Snax to take break from competition through end of year

3-12-2021 03:28

The Polish veteran will take December off to recharge.

Anonymo have placed Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski on the bench until the end of year following a period of fatigue and burnout, the organization announced on Thursday. Currently, no replacement has been announced, but the team are set to field Piotr "⁠nawrot⁠" Nawrocki in their match on Friday in Exeedme Revolution 2021.

On his Facebook page, Snax explained that the team didn't meet their initial expectations and that following Anonymo's placing at the ESL Pro League Season 15 Conference, he was no longer feeling happy playing the game.

Anonymo lost to Movistar Riders and Sprout at the EPL Conference

Anonymo have experienced much roster turbulence since August, including the departure of original members Kamil "⁠KEi⁠" Pietkun and Wiktor "⁠mynio⁠" Kruk, and addition of former AGO duo Michał "⁠snatchie⁠" Rudzki and Karol "⁠rallen⁠" Rodowicz.

The Polish team also made a roster change earlier in the week, when Kacper "⁠Kylar⁠" Walukiewicz was benched in favor of Patryk "⁠Demho⁠" Tomaszewski.

Anonymo currently have:

Paweł "⁠innocent⁠" Mocek
Michał "⁠snatchie⁠" Rudzki
Karol "⁠rallen⁠" Rodowicz
Patryk "⁠Demho⁠" Tomaszewski

Adrian "⁠imd⁠" Pieper (coach)

Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski (inactive)
Kacper "⁠Kylar⁠" Walukiewicz (inactive)
Wiktor "⁠mynio⁠" Kruk (on loan to Wisla Krakow)

Isn't that what most players do???

a lot of these players that people keep referring to as being washed, are really just victims of meta changes. KennyS is a prime example, he was beastly once upon a time, then an awp movement nerf comes in and instantly renders him incapable of those incredible plays that made him famous in the first place. Same thing happened to the Polish VP squad, the all swedish fnatic and NiP squads, and the brazillian SK squad. if you don't keep up, you get styled on by those who do, and eventually drop out of Tier 1 CS and get forced into retirement.

2021-12-03 12:42

imagine comparing these 2 to snax XD

3k hs lineup con overpass.

2021-12-03 11:56

Lol are you new. Snax was once of the best players in the world.

2021-12-03 15:29

OOOOOOOOH. WHAT IN GODS NAME WAS THAT. UNBELIEVABLE.

2021-12-04 13:58

not even news

2021-12-03 03:36

Peak snax was one of the most fun players to watch in the history of this game. Will forever miss his VP golden days.

Most newbies don't realize this but these smoke plays that modern players do, Snax literally invented those plays and that playstyle :)

2021-12-03 03:44

The cache smoke play where he infiltrated behind iBP is so legendary even steel who was known for being one of the masterminds of the game at that time was mindblown

2021-12-03 04:03

He was a god at those plays. Also another one on mirage with the AWP vs fnatic or maybe Godsent I don't remember but he literally walked in smoke with the AWP and killed them on A mirage. Haha. *sigh*

2021-12-03 04:13

+1 the OG smoke criminal.

2021-12-03 21:13

2021-12-03 04:24

+1, what a player

2021-12-03 11:42

+1 he had unique playstyle

2021-12-03 13:00

+1 legendary player, peak moment was insane, 5 years on tier 1 deserves respect imo

2021-12-03 17:09

didnt he retire?

2021-12-03 03:40

Time to retire.

2021-12-03 03:41

gl to him!

2021-12-03 03:42

did he play?

I mean, he should've retired at least 2 years ago, when he had that last moment with VP.

2021-12-03 03:51

lol thought he retired like 3-4 years ago

2021-12-03 03:53

nice slediw dodik

2021-12-03 07:47

i thought he already retired xd

2021-12-03 04:04

Who cares lmao

2021-12-03 04:20

This is good news for anonymo fans since they will get a huge upgrade in Tudson.

2021-12-03 04:25

why would they take another awper? snax is igl

2021-12-03 09:42

They could take TudsoN make him primary awp, turn snatchie into a hybrid. Than sign a IgL in place of Demho or go International and sign MSL

2021-12-03 11:34

Tudson deserves way better than some polish team

2021-12-03 12:28

He still played?

2021-12-03 04:41

he had too many snacks

Damn, that's a tough break. He did a decent job as an IGL, though he was often whiffing his shots on the AWP. I hope he can find his motivation back, and not necessarily in CS either, cuz I still miss that lineup :( All the best!

2021-12-03 04:43

best player once upon a time. time to put the gloves down, legend!

2021-12-03 04:57

<3 Snax

2021-12-03 05:07

Snax was still competing?!

2021-12-03 05:15

Bears do hibernate in winter

2021-12-03 05:31

I will always miss the good ol' days, when Snax was clearly TOP3 player and watch VP playing was awesome.

