This is episode one of three about LEGIJA's career. LEGIJA began his native German scene playing for the likes of DkH with some familiar names. In early CS:GO he found his way to MOUZ, who had an international roster with players like chrisJ and allu. He almost qualified to the first ever CS:GO major at Dreamhack Winter 2013 but lost narrowly to cadiaN. The event which got it started for him offline was a play-off run at Gfinity G3. In 2015 MOUZ had a run to fourth place at ESEA S18 LAN finals, defeating Cloud9. The following year would be about a move to the US and playing for NRG. The best result was a win over reigning major champions EnVyUs at Counter-Pit S2 and the squad also competed in ELEAGUE S1. gob, tabseN and LEGIJA moved back to Europe to form BIG. An immediate final at Dreamhack Leipzig was promising. That summer the team won the EU Minor to qualify for the PGL Krakow major. There they 3-0'd the swiss phase and made the play-offs only to lose in close fashion to eventual finalists Immortals. In 2018 LEGJIA took a step back into a coaching role and BIG made the final of ESL One Cologne. They also cracked top eight at the following FACEIT London major. Throughout the years he had coached a number of teams, including autimatic's Nihilum and Kinguin/G2, the latter making top eight at the ESL One Cologne major. LEGIJA now coaches in VALORANT and had a dominant run in the Pacific region last year. In part one, LEGIJA talks about hustling in the early LAN days, meeting future team-mates like tabseN and gob b, some LAN successes, moving to the US to play for NRG and forming BIG and going on a run at the PGL Krakow major.
