TaZ becomes new G2 Head Coach

The Polish legend ventures into coaching for the first time in his career.

G2 have announced the signing of Wiktor "⁠TaZ⁠" Wojtas as the new Head Coach of their Counter-Strike team. He joins the organization on a long-term contract with a probation period included.

The Pole is set to replace Jan "⁠Swani⁠" Müller in the role. Last week the German coach announced he would step down from G2 after the BLAST Premier World Final, saying the job had taken a big toll on him.

Swani to step down from G2 after World Final

TaZ will already join the team at the season-ending Abu Dhabi event kicking off on December 13 to support Swani and prepare to take over the role in time for the 2024 season.

TaZ announced his decision to hang up his mouse in March this year, drawing a curtain on an extraordinary playing career that spanned two decades and saw the Pole win countless tournaments, including several Majors in Counter-Strike 1.6 and one in CS:GO.

At 37 years old, the veteran now ventures into coaching for the first time in his career, getting the opportunity to stand behind a G2 team currently sitting in sixth place of the HLTV ranking and that won IEM Katowice and IEM Cologne this year.

The organization recently benched Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage and brought back Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković in a controversial decision, and the new lineup heads into the BLAST Premier World Final in uncertain form following a disappointing fifth-sixth placing at the CCT Online Finals 5.

They will play a MOUZ squad fielding Ludvig "⁠Brollan⁠" Brolin as a stand-in in their opening match of Group B, which also features a new FaZe roster with David "⁠frozen⁠" Čerňanský and a temporary HEROIC lineup.

bad pick? TaZ was active until recently, which is good for coaching. Not only is he a good dude with a decent personality (needed), but he also has vast experience and has also IGL'd on lots of teams. This is NOT a bad pick up.

i agree they are just as important my point is an analyst isn’t a coach — they are different roles a coach needs to be a social leader for the team, swani was never a mental rock for his team he was, like jks, a quiet shy little mouse… he was not a leader. go listen to spunj on the last confirmed episode. he confirms what we all see on stage: he wasn’t a leader

TaZ was part of the team that had the longest standing top5 presence in cs go, from 2014 to 2017, and he was always a motivator, plan maker and IGL. He should've been coach sooner tbh, from 2019 actually. I think he can be a great coach I only wonder about his motivation to improve as a coach.

Not all coaches were up to date on the Meta when they first started. Man half the coaches out there were already retired for years before they came to coaching. Taz has the credentials needed to become a good coach. He’s got tons of experience as an IGL. And you are just downplaying his time spent in the game by saying the meta was shoot and kill. You act like there was zero strategy involved in the game back then. You couldn’t simply win a major without good tactics

It's worth pointing out that people were complaining about the same qualities with Swani when he first was announced for head coach position. Swani even points out that he was unproven when G2 promoted him to the role. At the end of the day this is all coming across as you don't like TaZ rather than anything else

yes and swani was a failure he didn’t win those trophies, m0nesy and hunter and niko did swani had 0 ability to mentally reassure his players i urge you to listen to hltv confirmed, they go into some detail as to how was just a yes man of sorts also, flair checks out

Um, you're definitely huffing copium, but let's entertain the idea that he wasn't the greatest at reassuring players sure & that he "didn't win those trophies" (I can't believe I'm typing out something so blatantly wrong). It would then make sense by your logic to bring in someone with experience winning trophies and being more of a hype man like TaZ

I always thought that from old VP duo, Taż would make a better coach. Bar is set extremely high at the start, one he goes straight for big org which is renown with having coaching problems, second: Neo allready sweeping trophies with Faze, that has to ignite Taz for expectations. Crazy times, 3 polish legends as coaches in strong teams.

TaZ is a guy with good PR skills. But everyone that knows him, know that he is not a smart man... He knows how to speak obvious words and thats it. Like a worst kind of mental coach that Your company can hire. This is not a good move by G2. And yes. I know him in real life, also a lot of ppl on polish scene will agree with me.

taz is the sort of dude to break up a legendary polish roster just because he wants to keep the Mercedes to himself. If i were him, I would've sold the Mercedes and split the revenue equally between all 5 and continued playing with my team

he wanted to do that but others said he should keep it, after years TaZ said it was his mistake to listen to the team to keep it and should've sold it anyway one of the reasons vp fell down was NEO feeling undervalued which led to him losing motivation and confidence and finally stepping down from the igl role (team was even more frustrated after that) it's not a single thing like this mercedes that destroyed the team but rather a lot of small arguments and the lack of psychologist and being honest with each other in the roster TaZ did some mistakes but same could be said about the rest of the roster, the car is just a symbol to the destruction of team. Giving him 100% blame is just unfair and ignorant PS even Snax admitted that removing TaZ was a mistake and they should've made different change(presumably NEO)

most of the information comes from countless players interviews so there are many sources tho most of them say the same story adding more details every newer one you may not find many informations tho cuz most of the sources are in polish and were rather spoken than written but still i believe you could find a little bit of details at least main guys to speak aboit old vp were pasha, snax and taz so i would look for their stories first

hltv.org/forums/threads/2748044/taz-abou.. found this thread with taz's post after pasha kinda talked shit about taz just to gain more viewers on hot topic cuz even in poland the full vp story wasn't unveiled (hot topic even nowadays) as he was having a freakfight soon (i never really like pasha for attention seeking stuff like this) and here you can find a video with pasha talking on stream to which taz referred in the one above escorenews.com/en/csgo/news/44957-pashab..

as years passed i don't think it's important to blame any of the player individually but rather splitting it on all of them for letting themselves being torn apart, also the team management made some poor decisions and yeah the lack of psychologist didn't make stuff any easier, mercedes was the the final blow that crumbled the wall old vp was

Is swani going to stay within the org, or is he leaving completely? After all, I thought at first he only stepped in before they find a new coach and before had a different position.
