AGO part ways with quartet in major reconstruction of CS:GO division

1-2-2023 14:05

The Polish organisation bids farewell to four of its players after falling down to No. 71 on the world ranking.

AGO have said goodbye to Eryk "⁠leman⁠" Kocęba, Michał "⁠snatchie⁠" Rudzki, Tomasz "⁠phr⁠" Wójcik, and substitute Miłosz "⁠sh3nanigan⁠" Klimczak, stripping the Polish ensemble down to just two active members in the process.

The four players all depart the organisation after differing lengths of service to "The Hawks", with leman notably now exploring the market as a free agent for the first time in over three years.

leman leaves AGO after spending over three years with the team

AGO originally bolstered their ranks in August 2022, signing the trio of snatchie, phr, and Grzegorz "⁠jedqr⁠" Jędras, whilst completing the roster with leman, who returned to the active lineup after a monthlong spell on the bench.

The squad's form failed to produce tangible results despite the overhaul, however, and the Poles exited the majority of their tournament outings with few positive takeaways.

The Polish quintet finished back-to-back runs through ESL Challenger League in 13-16th and 17-24th place, respectively, with just one win over Falcons to boast about in their most recent showing. This is in stark contrast to the organisation's previous roster, which was able to earn an ESL Pro League Season 15 berth on the back of a first-place triumph in ESEA Premier Season 38.

In addition, AGO's appearances at other online cups were little to write home about, crashing out of CCT North Europe Series 2 and CCT Central Europe Series 3 in 9-1th and 17-19th place. AGO also struggled domestically and exited the ESL Polish Autumn Championship 2022, Poland's national league and a ticket to the recently started IEM Katowice Play-In, in fourth place with a loss to PACT.

"We have terminated the contracts of four players by mutual agreement," AGO said to HLTV.org. "This is part of the process of a major reconstruction of the CS:GO division. This rebuilding will also affect the management structures, but we will keep you posted on this.

"Our organization has always achieved the best results working with talented young people hungry for success, and we believe in having such players available in Poland."

AGO now have just two players on their books:

Damian "⁠Furlan⁠" Kislowski
Grzegorz "⁠jedqr⁠" Jędras

sad

Nice

Never ending polish shuffle

2023-02-01 14:08

AGO has by now the worst reputation in csgo scene, how do they even find people that are dumb enough to sign for them? Also when was the last time they played at least a tier3 lan?

2023-02-01 14:10

They played EPL last year, but I still agree with you, it's incredible how many bad decisions the org has made in the past like 2 or so years.

2023-02-01 14:12

"AGO has by now the worst reputation in csgo scene" true "how do they even find people that are dumb enough to sign for them?" rich org (for polish standards)

never ending shuffle of players, keeping furlan in the team for unknown reasons while he has proven that he is not a god leader since he didn't have any major results with all of the AGO iterations. seems really weird they stick with him...

furlan prob just mates with the org management

2023-02-20 22:28

Because financially they're probably the most stable org in Poland. After the pandemic period killed off half of our scene, and the orgs that survived all have tougher situation than before, they and Anonymo are pretty much the only ones in stable position (that also don't have scandals of not paying their players in the past like IHG)

2023-02-01 16:53

Furlan and jedqr also out (leaks), maybe international team now?

retire

2023-02-01 15:13

2023-02-01 14:15

2023-02-01 14:19

2023-02-01 14:36

why do they always do this

2023-02-01 14:37

they will still shuffle the same trash polish players all over again which to the surprise of the crowds, does absolutely nothing

2023-02-01 14:38

+100

2023-02-01 14:48

furlan xddddddddd

How does this team still have money

2023-02-01 15:36

Im so sorry for furlan. He used to be one of the best players in Poland in some time but he wasted best years to rebuild ago lineups. In the meantime leman was lucky af as he used to be only a standin for ago at the beginning and somehow he survived, Now everyone will forget about him
