Snax's Journey: From Major Champion to a Five-Year Hiatus and Back

Veteran CS2 icon Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski is on the cusp of a sensational return to the Major stage with Guild Eagles after a hiatus that has lasted over five years. Once a celebrated figure at the heart of Virtus.pro's golden era, Snax's trajectory through the ranks of Counter-Strike's elite tournaments is a tale of triumph, resilience, and undying passion for the game.

His journey has seen him ascend to the pinnacle of CS2's predecessor, CS:GO, clinching the title at EMS One Katowice 2014 and securing a series of playoffs runs at subsequent Majors. Snax's track record speaks volumes, with notable placements at the FACEIT Major in 2018 and a top-four finish at the PGL Major Krakow 2017, among others.

Guild Eagles are set to face GamerLegion at 13:00 in a matchup that could mark a pivotal moment in Snax's career. A victory here would not only signify a personal comeback but also an inspiration for players who strive for longevity in the competitive scene of CS2. Stay tuned as we witness whether Snax can reclaim his spot among the echelons of Major legends.
