Illuminar sign new roster

11/2/2021 - 21:00

The Polish organisation returns to the scene with the team formerly known as GROOBIES.

Illuminar have announced the signing of a new Counter-Strike lineup featuring former members of teams like AGO, Kinguin and Virtus.pro.

Mikołaj "⁠mouz⁠" Karolewski is the only player transitioning from the previous Illuminar roster, which was benched in December before the players dispersed to other Polish teams. He will be joined by Dominik "⁠GruBy⁠" Swiderski, Patryk "⁠Sidney⁠" Korab, Piotr "⁠morelz⁠" Taterka and Kuba "⁠Markoś⁠" Markowski, with Jędrzej "⁠Bogdan⁠" Rokita being in charge of coaching duties.

GROOBIES will represent Illuminar moving forward

The team competed in the European Development Championship Season 2 open qualifiers earlier this year under the GROOBIES tag, but failed to make it all the way, falling to their StylDunow compatriots in the Round of 16.

It is currently unknown when the team will debut under the Illuminar banner, but it shouldn't be long as the squad have already been invited to some of the major Polish championships and online cups, according to the Warsaw-based organization.

"Illuminar has a history in CS:GO and we are here to continue it," Fryderyk "Veggie" Kozioł, Illuminar's Head of Esports, said in a statement. "The previous lineup dispersed to other Polish teams, but we are extremely happy to retain mouz. GruBy approached the organization some time ago and we believed in his vision of success. After many years in his previous organization, he is now here to build a new legacy."

Illuminar are now:

Dominik "⁠GruBy⁠" Swiderski
Patryk "⁠Sidney⁠" Korab
Piotr "⁠morelz⁠" Taterka
Kuba "⁠Markoś⁠" Markowski
Mikołaj "⁠mouz⁠" Karolewski

Jędrzej "⁠Bogdan⁠" Rokita (coach)

nice

haahhaaahahhahaahahahahhaahhaahahahha

Polands Cs scene is so unstable to put it nicely , Just put all talents in a "best team"

Thats anonymo literally has teh best possible line up Snax the best active awper and secondary caller (literally the plays he makes recently are insane, he even mentioned he pays much more attention to his health nowadays) Kei was the biggest revelation of last year in polish cs Innocent was picked up by Mad Lions for a reason Mynio good material for igl, although he is often missing on t side Anyways this team has insane potential. Why? Cos of pistols. Mostly deagles. Really, the amount of ecos, deagle round they win is mindblowing. I havent seen a team that can constantly win those since faze clan.

2021-02-12 01:49

Complexity was the worlds best force buy team in when they had Obo. If you think its the best team i kinda doubt it since there are many other Talents such as Dycha that should be on the best team and rallen ect

2021-02-12 05:34

Dycha doesn’t play in Polish teams cuz he’s too good for the scene xD

2021-02-12 08:21

ez top10 poland

good looking branding

2021-02-11 21:38

Is that the Dangerzone guy?

2021-02-11 21:39

Yes

2021-02-12 08:10

another shit polish team with washed up gruby ggwp

I hope all this hate will only make them stronger, keep it up hltv users!

2021-02-11 21:41

hope so too

2021-02-11 21:42

gruby is best player in this roster, and one of the best pl players

2021-02-12 08:11

On this roster? Maybe. He's still really overrated and has never been on an actually good team

2021-02-12 10:06

He isnt overrated, good support and devensive player. One of the most UNDERratted players in PL

2021-02-12 10:10

welcome to tier5

highest rated 1.02

2021-02-11 21:45

cuz they didnt play for 3 months (or more for example morlez)

2021-02-12 08:13

pretty good team... let's go :D

2021-02-11 21:46

Polish CS always the same guys in different org's every other week kekw

2021-02-11 21:51

and you guys felt like this was worth an article?

news is slow these days

2021-02-11 22:03

I literally cant tell one polish roster apart from another. i always see the same gruby and all the other shits. Who cares.

2021-02-11 21:52

I do, what now ?

2021-02-11 22:08

who cares abt u

2021-02-12 09:12

Alot of ppl , but wait no1 cares about u , thats why u seek attention here u lil unwanted child :).

