AGO extend contracts until 2020; add two coaches

2-2-2018 17:01

Following investment into the organization, AGO has renewed contracts with the team and has added two new coaches to the squad.

A team composed of two Polish veterans and three rookies didn't take long to click, with AGO breaking into the top 30 of our rankings three months after putting the squad together. The Polish team achieved some notable results since, with the most recent ones being qualifying for ESL Pro League and winning ESEA MDL Global Challenge.

AGO had a successful start to 2018

Today, AGO revealed that they have received investment from the former Legia Warsaw football club owners—Bogusław Leśnodorski, Maciej Wandzel, and Jakub Szumielewicz—which allows them to "enter the next phase of the team's development".

With newly allocated resources, AGO has renewed contracts with the five players and the coach, which tie them to the organization until 2020.

Alongside that, two new coaches have been hired to help out the team: Maciek "maCOP" Opielski, who will help with individual training and tactical analysis, and Sebastian "Krzepki" Krzepota, Legia Warsaw's former physical trainer who will focus on the players' health, diet, as well as the mental aspect.

AGO has also revealed a redesigned logo, and that the "AGO Training Center", a place where the team is set to base its operations and bootcamp from, is currently being built and will be operational in March.

With the added support, AGO are hoping their team can reach tier 1 status in 2018:

"The plan is to make a great interdisciplinary esports organization based on the best know-how from traditional sports. Rebranding is one of the first steps, together with introduction of new coaches and building the AGO Training Center. We will be mastering our CS:GO team management and will give them full support, hopefully making it possible that they join Tier 1 teams in 2018." - Jakub Szumielewicz, CEO of AGO

AGO's now has the following team:

Dominik "⁠GruBy⁠" Swiderski
Damian "⁠Furlan⁠" Kislowski
Mateusz "⁠TOAO⁠" Zawistowski
Michał "⁠snatchie⁠" Rudzki
Tomasz "⁠phr⁠" Wójcik

Mikołaj "⁠miNirox⁠" Michałków (Tactical Coach)
Maciek "maCOP" Opielski (Development Coach)
Sebastian "Krzepki" Krzepota (Performance Coach)

2018-02-02 17:30

why not ? just shows that they are taking it serious unlike vp

2018-02-02 17:31

and they're not all focusing on tactics but on different tasks. "Sebastian "Krzepki" Krzepota, Legia Warsaw's former physical trainer who will focus on the players' health, diet, as well as the mental aspect."

2018-02-02 19:55

LOL

3 coaches? ...

2 coaches for game-related stuff and 1 guy to keep them in shape. Well the last one will do good for them, maybe they'll lose some weight.

2018-02-02 19:42

2018-02-02 19:36

clean my toilet please

2018-02-02 23:33

haHAA

furlan and gruby were on 2 majors already in 2015. Do you think that cs go is based on aim or skillwhise abblities anymore ??? The better team wins in Counter Strike these days!!! Just the same thing like in football :P

But still this ago team most of the time struggles against some tier 3 EU. Basically theyre just a decent team that could only damage to tier 3 sometimes tier 2 team. I dont see any improvement with this team Same like renegades, change coaches but still only little improvement

2018-02-02 18:34

they beat gambit,hellraisers, Space soldiers few times and they beat Virtus.pro.. They never lose vs tier 3 team idk even what you talking about ??? They are on tier 2 level since months

2018-02-02 23:20

*they lose vs tier3 teams from poland thats it but not on international scene :p

2018-02-02 23:21

NEW VP XDDDDDDDDD NOW THEY WILL PLAY SHIT HAHHA

finally i won something

2018-02-02 17:11

Thanks

Thanks professeur

Its too much for tactical coach to do individual training?

probably not, but its more comfortable for them i guess, they can just focus on one thing

Thats why you ve got analyst.. and coach. But who knows

Looks like they are trying to copy real sports

2018-02-02 17:16

Add 2 more coaches so that there'll be a coach team

thank god this logo looks good

These 2 coaches will probably try to tell them that theyre the better polish team

2018-02-02 19:08

top 1 pl ezpz

Laugh as much as you want, this is new meta, ez major inc.

