reatz steps down from Illuminar

13/7/2020 - 15:58

The 25-year-old is taking a break from gaming after losing his hunger to play in recent weeks.

Paweł "⁠reatz⁠" Jańczak announced on Sunday that he had been moved to the bench on Illuminar. In a Facebook post, the Polish player revealed that he requested some time off after realizing that he was no longer 100 percent committed to the team, who are still competing in some online tournaments during the player break.

"I know that this may be my worst decision, but I feel that at the moment my mental state is far from what it was like," he wrote.

reatz moved to the bench after losing his hunger and drive

reatz has been with Illuminar since September 2019, when the organisation signed the former x-kom lineup. The team picked up two titles shortly after signing with Illuminar, at Games Clash Masters and at the ESL Polish Championship Autumn Finals, but results have been inconsistent in recent months despite the high-profile addition of former Major champion Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski.

Karol "⁠rallen⁠" Rodowicz will be standing in for Illuminar for the foreseeable future. The 26-year-old, who has been without a team since the disbandment of ARCY in January, played his first match for Snax's side earlier on Monday in a 1-2 defeat to Syman in the Nine to Five 1 playoffs.

Illuminar, who will begin on Tuesday their run in Eden Arena Malta Vibes Cup 3, currently have:

Paweł "⁠innocent⁠" Mocek
Mikołaj "⁠mouz⁠" Karolewski
Arek "⁠Vegi⁠" Nawojski
Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski

Adrian "⁠imd⁠" Pieper (coach)

Michał "⁠mono⁠" Gabszewicz (benched)
Paweł "⁠reatz⁠" Jańczak (benched)

Just why

2020-07-13 17:07

Who

Good move to add rallen here. Now they are one move away (and practicing) from becoming decent team. In my opinion they should remove mouz and add more firepower, either F1KU or hades to take awp role and snax to move to rifler/2nd awp

Yo le noob, If you want to ad an awp, just take mhl, he's way better than f1ku or hades.

2020-07-13 20:33

Yo le not so good london. I never said f1ku should be added as awp. Learn to read le baguette

2020-07-13 20:36

Dear Mr. Le Noob, Before criticizing my London, I suggest you re-read what you wrote in your first comment, and then go to the Pasha London School. I will quote you: "either F1KU or hades to take awp role". A correct sentence to express your idea would be "either F1KU, or hades to take awp role". nt gucci

2020-07-13 20:45

nt baguette. I can see you did understand it, your keyboard was just quicker than your 60 IQ

2020-07-13 20:59

Dear Mr. Le Noob, This has litteraly no link with my previous comment. It's the classic low iq technique of changing of topic abruptly in a way that doesn't discredit you. Your name doesn't check out, you are a b/mad baiter.

2020-07-13 18:46

reatz is solid player, he maybe won't put up a huge numbers, maybe he won't make 30 kills, but when he really has to he steps up, and he is solid player. I'm sad that he is leaving Illuminar. They lacked some chemistry, but other than that they were pretty decent.