2021-02-12 10:32

Nice try kid, im a grown up. And ur polish toilet cleaners are tier 99. Only local babies like u care xD

2021-02-12 12:05

we both know u would never say that in front of my face cuz there would be ko in under 1 minute , so keep fighting here , all u can do really keyboard fighter.

2021-02-12 14:13

14yr stop shitposting

2021-02-13 09:08

Lativian talking about toilet cleaning lol

2021-02-13 06:08

Polish teams can't last for 1 year.

2021-02-11 21:53

VP?

2021-02-12 01:38

Rule exception. Also they ended up in bad terms!

2021-02-12 01:52

yet still the longest roster ever playing together

2021-02-12 11:09

Brazil teams cant stand with one roster for one year. Sometimes they change players in mibr 2 Times a year, sometimes some player want to leave tier 1 team to play with bro on tier 5

2021-02-12 08:14

if you're talking about hen1, he joined Furia in 2019 and left in 2021. Mibr trying to find a fifth can't be compared to whole scene switching players! The way polish teams swap players is almost a math combinatorial problem. I mean, some players seem good but there's something missing, maybe ego issues.

2021-02-12 12:34

idk bro, brazil have strong scene, but for sure weaker than cis or denmark. Sth about pl teams : its sad that we dont have any tier 2 teams we have many t2 players : Dycha, Michu, Snax, Innocent, Mynio, Sobol, Hades, Kei, Jedqr, Gruby, Mhl ( propably i forget about someone) this players should make at least one top 20 team

2021-02-12 12:38

I agree! players are good. Make a stable roster in long terms project. I think there's a pressure for a new VP. Maybe if a experient player like NEO would coach a mix of this players he could show the way to success.

2021-02-12 12:44

there is kuben, loord and imd. No need neo as coach

2021-02-12 13:06

I see all these Polish teams being on the same exact level as each other... All of them

2021-02-11 21:56

Anonymo is way above everyone else

2021-02-11 22:24

Based in these nine matches? hltv.org/results?team=10973

2021-02-11 22:50

Anonymo is a team that everyone in Poland expects to be the closest team in terms of results to old VP

lmao, did you even check the line up? go and tell me whats wrong

2021-02-12 01:31

not to mention they practice for few weeks see godsent? hltv.org/matches/2346346/godsent-vs-lyng.. the same argument here

2021-02-12 01:36

Who the hell is praising GODSENT here???

me, they are a good team

2021-02-12 01:43

expected

2021-02-11 22:01

i liked the team name GROOBIES better

topKeK :)

2021-02-11 22:06

Gl , Gruby is the best support player ever

2021-02-11 22:07

Unexpected. Top5 this year.

2021-02-11 22:14

in Poland ofc :D

2021-02-11 22:37

2021-02-11 22:19

they get this instead of snax innocent mynio kei kylar

2021-02-11 22:21

why would they sign this when Anonymo and styldunow are essentially orgless

2021-02-11 22:31

Anonymo is a new organization lol

my bad thought it was just a name the players picked

2021-02-11 22:32

its okay, it might look like that xD

styl Dunow is team without future and Mhl - contact with ago, michu - contract with envy

2021-02-12 08:17

Siema

BOGDAN was right

2021-02-11 22:45

tier 4 team

2021-02-11 23:00

what a dead team basically a team of players who got kicked from wisla, ago, avez etc lol.

2021-02-11 23:08

i have seen all these names before but i dont know who any of them other than mouz are

EZ for PROland

Full team of one of the most underrated players in Poland. Will be interesting to watch them :)

2021-02-11 23:46

+1 but the most underrated player ever is rallen

2021-02-12 01:53

atm he is fairly rated

2021-02-12 11:16

lmao

2021-02-11 23:57

gruby wat doink ;(

2021-02-12 01:01

What the hell? This is a constant juggle of players which never showed too much promise. In few months they will realize they need to be benched.

2021-02-12 01:03

Face of AGO to their rival

2021-02-12 02:31

Good Team but kick Sidney this guy is so bad

2021-02-12 05:22

2021-02-12 12:15

Polish CS players kind of illustrate Polish people in general: there are a lot of them in a lot of places but there is just so little quality in them

2021-02-12 12:47
