1. Venom Vipers after their first two matches in ESEA Open10
date: 13/04/2025, author: sequ3r
Venom Vipers are just one of many partners representing Poland in the lowest tier of the ESEA League — ESEA Open10. By way of comparison, this season we have as many as five partners in this division. At the start of the league, four opponents are always drawn to face. In the league phase, 14 matches are usually played. In the first 4 ‘rounds’, Venom Vipers faced teams such as:
- 🇩🇿 DPL,
- 🇷🇺 ChGGaming,
- 🇩🇪 DieBesessenen,
- 🇵🇱 7ty2
No, this is no joke. The DPL players are actually from Algeria; they even have verified profiles on the FACEIT platform. Venom Vipers have already played two of the four matches listed above.
The first match played was against DPL, which they managed to win 13-8, and the match featured the Polish national map, Mirage. The first half ended 7-5.
- 13:8 vs. DPL, Mirage
The match was played on Monday, 7 April at 8.30 pm. The next match is against the Russian team ‘ChGGaming’ on Wednesday (9 April) at 8.30 pm. Our team also secured a victory in this match, although it seems the opponents put up more resistance than the previous rival. The entire match took place on the Nuke map, and at half-time the score was tied at 6–6. Ultimately, however, Venom Vipers won the match 13–10.
- 13–10 vs. ChGGaming, nuke
Venom Vipers will play their next match this coming Monday, 14 April at 20:30. Their opponents will be the German team “DieBesessenen”, who have also won their first two matches.

2. Horizon Esports ends the first week of ESEA Intermediate with a 1-1 record
date: 18/01/2025, author: BambikXDE
The 52nd season of ESEA Intermediate is well and truly underway, and most teams have already played their first two matches. Among these teams is our partner – Horizon Esports, who finished the first week with a 1-1 record.
Their first match on Tuesday was against the Russian team AllEyesOn. It was a tough encounter, which went to the players from the East.

The second match on Wednesday was less exciting, but this time due to the Poles’ dominance. They won 13–7, finishing the first two matches with a 1–1 record.

3. Imperial Dragons make transfers.
date: 25/01/2025, author: Adrian Skillz
Following a mediocre season in the VPG Poland second division, Imperial Dragons have decided to significantly strengthen their squad in order to fight for promotion in the next season of league competition on the Polish virtual club scene. At present, we know of three new players, whom we present below.
The Dragons’ new signings:
- Mateusz “HPL_Maati” Mordon, who began his WK career at the age of 14 and is now 30, is a former experienced captain of HooligansPL. He is set to help ID in their quest for the best possible results on the virtual pitch, playing in the centre-back position.
- Maciej “MaciekM95” Mordon, who despite his young age already has nine years of playing experience under his belt and, together with his older brother, is set to form a centre-back partnership; he is also a former HooligansPL player.
- Bartosz “Buba92x” Zasuwa previously played for Black Walkers, a club that disbanded following a failed attempt to secure promotion to the second division in the VPG Polska league. When asked why he chose the Dragons, he replied that he was guided by the stability of the project, as Imperial Dragons is a well-known club on the Polish scene that guarantees this.

4. NSQ with a knife to his throat
date: 17/03/2025, author: sequ3r
As well as competing in the ARRMY Open S12 league, NSQ is also taking part in the “Amateur Server League” tournament, where they are currently faring worse than in the aforementioned ARRMY. The tournament is played using the Swiss system, meaning teams with a record of 3-0, 3-2 and 3-1 advance to the next phase, whilst those with a record of 0-3, 1-3 or 2-3 are eliminated. Unfortunately, NSQ have suffered two defeats, which means that a loss in their next match will see them eliminated from the tournament.
- 8:13 vs. BlackMonkey, anubis
- 1:0 vs. YSN, walkover
- 4:13 vs. Team Kvas, ancient
Although the map results do not bode well for NSQ’s chances of reaching the playoffs. We firmly believe that they will quickly shake off this poor form, and that Neptyk Squad will get back on track and start winning, which will result in them advancing to the aforementioned playoffs. NSQ is currently awaiting their opponent, as not all matches in the current round have finished, and the draw for opponents always takes place after the round has concluded.

