About Snax
Janusz Pogorzelski, known as Snax, is a Polish rifler and in-game leader whose career runs from the earliest days of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to the present. He was a key part of the Virtus.pro Polish lineup that won the EMS One Katowice Major in 2014 and ranked among the top four players in the world in both 2014 and 2015 according to HLTV. He later moved through mousesports, Illuminar and a series of smaller projects before returning to the top level with GamerLegion and G2 Esports, winning two BLAST Premier events with G2 in 2024. In 2025 he went back to GamerLegion, where Refrag reported he returned to lead the team as in-game leader. His long career and ability to adapt from star rifler to IGL make him one of the most enduring figures in the sport.
