kuben joins Virtus.pro as coach

2/2/2015 - 00:28

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.

kuben will coach his former team-mates

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.

FaZe	1.52	Bet	2.38	NiP
Liquid	2.91	Bet	1.43	Astralis

good!

2015-02-02 00:29

omg really? thats amazing. i heard it a few months ago.. thought it was just trolling. because nobody saw kuben in the last year and even taz told in an interview that they dont have contact with kuben since they parted ways. but i will miss psycho behind them. since the grill stands behind them they suck. maybe kuben can kick in something!

2015-02-02 00:30

kuben is coach, psycho manager :)

2015-02-02 01:17

Doesn't psycho manage some German team now?

2015-02-02 01:37

Psycho menage Mous. Mag (this pretty girl) is Virtus Pro new menager :)

2015-02-02 01:39

I'd love a menage with her

2015-02-02 02:26

i menaged her pussy and placed my dick here

2015-02-02 07:50

She isn't their manager, she was with them only in Finland, since now kuben is their Coach and also manager "For example, today we welcome a new coach and concurrently a manager of the Virtus.pro" from vp fanpage

Diablo 1 pls, FRESH MEAT

2015-02-02 00:37

i thought you said in a stream that your not sooo into competitive cs. and played the shit out of d2. thats why i assumed that. d1 was just the beginning ;D

2015-02-02 00:40

Nah its I had a few years I was a bit off and on, but I've seen kuben and loord play in the old days, I was a class above zE from Roskilde Ravens and knew him pretty well, cs is just a way of life man D:

2015-02-02 00:42

what the fuck is zE doing right now? i really miss him (altogether with dalle, Snappi, Nuggi, turkizh...)

2015-02-02 00:45

He runs a bar in Copenhagen last I checked, I catch him a few times a year and try and talk him into playing CS again ;P

2015-02-02 00:46

glad to hear that and what about the others? have you even been in contact with someone i mentioned?

2015-02-02 00:47

some people (not us) are going on with their lifes man ;DD

2015-02-02 00:48

absolutley man. i was on and off too. i was in from almost the beginning. missed the navi era.. and then came back to see that 1.6 is dead and csgo was the new kid.

2015-02-02 00:34

Is that the team with michu? Have they actually achieved something so far?

2015-02-02 01:00

Yes!

2015-02-02 01:37

Won some 2-3 polish LANs, usually the LANs which ESC Gaming did not attend.

2015-02-02 01:39

Best what could happen for VP. So expected. They need good tactics and strats because they suck in this so muuuuch. Kuben will improve it i hope and VP gonna be top 1 this year. Sick.

2015-02-02 00:57

damn this is good!

2015-02-02 00:57

4 LEGENDS IN 1 TEAM WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

2015-02-02 00:59

its a great idea of coaching but i dont agree with it! you will say: but yeah now neo (or snax) can focus more o fragging! i say no, pronax and happy dont need a coach (moman and devilwalk doesnt make new strats, its all on pronax and happy) i hope them good luck, and for sure VP sould stay at top5 since their longtime contracts.

2015-02-02 00:59

its not only about calling strats, but as couch he can se what other teammates are doing, more map control, enemys position control and neo/snax can focus on his own monitor without radar

2015-02-02 01:01

then explain me why Happy is best ex-LDLCs player for 2-3 months now? btw on LAN (at least majors) i think coach has no access on ts3/mumble/ventrilo or whatever! correct me if im wrong tho :P

2015-02-02 02:51

happy is not that of a strict igl lol,and what he does doesnt prevent him from concentrating ingame,nothing to do with ingame skill obviously(which happy has plenty of)

2015-02-02 03:43

He will analyse demos, looks how other teams playing and suggest counter-tactics also.

2015-02-02 01:08

the IGL can do it better, (also read iorek statement when as a coach he play like a player in game) you are right yes, but teams like ex-LDLC, fnatic and maybe NiP the 90% of tactics made by IGL, when teams like TSM i think 3k2 help them a lot now instead of when fetish was in! in my opinion only if coach is as a 6th player you can success with coaching (see carn DHW 2013 final)

2015-02-02 02:46

Why IGL can do strats better and watch analyse demo better? O_O Wtf are you talking about man. I'm sure he'll be useful to give more freedom for all of them during games and outside of it. A guy who's really watching other teams, seeing how they're playing, seeing their strats, weak spots, strong spots = pure gold. Kuben was one of the best(imo best) igl in cs 1.6. He knows how it's like. He had a huge impact on why those guys were once called golden5 and dominated scene with swedish teams and for a while alone.

2015-02-02 04:01

oh i didnt know he was their igl back then! ofc its a better option, i mean YES its the future of esports but i dont absolutely agree with coaching on LANs, maybe its just me :D even tho coaching goes the game in another level! :D tbh i never said its a bad move, its the best move they have done since contracts and addition of byali/snax!

2015-02-02 04:16

I don't think he will have such a huge impact on LANs, more likely before during preparations. I know what you mean, there are some guys like heaton, devilwalk etc. who stand(or stood) behind and probably keep saying some stuff but I'm not sure how it works. He can coordinate it somehow I guess, motivate. Remind them some stuff about other team He was part of the golden5 team with neo, taz, Luq(later pasha), loord and him, kuben. (3x WCG titles, 2x ESWC, 2x IEM, and shitloads of 2nd and 3rd places on both majors and not) Very smart guy, lot of sick strats and unpredictable plays. But he won't make a difference on his own :( praaacticee, and less streaming from pasha lol
