snax: 去年一些队伍请我去当指挥,但是我还没准备好
In an exclusive interview with HLTV, Janusz "Snax" Pogorzelski shares why he declined multiple competitive offers in 2022 and why he now feels ready to make a tier-one return with GamerLegion.
在hltv独家采访里,snax告诉我们为什么他在2022年拒绝了很多队伍的邀请,然后现在加入GL。

decline,取消
It's been almost four years since EMS One Katowice 2014 Major winner and four-time top 20 player Snax last had a contract with a top team following the end of his long tenure with the Polish Virtus.pro in 2020.
拿下14卡托以及四个top的snax上一次现身于顶级赛事还是20年的时候,他当时结束了在vp的长跑。
tenure,持有的时间。
Since then, the Pole has only played one big tournament in mid-2022, when he helped ENCE reach the grand final at IEM Dallas. It was a successful stand-in stint that earned Snax the opportunity to trial for the team a few months later, when they were looking for a replacement for Lotan "Spinx" Giladi, but that chance slipped away with ENCE signing Valdemar "valde" Bjørn Vangså instead at the time.
在此之后这个波兰人只在二二年参加了一次大赛,他当时帮助ence在iem达拉斯一路杀到总决赛。他作为替补很成功,在接下来的一两个月也受到了(ence)邀请,当时他们在找人填补spinx的空缺。但是最终是valde加入ence。
stand-in,替补,临时上阵,救火。
opportunity,机遇
replacement,替换
It took Snax another year to finally make his return to top competition. Last week he was announced as GamerLegion's latest signing, replacing Sanzhar "neaLaN" Iskhakov as the team's in-game leader just weeks before he and the team make their appearance at the first big Counter-Strike 2 LAN at IEM Sydney.
snax又花了一整年才回到顶级赛场。上个礼拜他宣布加入GL,替换掉nealan的指挥。他们之后就要开始打CS2的第一个线下大赛,iem悉尼。
announce,宣布
appearance,出现
Explaining to HLTV why he didn't feel ready to return to top competition until now, Snax begins in a somewhat roundabout fashion. He recalls his brief time with MOUZ in 2018, which ended after just four months due to a "clear mismatch in chemistry" between him and the rest of the team at the time featuring the likes of Tomáš "oskar" Šťastný and Miikka "suNny" Kemppi.
snax向我们拐弯抹角的解释为什么他当时没有打算重返一线。他回忆一八年在老鼠的短短四个月因为“没有化学反应”草草收场。
roundabout,拐弯抹角
chemistry,化学
"In mousesports I was told I would have different roles but I ended up in a situation that I didn't sign up for. After that episode I want to be more safe with the things I choose because I don't want to be stuck in a position where I don't enjoy the game," Snax explains. "I would rather join a team where I enjoy positions and what I'm doing rather than getting a lot of money."
“在老鼠(他们告诉)我要换个队内角色,而我不认。在那段时候之后我对队伍的选择更加谨慎,因为我只想要享受比赛。”snax说,“我宁可不赚钱也不要去一个死气沉沉的队伍。”
situation,状况
sign up,签
The Pole shares that it was for this reason that he decided not to accept two offers last year from teams "in the top 15, even one in the top 10" to become an in-game leader. It is a role he had fulfilled before, even in his Virtus.pro days on occasion, but never in an English-speaking roster.
他告诉我们就是这个原因导致他在过去两年隐身于一线赛场,甚至拒绝掉"top15甚至10”队伍的报价。他之前就在打指挥,但是他在vp没有用英语交流。
on occation,时不时地
"After ENCE some teams wanted me to be the IGL, but I wasn't ready. I said instantly to them that I don't think it's going to be good for now, because I needed to see how it would work and if I can adapt fast to this role. So I declined some offers," he reflects on the period in the latter half of 2022.
“在ence之后有很多队伍想要我去指挥,但是我没准备好。我直接跟他们讲我现在去不太好,我需要观察一下他们的体系,然后我看看我能不能适应,所以我拒绝他们。”stax跟我们反应他二二下半年是这么样的。
reflect,反射,反应
Instead, Snax finished out 2022 playing alongside ex-Finest, an international team that went on to disband due to a lack of organizational support, and going into 2023 he formed another mixed roster, Let us cook. During this time he established a relationship with fellow Pole Jędrzej "Bogdan" Rokita, who coached the two international rosters and who ended up putting Snax on GamerLegion's radar after becoming their new assistant coach in July.
snax整个22年都在exfinest打,这是一个没有组织买的玩家们组成的国际阵容。在二三年,他加入大厨队。在这期间他跟这两个阵容的教练,波兰佬bogdan建立联系。他在帮助snax加入GL之后成为了助理教练。
alongside,陪着
lack of,缺少,没有
establish,建立
relationship,关系
Snax said at the time of joining Let us cook that he doesn't "think it's the time for me to be the IGL" because of the English component, but through roster changes he fell into the role just a few weeks later anyway, and it was this experience that ended up making the difference when GamerLegion came knocking seven months later.
