TaZ is a legend of the Polish CS pro-scene who came to Counter-Strike back in 2003. A curious detail is the long esports friendship between him and NEO, with whom they have been playing in the same teams since 2004.
He has played for ESC Gaming, Meet Your Makers, Frag eXecutors and Pentagram G-Shock. He was the captain of the legendary “golden five” (TaZ, kuben, NEO, LUq, Loord), which in CS 1.6 won all the big tournaments – WCG, ESWC and IEM. Moreover, this is the only team in Counterstrike’s history to be won by WCG three times (2006, 2009, 2011).
But in CS:GO, the Pole, like his teammates, did not immediately find his game. TaZ even thought about changing the discipline to LOL (League of Legends) for a while. However, after several replacements in the “gold lineup”, TaZ and company again broke into the top 5 best teams in the world. However, in 2017 the team stalled again, and TaZ left Virtus.pro. For TaZ, HONORIS is his current team.
This is the default TaZ’s config, the settings of which he often uses in important matches. However, to apply it in practice, you first need to download CS:GO in your Steam account
-freq 144 -tickrate 128
cl_crosshairalpha 1; cl_crosshaircolor 4; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshairgap -2; cl_crosshairsize 2; cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshairusealpha 1; cl_crosshairthickness 1; cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0;
These commands should be inserted into the console.
As seen from the video of the matches with Wictor’s participation, TaZ became a gamer that perfectly revealed powerful leadership and tactical inclinations. Thanks to this, Wojtas became a top captain and an excellent strategist.
TaZ is distinguished by reliability, excellent coordination with teammates, and high aim when playing as a rifler in support. All this made him a genuinely legendary counter striker.
Due to the strict privacy settings in the personal Steam account, it is impossible to find out the exact number of hours that the player spent on the shooter’s servers. However, as is the case with any professional gamer, this figure is in the thousand.
For TaZ, CS:GO has become an arena for showing excellent aiming skills. However, this skill can only be trained through regular playing on the appropriate maps with bots. The most popular among them is Aim Botz, which is quite versatile and perfectly adapts to the interests of the counter striker: you can spawn the required number of bots, program their location and movement, and add certain obstacles to the map. You can train anything on Aim Botz: AWP shooting, sprays, headshots, etc.
During his super-long esports career, the player was noted for participation in the following teams:
For TaZ, CS:GO has become a great way to make money: at the moment, the player is one of the wealthiest professional counter strikers. In addition to his salary, the prize money alone for his entire career has accumulated about $ 738,047.
For TaZ, CS: GO has become an important but not the only part of his life. Progamer is married and became a father in 2017. By his admission, he loves to relax while watching basketball games and with his family.
The 34-year-old Polish player was the first in the world to reach the mark of 2,000 played official CS:GO games.
He was named the sixth-best player in 2011 by HLTV.
The team of TaZ and NEO became an example of the most extended esports partnership, which lasted more than 5400 days: from April 8, 2004 (the day of signing in Team Pentagram) to February 6, 2018 (the day TaZ left Virtus.pro). The duo later played together for another 38 days with ARCY. They subsequently renewed their partnership, reuniting at the HONORIS club in 2020.