GL HF, this team is rly interesting hope they will be tier 1 soon

they have no chance to reach tier 1 without atleast 5 coaches.they also need mental coach and some coach that will help them with fitness lifestyle+i guess that they also need a chef

mr Krzepota is doing that ;v if you follow their social media you can see a change in their diet, they work out at gym etc... it’s his job, Minirox is „normal” coach, Krzepki is working on lifestyle and mental things and MoCop is analyst, doing job Minirox used to do earlier :v I think many team (Astralis, North for example) have more people behind them :p they are working with psychologist, analyst etc

2018-02-02 21:47

lets go AGO!

Lets go Ago :)

nice matchfixing against spirit and pompa in katowice qualifier was worth

they haven’t been practising before that matches, they are now in closed qualifier so it’s ok, I only regret they wont go to Kiev for Starladder

2018-02-02 21:48

Well k then.

I like the idea but well see if they develop that quickly

We football now bois LUL

And the coach to the coaches?

they are never going to a major though :( eu minor is stacked af. so no tier1 top lel

2018-02-02 17:13

2018-02-02 18:05

szpero as well

2018-02-02 18:17

Really good team. Now its top-1 Poland Team. GL, Ago

2018-02-02 18:15

That is exactly how you act as a professional team. You'll see results in no time, I guarantee.

WHEN VP extended contracts they started to suck tho

but VP by average age is the oldest team out there AGO is one of the youngest

2018-02-02 18:28

getting huge invesetements and contracts like this might be a factor in them doing down in ranking imo they will try less since they know they got a 2 years contract and even if they get released they will still get an amount of money since its most likely written in contract if you get released before the end date of ur contract u'll get refunded for most likely all the months that you were supose to stay under contract , they should have atleast got only a 1 year contract to make them more eager to work hard

2018-02-02 18:42

I don't think so, the case with VP is that they've achieved everything - here we have young ambitious players, which probably will try their best to turn this chance into something

YEESSSS!! Great news, gratz AGO!! well deserved, love the team!

nice

Oh shiet, AGO is double dipping! Noice.

2018-02-02 18:31

Really cool to see an organization and the players grow together. AGO plays a nice disciplined style of cs. Looking forward to seeing them become a top15 team.

2018-02-02 18:32

2018-02-02 18:47

wp, they have a lot of potential. Hope we can see them in the next major Always thought Kinguin would take the #1 spot from VP but they disbanded, AGO #1 Poland soon

2018-02-02 18:45

Worst LOGO Ever -_-

rip timing right when VP disband

2018-02-02 18:57

So many dumbasses here. It boggles my mind people don't understand or don't read and still comment. Quote from news: "...has added two new coaches to the squad." Explanation - there are two new members of the team, wchich makes total number of coaches - 3 (three). That is even said at the end of this piece of news.

I wish them very best!

very good!

2018-02-02 19:15

New management takes the e-sport very serious. One of biggest moves on world e-sport, you can't deny it. However new logo for me is awful. :(

It looks pretty good, but i thought that they will keep "angel" theme. Anyway, i cant wait for new t-shirts :o

2018-02-02 19:41

these polskis and their long term committments to teams lel

2018-02-02 19:54

gud, why change something whats definately working. maybe if they put some more hours to training they could reach major level, honestly i would like to see how they performing versus teams like quantum, vega etc, not godlike level organisations but that smaller ones which are on majors too.

2018-02-02 20:05

you will see tommorow vs Hellraisers uf they cant beat that teams they honna stay forever in tier4

2018-02-03 00:08

new ago logo sucks omg

2018-02-02 20:24

VP contracts end in 2020, AGO Contracts end in 2020 :thinking:

2018-02-02 20:31

CEO of AGO know that VP are going to replace some one from they team

2018-02-02 20:51

2018-02-04 18:26

(Tactical Coach) (Development Coach) (Performance Coach) Coaches everywhere nowadays... What will be next? Dietitian coach? Personal coach? It's sounds funny.