5. SLAKE on the home stretch of ESEA Intermediate
date: 18/05/2025, author: BambikXDE
We recently reported on how SLAKE were fighting to secure a place in the playoffs (more HERE). At that time, they failed to win their final match, which would have guaranteed them a place in the playoffs in Group B. They had two more chances this week.
First chance at the playoffs – SLAKE vs The One
The first chance to secure a place in the next stage of the competition was a match against the German team The One. It took place on the de_ancient map, which our team quite likes, but their opponents usually ban. SLAKE started pressing and taking the lead right from the start. Later, the opponents made up some ground, though not enough to pose any real threat to the Poles. Our partner ultimately won the match 13-7 and secured their place in the Playoffs in Pot B, where they will be able to fight for a spot in ESEA Main.
| SLAKE |  |
13:7 | |
The One | | | Ancient | |
Intermediate S53, Round 11 |
Battle for Group A – SLAKE vs Albin The Gang
Although a place in the Group B play-offs has been secured, the battle for Group A remains, where promotion to the higher division is guaranteed. To achieve this, our partner must win all three remaining matches, suffering no more than one defeat. The first opportunity to get closer to the goal was the match against the international team Albin The Gang. The action took place on the de_nuke map, which is probably the map played most frequently by the SLAKE team this season. In this clash, SLAKE suffered a rather crushing defeat, losing 3-13. Due to this loss, our partner must win their remaining two matches without suffering any defeats to have any hope of reaching Group A.

6. YNG SKiLLZ bids farewell to its 1v1 representative.
date: 28/05/2025, author: sequ3r
Hardly anyone is playing Ultimate Team mode in EA Sports FC 25 at the moment. Certainly, if anyone is still playing this mode, they can be considered a true fanatic and a ‘die-hard’. It depends on the version, but some players are able to walk away from this mode after just a month due to poor gameplay and updates that often ruin the game.
Kuba “c0me” Jaszczak has so far represented YNG SKiLLZ. So far, because a few days ago he decided to leave YNG SKiLLZ and will no longer represent the team. From the organisation’s post, we can learn that c0me will continue on his own, without being affiliated with any team. We wish him the best of luck. On the Polish scene, whether professional or semi-professional, it is quite common for a player to represent a club or organisation. Although this is quite common, it seems that a few years ago there were more players representing teams (even amateur ones).
Kuba has received invitations to the EA FC Pro Ladder qualifiers on several occasions.
YNG is one of those semi-professional teams that has not abandoned this practice. Although, looking at the standard of some YNG players, one can safely say they are already aspiring to a professional level.
7. Angry Wolves, Ignite Esports and The Bulls Team will take part in ProLeague Polska.
date: 15/05/2025, author: sequ3r
A few days ago, the teams for ProLeague Polska were announced. There are no partners in the second division, but there are several in the first. We have already written about Iron Ravens, YNG SKiLLZ and The Separatists. This is mainly because these clubs are linked by their participation in the OG League. However, apart from these teams, there are three more squads that do not take part in the OG League but will compete in the first division of ProLeague Polska.
The Bulls Team is a must-have in the top division. Last season, they managed to finish in 2nd place and came very close to winning the championship. We’ll see if this season will be similar, or perhaps the curse of second place will finally be broken and we’ll see The Bulls Team with the trophy?
Angry Wolves will also be playing in the top tier of the ProLeague Polska. The team that secured promotion to the VPG Polska first division and to the second phase of the VPG Miami League — but we’ll be writing more about that in a future article.
Rounding off the list of partners in these structures is Ignite Esports, who also secured promotion within the VPG Polska structure, though not to the first division as in the case of Angry Wolves, but to the second. The team also took part in the VPG Miami League, but failed to secure promotion there.
We wish every partner the best of luck in these competitions, and here are the participants from the partner programme:
- Ignite Esports,
- Angry Wolves,
- The Bulls Team,
- YNG SKiLLZ,
- Iron Ravens,
- The Separatists

