Kuben out, LUq back to MYM with pionas

ImageOnly a few days ago it was announced that MYM was removing Lukas 'LUq' Wnek due to the bad results the team had lately. Shortly after, it was rumoured that LUq was back in, with Jakub "kuben" GurczyƄski being replaced Filip "pionas" Pionka which has been made official today.



MYM clarified their earlier remove of Lukasz 'LUq' Wnek was a hasty decision due to the upcoming Dreamhack in less than two weeks. This means LUq is back in the team as he "brings more to the table" according to Wiktor 'TaZ' Wojtas. They now also added the former Frag eXecutors player Filip 'pionas' Pionka to the team, who's been part of the Polish scene for a long time already and even though he doesn't have as much international experience, they believe in him.

Below you can also read two statements of TaZ, Loord and LUq about the whole situation.

"In our attempt to find the reasons behind our bad results, and lack of team spirit outside the game, we took a hasty decision and removed Lukas last Friday. We did so because we wanted to be in time for DreamHack which is in less than 14 days.

After cooling down, we have thought the situation over once again, and we feel that Lukas can bring more to the table than Jakub can.

Jakub has been a core part of our lineup for more than two years, and he is a good friend to all of us. Unfortunately we feel that we have to exchange him to be able to develop in the future.

The old fans of us, know that we have always had problems and arguments when changing our roster. This time was not different.

To replace kuben we have taken in pionas, and we feel that he brings with him a thirst, commitment and a hunger that can motivate us even more.

We would like to address the accusations of this change being reasoned by company pressure; it can be said simple: it is OUR choice. We felt we had a problem, a problem that couldn't be solved with words alone. Actions speak louder than any word and we hope that we can already show you some of the NEW action at DreamHack in 12 days!"

Lastly, we would like to thank kuben for all this time with us, for his dedication and effort he put in the team. He was a great player and good friend, we wish him all the best in his new way of life.

Sincerely,

Wiktor 'TaZ' Wojtas, Filip 'NEo' Kubski and Mariusz 'Loord' Cybulski"


This is what LUq had to say about back and forth with him:

"It might be hard to understand what’s going on inside the team, however it was pretty normal for me. We had a lot of arguing and problems in those past 8 years of playing, but there's one thing that made us stick together - it's CS. And I have no bad feelings towards the team at all. It's time to look forward and we will work very hard to get back on top. I would like to thank all who supported me at this time - it meant a lot for me and made me stronger for sure."