2021-12-03 05:32

My parents are from Poland. I have watched Neo & Taz since I was a young teenager. This looks like the end for Snax. Pasha and Byali's careers ended some time ago. Polish CS fell apart after Neo & Taz retired, there is no new blood in the pipelines. In Dota2, there are only 2 superstar players. What has happened? Polish gaming is dying.

2021-12-03 05:35

too much alcohol from polska

2021-12-03 05:42

Neo and taz is still playing tho?

2021-12-03 06:40

Lol only Pasha left the Pro Scene. Byali is wasting rest of his career in Izako Boars what is just decent Polish team. Snax played at best teams in Poland but every time he stays in teams like that, they are falling apart. Neo and Taz build Org to help PL scene.

2021-12-03 08:25

NEO TAZ - honoris Byali - hand injury but he is still in izakob Snax - ano/ take a break Pasha - only man who retire

2021-12-03 11:21

We will be back, dont worry bro!

2021-12-03 13:01

Actually there is 2 players at semi lvl in ence (dycha, hades) and maybe kei from sprout but when VP was in prime maybe just innocent was at lvl like this duo from ence. So imo polish scene was never dying, polish scene its just average when u take out VP at whole history. (sry for english)

2021-12-03 18:38

Sad

can some polish insider tell me what happened to him , he used to be called Ninja and smartest player and now struggle in tier 3 polish team WTF?!

2021-12-03 05:44

Actually before he became an igl he was carrying anonymo beside kei and still has that amazing game sense just aim got worse

Idk ask taz and vp management

2021-12-03 06:59

he is playing with innocent and imd for over 2 years, and he was forced to igl which he doesnt like but everyone who was playing with him calling him the best igl they've ever played

2021-12-03 19:02

he was playing? lul

2021-12-03 05:52

Respect, enjoy ur break snax <3 Everyone shit talking him in comments, at least he never acted like other old legends of the game, saying they wouldnt play again if it werent with a T1 roster. Snax instead gave back to his community and raised the youth players of Poland instead of reaching for immediate glory again

2021-12-03 05:59

Expected, snatchie came in to awp. Enjoy retirement Snax

2021-12-03 06:00

Get well Papa Snax. Gl

Whos igl now?

2021-12-03 06:41

Innocent is always igl, no?

2021-12-03 08:16

No, hes never been an igl

2021-12-03 08:34

It was snax i believe

2021-12-03 09:38

Nawrot was igl in his former teams

2021-12-03 10:44

its so funny aahhahaahahha

What is it like to be a ruski and be a m0NESY fan?

2021-12-03 10:56

Being m0nesy fan = retardo 100%

2021-12-03 11:12

He was still good in 2017 and then he just dipped from 2018 onward

2021-12-03 06:58

Recharge means he would get even bigger?!

2021-12-03 07:21

Good luck in 2022 goat, Anonymo is a great team.

2021-12-03 08:15

Snax can you finally retire

2021-12-03 08:22

Nt tyloo fan

2021-12-04 11:53

"snax_god" fan of snatchie. How many times you cry per day?

2021-12-04 13:04

Tyloo fan mad¿ Tyloo cant even win a match

2021-12-06 12:56

no,why

2021-12-06 12:57

Gl snax u are great guy, i hope to see you again :(

I still believe he's a good player. I love his style of playing.

2021-12-03 08:37

just retire wtf

2021-12-03 08:38

Snax to C9 when?

2021-12-03 08:53

I thought he was retired

2021-12-03 08:55

It felt like there was a sliver of hope for polish CS when anonymo had snax, Innocent and Kei on the roster. Mynio seemed like a decent igl too. Cant really blame snax for losing motivation when polish cs is dead and despite the fact that there are a lot of talented players he ends up playing with snatchie and rallen

2021-12-03 08:57

He was a GOD back in the day, but he should retire already or find another role at least...

2021-12-03 08:58

Just retire, your time has passed

2021-12-03 08:59

you not you when you're hungry, eat a snax?

2021-12-03 09:08

Everybody needs a break from time to time

2021-12-03 09:09

It's seriously sad for the polish scene, it feels like there is a roster change every two months. Is there no lineup that could work and establish themselves as a top team? Or at least a top20 team? It feels like they have good players but can't find chemistry, all the talents are split in so many different teams.

2021-12-03 09:21

this hurts to read [*] golden 5, always in our hearts

2021-12-03 09:23

2021-12-03 11:28

happy he took a break... will comeback stronger, wish he comes back to tier 1 or at least to tier 2

Take it easy man, Snax! Always one of the best players in my heart.

2021-12-03 12:01

Get well snax my men. <3

2021-12-03 12:13

I really hope he comes back but not in this team, he really deserves better, he is still a decent player, and this Anonymo team is completely trash, if not him and snatchie they wouldn't be in TOP 3 in Poland most likely. Get well soon Snax!
