Virtus.pro have announced that they have recruited former ESC Gaming member Jakub "kuben" Gurczynski as a coach.

Jakub "⁠kuben⁠" Gurczynski was released from the Polish team in July 2013, when they still donned ESC Gaming's colours, and announced his retirement from gaming some weeks later in an interview with HLTV.org.

He has now rejoined his former team-mates as a coach at a time when they are going through a difficult moment following a series of mixed results.

Virtus.pro crashed out of ASUS ROG Winter in the group stage following defeats against PENTA and HellRaisers, while at DreamHack Winter they were sent packing in the semi-finals courtesy of a 1-2 defeat against NiP.

The Polish giants will be in action on February 7 at IOS Pantamera and next month at ESL One Katowice, where they will try to defend the major title clinched last year.
