It is safe to say that ever since the birth of Counter Strike, one lineup has maintained its legacy of being one of the most consistent and successful roster among all.

Having the same lineup since the start of 2014, Virtus.pro claimed titles and trophies anywhere they could. Although it was a bumpy ride, the team stuck together and that was one of the reasons why they continued to remain a prominent entity in the world of CS:GO.

Virtus.pro’s organization tied things up even further as they signed a contract for all five players to remain with VP till the year 2020. And this just showed how much the organization and the players believed in themselves.

21 first place finishes, and a total of 58 times when Virtus.pro stood on the podium is just few of the accomplishments of the team in 4 and a half years. That also includes the current under-performing 2018 where the team has failed to make a mark among the top teams in the world.

The team now itself thinks on switching things up. The first sign of it came in the form of Wiktor “TaZ” Wojtas who was benched to bring in Michał “MICHU” Müller to the active lineup in February, 2018. And now, with Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski moving to Mousesports, it seems as players are also looking for a new life in their competitive career.

We'd like to thank @cios_snax for his for his contribution and we kindly ask you to cheer @morelzyi, who is going to stand-in on upcoming tournaments. For futher info visit our site: 🇪🇺 https://t.co/QaR6YZBRlo

And while we wish the best of look to Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski for his future endeavors and his time in mousesports, this sure is an alarming thing for Virtus.pro and the legacy of The Golden Five.

With Taz and Snax out of VP, only three members of the golden five remain and only Filip “NEO” Kubski and Jarosław “pashaBiceps” Jarząbkowski being the ones part of the Original Golden Five that transitioned from CS 1.6 to CS:GO alongside TaZ, Jakub “kuben” Gurczyński and Mariusz “Loord” Cybulski.

This creates a big question mark on the future of the legendary lineup and how Virtus.pro as an organization will make efforts to bring back their charm and legacy.

Filling the place of Snax is a stand-in Piotr “Morelz” Taterka who came in from Tomorrow.gg and is considered one of the upcoming stars in the Polish scene. But if this doesn’t work, will VP continue to keep changing lineups in order to find the better one or put their trust on the up comers and try to continue the legacy of the Golden Five? This only time can tell but as for now, this is something the the community is anxiously hoping to get answered.

Tell us what you think of the move and what future it holds for Virtus.pro?
