Janusz "Snax" Pogorzelski, former star of Virtus.pro and current in-game leader for GamerLegion, is the star of the 333rd Episode of 'Reflections'. This episode is part one of two about Snax's career.
Snax is one of the great individual stars of CS:GO and was the winner of numerous MVP awards. His Virtus.pro line-up was legendary for not making roster moves, famously changing roles instead and thus displaying an incredible tenure lasting four years. VP's best moments saw them hoisting trophies, from the EMS One Katowice major to ELEAGUE and Dreamhack Masters Las Vegas, and even in their slumps could rise from a dormant state to give the best teams in the world a hard series.
In part one, Snax discusses his time as a 1.6 player, thoughts on team-mates like NEO and byali, the early majors for Virtus.pro, how VP came up with tactics and utility innovations and why FNATIC were so hard to battle.
This interview was recorded on the 21st of December, 2023.

#Snax #byali #Thorin - Hry
He just cant stop the Ws. Incredible.
So good to hear from such an impactful/influential player that didn't communicate/do interviews at the time. Didn't realise he was so involved in the nuances of the prep and strategy, I can fully see why he's chosen to go down the IGL route now. Thanks Snax/Thorin, really interesting to see behind the curtain from those peak CSGO years.
Imagine if Snax had his break out in this current age and interacted with the media the way players do now. He'd be a massive personality as well as a player, the dudes hilarious.
11:52 “This is life, you make choices. You need to regret some, you need to be happy about some” what a lovely simple life mantra.
Another banger! Thank you Thorin and Snax!
this run should be studied... the list of names just keeps getting more outrageous. thanks for the history thorin; never got any insight into the mind of this gamesense god
shit like the epstein list
My favorite team of all time was that old VP lineup with Pasha, snax, byali, neo and taz! The love for the game and the passion they had in their team you could see it everytime they enter the stage and no matter the circumstances of the games, you could never count them out. The Virtus Plow will always be remembered in my heart, specially as TaZ and Neo was childhood heroes for me back when i was 13 years old playing CS after school i would download their demos and watch them late at night trying to learn how to play.
Pasha London School going strong
Thorin "but the problem is" Duncan on his way to become immortal. one banger after another W!
thorin 'people don't know' duncan
Duncan "here's the thing though" Shields
@@Charlotte_Cote_1I was waiting for this one
Snax is such a cool dude to listen to. very enjoyable interview i was hooked from the start to the end. good luck Snax both in life and CS2
Another W video from Thorin.
WHAT IN GODS NAME IS THAT FROM SNAX! i still remember that clutch my god what a player
the biggest apple of them all. Legend. Amazing interview, I've learnt so much about CS just by listening to this.
And the glory continues.
We need an Olofmeister reflections!!!
Man keep the reflections coming please these videos are awesome!
Impossible. Hell has frozen over.
Thank you for amazing content, Thorin ! These interviews are just what the doctor has ordered during the winter season
Awesome video. I love VP’s unique vision of the game.
Great interview, glad to see snax here!
Love the new background!
Snax is awesome; loving the Reflections videos!
Long time fan here. Thorin is a staple and absolute legend in this extremely over politicized Esports industry and even through all the unwarranted hate and B.S he deals with, its absolutely amazing the banger content we are getting. For free at that. Shox, Simple, and now Snax reflection videos all in the last month alone.. We really don't deserve this man. Keep up the good work, we appreciate it. Fuck the haters. These next gen "Journalists" and "Insiders" could NEVER 🤣🤣💯
Very good material, keep the good work ;)
The big 🍎!
Excited for this one
always enjoyed snax his playstyle and yes as he said he was one of the players if who's demo's u watched u would learn a lot early on in the game.
New OBS scene looks great🔥🔥
Another amazing reflections guest. Was wondering if there was any chance we would ever see a happy reflections? I think it would be a little bit spicy and quite good considering some of the opinions you've put out about him as a leader and that he's moved into a coaching role in valorant.
GOATs after GOATs
He's getting hekkin everyone.
LOL at 40:15 😂 that’s actually hilarious
Bring back the winter coat and pretend this came out in snax’s prime. Quality content as always.
Im actually surprised that all these players that had internet beef with thoorin agreed to do reflections with thorin, shows maturity of the pros with their aging.
Great content 👍
Amazing, so Pasha next?
feels like you have perma flu :D get better soon, banger interview as always
how does thoring keep getting these interviews, MAD
31:21 KURWA ADMIN🤣🤣🤣
Hell yess
Pls where is 2nd part
Snax definitely went to Pasha London School
thanks
Banger!!!!
THE BIG G
funny when snax thinks someone else played after kjaearbye left and thorin just knows everything exactly. he really is esports its insane how much stuff he knows
Stop it Thorin! The rest of the esports content industry is dead already, stop smashing them!! What a time to be alive
Let's goooooo
HLTV WISH THEN COULD GET THIS GOOD OF A CONVO but there all bots on HLTV pods
how many great players had parents who owned an internet cafe? i know for sure NiKo and now Snax.
Janusz "Hayabusa" Kubski - father of NEO is really big persona in Polish Counter-Strike. Godfather of Polish CS. Maybe not strictly internet cafe, but he himself was a gamer and always supported Filip. He invented Team Pentagram.
how to save polish cs
polski cees
OMG
hah , he did it again
my cat plays better counterstrike;)
