Legacy Captain on CS2 Talked About Team Adaptation and Progress as IGL at EPL Season
The new leader of the Brazilian Legacy roster for Counter-Strike 2, Andrey "arT" Piovezan, sat down with FURIA and spoke about the locker-room mood. He didn’t hide that long hours on the server are part of the deal — lots of reps just to keep his numbers up.
Return to Tier-1 and Hunger for Victories
Joining Legacy felt like a reset after a spell away from the big stages. It’s been only a month since the move, yet "arT" says things are clicking — the vibe is upbeat and CS is basically the daily conversation. Progress as an IGL is real, he claims, though he admits it’s not all neat and tidy; there are awkward bits, late-night tweaks, and constant tuning.
He talks about the roster with a mix of pride and impatience: extremely skilled players, hungry for trophies. But he’s clear that being in charge means more than calling plays — it’s about matching the team’s intensity, not just orchestrating it.
From Tactics to Intense Shooting
The veteran knows that a top-tier stratbook won’t carry you alone anymore. Lately he’s been grinding deathmatch — DM — obsessively, trying to sharpen aim and timing. He even laughs about the sweaty sessions, the kind that leave you gutted and oddly satisfied.
His Brazilian teammates show slick movement and sharp shooting; arT says he can’t trail them. So he practices the cold, clinical kills until it feels less like training and more like survival.
Battle for Leadership in EPL
On server evidence, some of this is paying off: in their ESL Pro League Season 23 debut, Legacy eked out a 2:1 win. Next up is a big test — a clash vs G2 Esports for a spot in the 2:0 bracket — pressure, hype, and everything in between.
On a related note, Duncan "Thorin" Shields, the British analyst, harshly slammed some of the roster moves in the French 3DMAX lineup, warning that booting a veteran and swapping the captain risks stripping away tactical personality and turning the team into a collection of aimers.