8. Team Fairus advance to the playoffs Game Knights
date: 28/05/2025, author: BambikXDE
We recently covered Team Fairus in the Game Knights group stage. Back then, they managed to achieve a 1-1 record over two matches (more HERE). Now, however, we know whether they ultimately secured a place in the playoffs or ended their tournament in the first phase.
The next match on the schedule was against the ‘Alcoholics’ – and that’s not our insult, the team called themselves that. This match was played in a BO3 format and we saw three maps full of excitement. The first map chosen by our partner was Anubis; there was plenty of excitement here, but in the end it was the result that counted, and that went Team Fairus’s way. The second map, chosen by the opponents, was Mirage; this was a very one-sided affair and the opponents won it 13-1. The decisive clash took place on Ancient, and after a full 24 rounds, our partner proved to be the better side, securing their second victory and leaving them just one win away from qualification.
| Team Fairus |  |
2:1 | |
Banda Alkoholików | | | Anubis 13:8 | Mirage 1:13 | Ancient 13:11 |
Team Fairus were left with one last chance, which they wanted to make the most of. The problem was that their opponents had no such intention. Ventus Team, as the opposing side is known, forfeited the match, and our team secured their place in the playoffs, where in the coming days they will face an opponent they are already familiar with: Horizon Esports.

9. YNG SKiLLZ invited to the European League.
date: 18/05/2025, author: sequ3r
YNG SKiLLZ has been invited to participate in the ProLeague.de European league. Our partner has been drawn into Group E, where they will face VFC Charisma, The Growl and Shadow Banditos FC. Shadow Banditos FC is known for its performances on the Polish scene, so it’s a bit of a strange situation that we effectively have two Polish teams in the same group. It’s true that Shadow Banditos FC has been designated as an ‘international team’ in this tournament, but still.

10. The Separatists in the OG League & ProLeague Polska
date: 13/05/2025, author: sequ3r
A few days ago, a profile presented the teams in the ProLeague Polska first division. Among these teams, of course, are a few of our partners. Today, however, we will focus on The Separatists, who will be competing in this league. There are 12 teams in the top division, exactly half of which are our partners.
The Separatists will face:
- YNG SKiLLZ
- Iron Ravens
- Ignite Esports
- Angry Wolves
- Shadow Banditos FC
- OM3N eSports
- Angry Panthers
- Dach Esport
- Spirit.us
- Cunning Foxes
- The Bulls Team
The Separatists are competing on several fronts: ProLeague Polska, the VPG Miami League and within the OG League. Yesterday, the draw for the first knockout round of the OG League took place, and our partner were drawn against an opponent called CWL Esport.
A week ago, we wrote about Matchdays 3 and 4 of the OG League’s second division, in which The Separatists compete. (click here to be redirected)
In a nutshell, The Separatists certainly won’t count their early days in this league as a success, but after Matchdays 5 and 6, there was a light at the end of the tunnel.
In Round 5, they faced Wewiórki Izika away from home. Unfortunately, The Separatists’ poor form was evident in this match as well. They lost, albeit after a fight – 2:3.

The run of defeats and draws simply had to be broken. And so it was — in the match against 4FUNGAMING, The Separatists added 3 points to their tally following a 4–3 victory.

11. NSQ bids farewell to 3 players
date: 04/05/2025, author: sequ3r
NSQ announced via its x.com profile that, as of 2 May 2025, it had terminated its cooperation with three players from the Counter-Strike 2 division. The players in question are Alanekkk, Piorun000 and Majaczki. A few days ago, Axemis left the team; to be precise, the incident – for that is what it must be called – took place in April, and NSQ announced this on 15 April. In a nutshell, Axemis left the team, and the reason for this decision was the reactivation of his own project/team.
Currently, things aren’t looking good for NSQ’s CS2 roster; only Chaszczyk2 remains, and the project faces crucial days ahead that will dispel any doubts you and we may have as to whether the project will continue or end with a typical Polish underground conclusion.
Current CS2 roster:
🇵🇱 Chaszczyk 2
🇵🇱 Anasik (coach)
