Snax: "The victory tastes very good"

We caught up with the MVP, Janusz "Snax" Pogorzelski, after Virtus.pro came out victorious at DreamHack Masters Las Vegas to get his thoughts on his and his team's journey to the title.

Virtus.pro began the grand final with SK with a loss on Cobblestone, but a strong showing on Train evened out the series. It came down to Mirage, where the Poles climbed back from a 8-12 deficit to clinch the title.

After the final, we grabbed Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski, who received the HLTV MVP by ZOWIE award, for an interview about the series.
