

Says random dude with a bullshit life

2019-03-25 13:56

and he doesn't care about argentinian's opinions, who thinks he has an idea about lives of people that he hasn't even known.

Englando hard language

2019-03-26 15:02

which part is wrong? i would like to know.

2019-03-26 17:51

bro everything in that sentence is wrong haha

2019-03-26 17:56

so basically you don't have any idea

2019-03-26 18:00

so basically your whole sentence makes no sense mate

2019-03-26 18:06

i think there is just one mistake, i missed ''an'' before argentinian. Other parts look correct to me

didn't ask

2019-03-25 13:29

who?

2019-03-25 13:32

They'll test sobol,goofy and maybe vegi dunno 'bout otheres

Papa back then Taz OMEGALUL dead org

Feels bad for him ;( but I hope it will help with results. The only thing that makes me a little bit fucked up is snax speech like 2,3 days ago when he said „We just need around 3 months, the roster is really good etc.” This sucks

TOAO career is finished now

Thats right, wtf vp? >change ur roster too late >change ur roster in 4 months of losing almost everything (but in style imo) >???

2019-03-25 13:55

-byali's noobiness and inconsistency needs to be seen into -GODNAX😎😎👌👌👌 -MICHU needs to be the star player of the roster, like zywoo for vitality and s1mple for NAVI -snatchie snatchie snatchie - feels good to pronounce😎😎👌👌👌 -Sobol...IDK

2019-03-25 14:01

Finally

2019-03-25 13:37

Really good change. Sobol would be great addition! I'm actually pretty excited to see how they will perform with him if they indeed choose him. On the other end Innocent would be good as well, we will see.

2019-03-25 13:42

Snax should be benched as first.

Byali*

2019-03-25 14:03

They should bench Byali and Snax instead of Toao, and check some other players

2019-03-25 16:28

Snax is actually the best out of those 3. Bench them all, form new team around michu and snatchie(again).

2019-03-25 20:19

good buy

2019-03-25 13:40

BRING BACK TAZ

2019-03-25 13:44

Common they kicked him and now they should back him? TaZ created much better team with better chemistry that VP will never have with toxic byali and snax with 0 iq and 10000000 ego.

2019-03-25 23:57

Taz plz

2019-03-25 13:45

Pls disband this team

byali Snax MICHU snatchie Me

axaxaxax

FINALLY

2019-03-25 13:52

Really wish they will get furlan, btw they need to replace kuben aswell. Bring neo to coach role

Ago already won more money than vir🚮us.pro since snatchie betrayed them

VP Dota POG Vp csgo LUL

hahahaha

dead team. pay them 500 per month and let them play for 5k prize money online leagues

2019-03-25 14:04

I am sure that their new contracts are not that big as in the past. Still, I bet that the salaries are still too high, losing 8 games in a row in MDL lul

2019-03-25 14:17

right and right they dont achieve anything. basically a tier 5 team like havu, expert, epsilon. they shouldnt even be considered as a "pro team". semi-pro at best.

2019-03-25 14:20

Yup, I cant stand byali, hes not performing well since 2015 or something like that, crying on Facebook after every match

2019-03-25 14:24

snax isnt any better. "ronaldinho of cs" biggest ego, but washed up bot if vp wants to save their brand, they should sign ago imo.

2019-03-25 14:35

Yup, revamped AGO roster would be nice. I would bring back Snatchie +1, remove szpero and Kap3r.

2019-03-25 17:24

BOTAO in roaster vs Ronaldinho of cs as a IGL Dunno what is worse

I love how it just says : TOAO is benched. Even the full statement is super brief.

NEO COMEBACK POGU

2019-03-25 14:09

What's with the trend of benching your IGL ? Snax was shit as IGL and that's when he started to play like a bot after he took over the role. Also look at FaZe, G2, Vitality, Gambit, etc, all of them underestimated the IGL role and look where they are now. G2 needed to add two players who were calling a bit before joining (AmaNEk & Lucky) to help shox, same with Vitality (adding ALEX), FaZe is shit now, Gambit fell into oblivion... wtf are these guys doing. TOAO was good in AGO and that's when they had they breakthrough moments. Just give them time for god's sake, they gave their previous team almost 2 years without any decent results and now they instantly make changes while they had a completely new lineup.

2019-03-25 14:10

vp er finish,,,,

2019-03-25 14:18

expected rating 0.97

2019-03-25 14:12

2019-03-25 14:42

bench all of them lol

2019-03-25 14:44

yea expected this one

2019-03-25 14:46

I'd be benching byali and Snax, the roster needs to freshen up. So many better players in Poland could be working with MICHU and snatchie.

2019-03-25 14:53

2019-03-25 16:36

furlan would be better cuz igl and good fragger

2019-03-25 16:44

pasha igl inc

2019-03-25 16:41

Should never have kicked neo to begin with.

They should kick toxic snax who destroyed VP.

2019-03-25 16:46

2019-03-25 16:52

poland no scene

2019-03-25 16:56

2019-03-25 17:09

Well that escalated quickly

2019-03-25 17:18

bring Papito back!

2019-03-25 17:43

Sad to say but they should've kicked byali instead.

2019-03-25 17:59

rip

2019-03-25 18:03

undeserved byali is the problem -byali + young player

2019-03-25 18:09

I am starting to think the same.

2019-03-25 21:59

snax cant fucking igl, if he will vp is doomed even before event starts.

Actually Snax is a very good igl. Old VP members said this in late 2017, they also said that snax is good igl, but other members cant utilize good calls bcause of the lack of skill.

2019-03-25 21:23

who benched whom?

2019-03-25 18:27

I used to be a VP fan, this is not my VP anymore so I don't care

2019-03-25 18:38

I promise this: -TOAO +TOAO After having a deep shit talk about feelings and the universe and stuff

2019-03-25 18:48

-toao +sobol :(

2019-03-25 19:01

The truth is that best polish team cant exist without Furlan. Hes the only polish player who have the will and motivation. He is the only player with Champion mentality, without counting old VP lineup.

2019-03-25 19:10

Kinda true

2019-03-25 20:59

Do you mean TaZ?

2019-03-25 21:58

Seems legit

2019-03-25 21:02

who is calling for AGO atm? Is it Furlan or szpero ?

Just disband or return TaZ and let him build line up which can compete on highest lvl or make russian line up with youngsters from FPL. This roster make no sense at all no media (Hello pasha) no legends (hello Neo,hello Taz) i feel sad for MICHU and snatchie as they joined team when it was counted,as a top team.
