GamerLegion part ways with Snax

The organization's youthful core has lost its most experienced member.

Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski has bid farewell to GamerLegion after nine months as the team's in-game leader.

"Snax, ever the hungry beast, cannot be contained," GamerLegion said in a statement, implying his next team has already been found. "He will move on, ready to continue wreaking havoc on the server."

This means that Sebastian "⁠volt⁠" Maloș, after Isak "⁠isak⁠" Fahlén's departure to Ninjas in Pyjamas, is the last survivor of the GamerLegion lineup that attended PGL Major Copenhagen.

The rebuild, led by coach Ashley "⁠ash⁠" Battye, has been centered on youth with the signing of three teenagers: Henrich "⁠sl3nd⁠" Hevesi, Andreas "⁠aNdu⁠" Maasing, and Timur "⁠FL4MUS⁠" Marev as isak's replacement.

If the plan was for them to develop under the guise of 30-year-old veteran Snax, that plan has been scuppered and GamerLegion now must enter the difficult market for a new in-game leader.

The Polish legend — a three-time top-five player of the year — took up the captaincy role of the international Let us cook lineup early in 2023 and earned a step up to GamerLegion in September of that year.

Results improved after he replaced Sanzhar "⁠neaLaN⁠" Iskhakov, though Snax could not stop GamerLegion's slide down the rankings as their grand final run at BLAST.tv Paris Major lost relevancy.

Regardless, Snax proved he could be a decent captain for an international side; a task he is expected to continue in his next, currently unannounced, project.

GamerLegion, with an average age of just 19.75, are now:

Sebastian "⁠volt⁠" Maloș
Henrich "⁠sl3nd⁠" Hevesi
Andreas "⁠aNdu⁠" Maasing
Timur "⁠FL4MUS⁠" Marev