在加入大厨队的时候,snax认为“还不是时候去指挥”,因为英语还是有点难。但是阵容的变化让它变得更加具有经验,他也有充足的信心接受gl的邀请。
"When you are a player you can say some small rounds that you want to play when you have a feeling, but when you're an IGL you need to think every time and you need to do it fast, because timing is everything in CS. Whenever I stop using English, it's getting sturdy a bit, and I think it's the same when you're an IGL. But I was doing it for seven months and I would say I'm ready," he says.
他说:当你是普通队员的时候你只能在很有信心很有感觉的时候提意见,但是指挥可以直接告诉队员自己的想法,因为时间很重要。当我不讲英语的时候我觉得更稳,尤其是打指挥的时候。但是我已经讲了七个月的英语了,而且我现在觉得我没问题。
sturdy,稳
"I actually enjoy it. I like to say a lot in-game and in the past years, when I was really good at CS, it was a time when I was calling a lot as well, even before Virtus.pro I was mostly IGLing in my teams."
“我很享受指挥。过去的几年,我打游戏很多话要说,当时我还是顶尖玩家,当时我也说很多话。在更久之前的vp我也是个指挥。“
As if his task wasn't tall enough already, Snax's signing to GamerLegion comes at a time of the switch to Counter-Strike 2. Like many, he belongs to the camp that believes the game has been released prematurely, but he sees good signs when it comes to his new team's approach to Counter-Strike 2 and what value he can bring with his experience.
接手指挥已经够难了,他现在还要适应cs2的节奏。跟大家一样他也认为这个游戏还是半成品,但是当他的新队伍接触更多的cs2的时候他的经验就相当有用了。
prematurely,不成熟
mature=成熟
value,价值
"I can see already some players like the game, or maybe not like but they are good at the game, and I think they are really open-minded. We talk about CS2 and how we should approach it. The mechanical side is going to change and you need to adapt to it, but some of the things, rules, are going to stay, because it's still kinda the same game."
”已经有很多玩家爱上新游戏了,虽然他们可能打得不好,但是我觉得他们思想十分开放。我们谈过cs2以及如何开始cs2。机制在改变,适应机制是一个重大任务,但是规则还是不变的,因为基本上这还是一样的cs。
approach,接触
mechanical,机制,机械
"I hope I will develop the guys with some of my experience. I hope I will also learn something from them. I think there's potential, but you need to work with it," Snax shares. "People talk more here. This is the big change from tier two and I like it, but to improve it you need to have a fully clear TeamSpeak, to fix all of the rules you have in the game. To make it clearer and understandable for everyone, it should be done with some keywords, rules, and it's gonna get so much easier."
“我认为我可以让这些小伙子利用我的经验进步。我也希望从他们那里学到很多。我认为我们很有潜力,但是我们要努力才行。人们谈论我如何从二线队改变回来的,我也很喜欢这样。但是如果要进步的话,我还需要更清楚的交流。为了让大家理解,我觉得我会制定一些关键字,规则,这样交流就没障碍了。”
develop,进步
potential,潜力
teamspeak,队内交流
understandable,可以理解的
As for his expectations, they are tempered when it comes to the here and now — IEM Sydney will start just over two weeks after his signing was announced, after all — but long-term Snax hopes his legacy doesn't end with CS:GO.
他期望两个礼拜之后的iem悉尼会展现出队伍的状态,但是从长远的看,他也不希望自己在go的历史不要真的成为历史。
legacy,遗产
announce,宣布
"It's a really big opportunity to overcome new heights in CS2. It would be great if I can do something more, win some tournaments after I first started winning 10 years ago. I know I need to take time, I need to grind a lot, especially when it's a new game."
cs2带来更多机遇。如果我能给队伍带来更多是很好的。但是在远离赛场这么久之后,我需要磨合一下,尤其是对于这款新游戏。
grind,研磨
"I was enjoying playing CS:GO and I think I was a small part of it as well with some things, and I hope I can do the same in CS2."
我很喜欢玩csgo,我认为我在这款游戏里很成功了,我希望也能在cs2展示风采。
