AGO announce new lineup, phr and snatchie return

30-8-2022 14:20

The duo that brought AGO to the limelight in 2018 returns to the organization.

Polish esports organization AGO announced on Monday the acquisition of Michał "⁠snatchie⁠" Rudzki from Illuminar and the signing of Tomasz "⁠phr⁠" Wójcik and Grzegorz "⁠jedqr⁠" Jędras, previously from Wisla Krakow, from free agency.

Returning from the last project is Eryk "⁠leman⁠" Kocęba as the rifler comes back to the active lineup after spending a month on the bench. Damian "⁠Furlan⁠" Kislowski, meanwhile, remains the longest-serving member of the squad with more than five years of service for "The Hawks."

phr returns to AGO after three years away from the organization

This is snatchie's third stint with the organization. The AWPer spent time with the organization in 2017-18, and later in 2021 before moving to Anonymo first and Wisla Krakow later. The football club-backed organization shut down its esports division at the end of June and the 24-year-old was released alongside jedqr. The rifler currently displays a 1.06 overall rating and a 1.13 LAN rating across the last eight months.

phr also makes his return to AGO after spending three years away from the organization. The in-game leader was part of AGO between 2017-2019 and spent the following years playing for both Polish and European teams such as Virtus.pro, Illuminar, and Finest.

The core of phr, Furlan, and snatchie was at the center of AGO's success in 2018 as the Polish squad peaked at the No.16 spot on the world rankings after respectable placings at StarSeries i-League Season 5 and DreamHack Open Summer. Following snatchie's departure to Virtus.pro, the team also claimed a second-place finish at WESG World Finals 2018.

The new-look AGO will debut at ESL Challenger League Season 42 Europe and will share Group D with Sprout, K23, and Entropiq.

AGO are now:

Damian "⁠Furlan⁠" Kislowski
Eryk "⁠leman⁠" Kocęba
Tomasz "⁠phr⁠" Wójcik
Michał "⁠snatchie⁠" Rudzki
Grzegorz "⁠jedqr⁠" Jędras

Mikołaj "⁠miNirox⁠" Michałków

2022-08-30 14:46

"Polish esports orgnbization AGO announced on Monday the acquisition of Michał "⁠snatchie⁠" Rudzki from Illuminar and the signing of Tomasz "⁠phr⁠" Wójcik and Grzegorz "⁠jedqr⁠" Jędras, previously from Wisla Krakow, from free agency." actually phr from illuminar and snatchie from wisla

2022-08-30 14:55

we did see that combination of players already, right?

- How much time you guys play together? -Yes.

they will probably do it 6 more times in the next two years lol

ah yes, polish scene recycling mediocre players again and again

2022-08-30 15:13

There are 164 polish players according to hltv which means that we have 929632032 combinations of team. We need some time to test all of those.

Ugly shirts, shitty rebranding

2022-08-30 15:27

POG ANOTHER POLISH MIX TO PLAY IN 322 TOURNAMENTS

2022-08-30 15:28

Hahahahaha every shuffle the same faces. OUR SCENE IS SHIT.

it's a really faking joke that furlan and minirox are still there

2022-08-30 15:29

furlan is great entry wdym???

2022-08-30 15:54

he is there for like forever and achieved nothing, meanwhile young talents like krasnal or mwlky are kicked after a month

2022-08-30 16:36

"achieved nothing" XD krasnal wasn't playing that good (0.99 rating not bad for a anchor + entry but he wasn't THAT good) and this was mwlky who wanted to leave... I see you are not very smart person :/

2022-08-30 17:41

so be sooo smart and tell me what he ever achieved? polish cups doesn't count XDD only the first squad of ago was kinda good but they didn't make any progress and fucked themselves with their nepotism and they just recycling the same faces again and again it's sad that shitty org is probably the biggest we have and there are still some "smart" people defending their shitty moves

2022-08-30 18:45

best news for Polish Cs in last 2 years was Wisła karków shutting down

2022-08-30 15:35

They change roster fr everytime i see them mentioned

2022-08-30 15:39

Why polish teams rosters shuffle reminds me of brazilian ones?

2022-08-30 15:43

Brazil is at least having new players here and there

2022-08-30 15:52

Brazil is like Poland but on steroids

2022-08-30 15:55

max 2 months and another changes -,-

2022-08-30 15:44

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

I actually dont like moves among national teams. They're just exchanging players. those team need teamwork or something creative, not roster changes. I honestly don't know much about Polish scenes, but miss AGO played number of Overtime rounds against NaVi.

Any low-tier team could force overtime on a high level team on a pug map

2022-08-30 17:23

Exciting lineup! Finally some fresh blood... POLISH CS KEKW

ENCE was the last hope for polish cs, it was the only org which could make a strong polish team, or at least a core but sunpayus and valde moves killed that possibility i think It's hard to see another org joining cs and make a team with some of the best players from polska

2022-08-30 16:09

bahahahahahha, thats why i hate polish rat cs, these rats will be rats forever, los kugotos, ago, illuminar, anonymo, wisla, polish rat cs doesnt exist and never wont be with mentality like that.

2022-08-30 16:11

Visit doctor

2022-08-31 14:56

zamknij dupe, polska scena nie istnieje, banda przyglupow, ktora potrafi wygrac randomowo bo1, ale ogolnie to ludzie bez pasji, grajacy tylko dla siana

2022-08-31 16:50

#105 + flag

2022-08-31 18:31

ahhh yes, polish cs (after 2017)

2022-08-30 16:12

furlan looks 47 lol , that pic isnt right

2022-08-30 16:43

i would have expected more of young talent

2022-08-30 16:48

just another shuffle

2022-08-30 16:52

thanks for announcing 30th polish team this year, but its not gonna achieve anything before next changes in roster

2022-08-30 16:49

acquisition of Michał "⁠snatchie⁠" Rudzki from Illuminar and the signing of Tomasz "⁠phr⁠" Wójcik and Grzegorz "⁠jedqr⁠" Jędras, previously from Wisla" something is incorrect

2022-08-30 16:55

solid lineup I hope they get it rolling again

2022-08-30 17:14

2022-08-30 17:17

Time to qualify for pro league once a year and not doing anything for the rest of it

2022-08-30 17:21

Takes so long between qualification and actual EPL play, they cant even play with their peek performance

2022-08-31 00:21

Omg not again.. Another day another Polish shuffle with the same players being mixed in 10 different teams in 4 years.

2022-08-30 17:30

that's right, polish scene be like

2022-08-30 17:43

Pog

2022-08-30 17:37

Dear HLTV, AGO are called "The Hawks" ("Jastrzębie") in Poland, not "The Eagles". Please fix this obvious mistake.

2022-08-30 17:42

2046 will be like ago furlan: i see great potential in our new roster

2022-08-30 17:54

Actually a decent lineup, everything makes sense here, I just hope they give them more than 2 months before another changes.

2022-08-30 18:06

whoa! I have NEVER SEEN those young talents before!

2022-08-30 18:11

recycled PL talent lmao

2022-08-30 18:12

nice

2022-08-30 18:23

furlan still in this roster xddd

LAAAAGGG

2022-08-30 18:58

Pretty sico, Poland now have like 5 banger lineups. +Dycha +Hades +Michu +F1ku +tudson

2 awpers ?

2022-08-30 19:53

Not a team, just mentioned people from international teams.

2022-08-30 19:55

innocent instead of tudson

2022-08-30 22:06

NOT A Team, but yes if you were to make the best possible Polish team, you would have something like innocent/rallen/furlan/gurby/tudson/idk whom is igl atm and the best. +++ mantuu(?) as awper? michu f1ku both needed. +1
