But for him personally, it marked the beginning of something else \u2013 a reset that arrived at the exact moment Counter-Strike was going through its most demanding era yet. The 2025 season is defined by relentless LAN travel, the pressure of VRS points, and, above all, the crucial event that will set the tone for the entire competitive landscape: the StarLadder Budapest Major.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GamerLegion approaches this Major mid-transition: rebuilding their identity, integrating new players, learning from mistakes, and quietly improving. And at the center of that process stands REZ, who has rediscovered a version of himself that the public hasn\u2019t seen in years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He says his passion for the game never left him; it simply became buried under years of internal instability and constant resets in NIP.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have always enjoyed playing CS, it\u2019s just that there were a lot of underlying issues in my time in NIP. There was always something happening that disrupted our progress. With me departing from NIP, I think it helped both parties. It helped me a lot mentally, to just start over with a completely different path in my career. I\u2019m happy I made this decision<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In GamerLegion, something clicked immediately. The environment gave him room to breathe, to speak, to lead \u2013 and he felt himself shift into a different gear entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I feel like I could take everything that I have learned in my past and implement it and \u2018showcase\u2019 it more in GamerLegion than what I could in NIPsomehow. I am a completely different player\/person here than what I was in NIP<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coach ash recognized that potential from day one. Their first conversations weren\u2019t about K\/D ratios or anchor positions \u2013 they were about responsibility and leadership. In a year where every LAN has VRS implications and where every BO1 at the Major can eliminate a team instantly, that leadership becomes crucial.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The big question first of all was obviously the new \u2018role\u2019 I would pursue with this team. I would be playing with a lot of younger players and I would be the guy with the most experience, etc. This means that I have to take much more responsibility and share more of my experience with the younger players. I have to take more control and be more vocal than before. This is something that excited me<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-212419\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Image-12.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Image-12.webp 1920w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Image-12-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Image-12-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Image-12-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Image-12-1536x864.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2025 Major season is tailor-made for experienced players who can stabilize their team under pressure, and that\u2019s where REZ\u2019s mental progress plays one of the biggest roles.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have worked with a lot of different performance coaches, and during my career I have learned a lot on how to improve my mental and handle tough situations<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the strongest components of this roster heading into Budapest is his synergy with ztr. Their story began in NIP, but the true version of their partnership has formed here, on a team where expectations are more grounded and roles are clearer.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ztr has grown a lot as a player from when I first met him, I think it\u2019s mostly because of the experience he has gotten throughout the years<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GamerLegion\u2019s system today is a mix of structure and freedom \u2013 a hybrid that REZ knows well and thrives in. The format of the Budapest Major rewards such flexibility: fast adjustments, mid-round reads, and comfort across map-pool edges.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have played under both systems in NIP, I think most of the times it\u2019s been structured freedom. And I feel it\u2019s similar in GamerLegion, but only that I have a bit more of a voice than before<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The roster itself is built on youthful firepower, and for a Major environment \u2013 where momentum and emotion often decide everything \u2013 that energy can be invaluable.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It feels very refreshing to have so many young bloods in the team, because they are all in the progress of molding themselves into the player they want to be. It\u2019s fun to see their thought-process and how they view CS<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of those young talents is Milan, the team\u2019s newly added AWPer. The Budapest Major will be his biggest test yet, but REZ already sees flashes of brilliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I really enjoy playing with Milan, he fits in really well outside and inside the game so far. I think the next step right now for him is to figure out how to make himself more comfortable and find his confidence. He is a really flashy player in certain moments and that\u2019s when I think he shines<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before Budapest, the team had one key checkpoint: PGL Masters Bucharest. Their run there brought both a first semifinal together and a painful reminder of their weaknesses \u2013 lessons that may prove essential in a BO1-heavy Major.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, I think Bucharest was a good event for us. We reached our first Semi-final together and we saw how good we could be and how bad we could be. I think we learned a lot, specially from the Aurora game. We struggle against these teams, and we are starting to understand why<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-213862\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/REZ_at_IEM_Katowice_2025-2.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/REZ_at_IEM_Katowice_2025-2.webp 1920w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/REZ_at_IEM_Katowice_2025-2-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/REZ_at_IEM_Katowice_2025-2-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/REZ_at_IEM_Katowice_2025-2-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/REZ_at_IEM_Katowice_2025-2-1536x1024.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a strong first half of the year, GamerLegion dropped in form, and just like many rising teams, they fell victim to expectations. That psychological dip defined much of their summer \u2013 and REZ sees it clearly.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think we started to put too high expectations on ourselves after the first half of the year. We started winning against pretty solid teams and made it to several playoffs, and with that we got a bit too confident, thinking that we should beat everyone. So it starting to hurt us extra much when we lost against teams lower than us<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now everything is focused on a single goal: arriving at the Budapest Major prepared.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have a lot of grinding ahead of us until the Major, we are going to bootcamp for 1.5 weeks to be as ready as possible<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He doesn\u2019t make any bold predictions. No promises of miracle runs, no loud declarations of intent. His expectations are realistic \u2013 and that honesty is part of what makes this version of REZ feel so grounded.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think we are still in the building phase, we are working a lot on finding our identity still, and making all the players comfortable. Realistically, I think we could make it to another playoff, but since it\u2019s gonna be a lot of BO1s, anything can happen as well. Every team is gonna feel the pressure, so I think the team that handles it the best will make it through<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For REZ, this Major is not just another big tournament. It\u2019s the first real checkpoint of his new path \u2013 the moment where the work of the past months either crystallizes or collapses. It\u2019s a chance to show the world the version of himself he feels internally: more mature, more vocal, more confident, and finally, unquestionably happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GamerLegion enters Budapest without the pressure of favorites \u2013 but with something more dangerous: a sense that their best CS is still ahead of them. If that version appears on stage in Hungary, it might mark not only a breakthrough for the team, but a defining moment in REZ\u2019s career rebirth.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Fredrik \u201cREZ\u201d Sterner left Ninjas in Pyjamas, the move looked like a natural ending to a long chapter.
