At the end of the week, Peter «stanislaw» Jarguz announced that he intends to extend his hiatus from playing for Evil Geniuses. He was previously expected to join the team at the ESL Pro League Season 14 tournament, but now the place of the in-game leader will have to be taken by coach Damian «daps» Steele.
In a comment that Jarguz posted on his Twitter, he explained that this decision was due to accumulated mental and physical fatigue: «After our team played in Europe for a long time, under the mandatory quarantine restrictions associated with international flights, unfortunately, I did not feel the positive effects of the break as I expected. To be honest, I'm not psychologically ready for more international travel and competition performances».
Stanislaw mentioned that he plans to spend the coming weeks at home, avoiding physical and mental stresses. That said, he expects to be back in the lineup on the eve of the BLAST Premier Fall. He also said that he appreciated the support from his teammates and Evil Geniuses management for giving him the opportunity to extend his break from performing.
