Filip “NEo” Kubski is without a doubt one of the most skilled players to have graced the Counter-Strike stages of the 2000 decade even more in CS:GO era. After some years in which Poland did not field any good team, the creation of Pentagram in 2004 with the junction of the country’s two best teams at the time, Aristocracy and SpecSter, greatly reshaped the scene there. 

In that year, Pentagram showed a taste of their game, winning Invex Europ Cyber Cup in the Czech Republic and LehnitzLAN in Germany, beating more experienced teams like D-Sky and mousesports along the way. 2005 brought the team’s first big win abroad as they conquered SEC, but they would have to wait until 2006 to confirm they belonged to the elite, when they won WSVG in London and the WCG event and finished third at CPL Winter. 

However, not everything was shiny for Pentagram that year, as Kubski left the team in July in search for some action elsewhere, having returned less than two weeks later. The following year did not bring many trophies but it did bring two world championships: the Intel Extreme Masters and the ESWC. 

If you add to that the second place at SEC then you see why Meet Your Makers, the richest organisation out there at the time, raided Pentagram for their team later that year. The year of 2008 saw Kubski help MYM win their second ESWC title and the Dreamhack Summer trophy, plus a second place at SEC. 2009 would be one of the Polish team’s best years, as they won DTS Cup, WCG, finished second at the Extreme Masters Global Finals and GameGune and placed third at the KODE5 Global Finals. 

Currently without an organisation to support them, Kubski and the former Pentagram team look as strong contenders for every title in 2010.
