Once, GuardiaN was known as one of the best CS:GO players in the world. He was a Slovakian AWPer extraordinaire, and you simply couldn’t talk about the best players in the world without mentioning his name.
But after three lost Major Grand Finals, being bounced from team to team, and declining performance, GuardiaN’s legacy is in question.
Is it too late for GuardiaN?

He's seriously my favorite CS player of all time. And this video is fucking too much for me.
F for Guardian 🤧🤧😭😭😢
I feel really bad for him, even though he tried his best, he did not get the result.
That loss to C9 still gets to me everytime I watch it, that FaZe roster shoulda gone down as one of the greats
Smutné no tip guardian
Please comeback legend 😭
this is one of the most depressing storylines in cs history
Due to his high individual skill I dont think he will retire. Yes, its hard time for him rn, but almost evevy cs pro player had this downfall in their career. + CS is a team game, where mostly your team skill and some luck matters,so after finding good teammates + average time playing as a team may result in winning major, so its not too late for Ladislav.
No matter what, he will always be my fav <3 . I started awping when i saw him <3 he's the best <3
In 2014-15 the discussion of the best awper was guardian/kennys, 2016-17 guardian/fallen, 2018-19 guardian/s1mple/device. Just shows you how insanely consistent this guy is as a top tier AWPer
Maybe we see him Rule Valorant?
what a video man made me all emotional and shit
I truly hope guardian finds a team where he wants to belong and that he can win the major some day
Kenny might have a way better peak, but overall to me Guardian is the most stable and consistent AWPer in CSGO history, he could go aggresive like kenny, go for unpredictable plays like s1mple, hold angles like device, position himself like fallen, doing all of those consistently for years is absolutely amazing. Best overall CSGO awper IMO
Even though I considered GuardiaN as ‘eh’, I want to now see him lift that damn Major trophy that should’ve been his years ago.
Can you please link the song that you used at 3:09? It was used in the kjaerbye and the zonic video aswell I think. Im addicted to it
I miss him. He's one of my favorite csgo players of all time 😥
If Zeus can do it, so can he. Unfortunately, team games have the potential to throw many greats under the bus. Look at American Football. Greats such as Calvin Johnson and Barry Sanders never winning the Super Bowl
❤❤
Man, this brings back memories when I used to play CS:GO and kept up with the pro scene until I switched over to LoL. Boston Major is still one of the most heartbreaking yet incredible majors of all time.
I would've dug that Dig roster like four years ago
he had most kills with awp in a major… but its not enough i miss faze guardian
@TheScore Can we please get MaikELELE on here!!! PLEASE <3
🙁
first video of you i actually cried. well done.
Dont tell me Im not the only one crying here
hes the goat of awp
It's acutally sad…. he deserves it. I think that if he would win that major just once. It will be the memory that blinks before his last breath. He doesn't have it and maybe he won't ever get it. However we all know he deserves it and he will be remebered as one of the best awpers in the game.
Zeus should get fucktons of credit for helping GuardiaN out to go from a really good AWPer to one of the greatest. The way he allowed GuardiaN to play back on NaVi really gave him the space he needed.
FaZe will be my last home
Leaves FaZe and joins NaVi
i started playing cs go after i watched a random navi game that guardian hard carrried back in 2015
i remember watching cluj napoca live
he knew every single enemy position
and he hit every single shot he took
i remember watching mlg next
it broke my heart
his injury and his long underperformance eventually made me lose interest in the game itself
watching this, i reminisce it all and it makes me tear up
he was an absolute beast and a motivation
i know him winning a major isnt likely by any means but god i wish it could come true
really?/.did u followed him from 1.6 to source?? he was a AWP GOD for more than a Decade.. I learned playing C.S watching His videos of Reason Gaming with .PHP
Poor guardian
BRING BACK THE OLD FAZE CLAN WITH GUARDIAN THAT COMPETE TO FINALS AND HE WILL GET THE MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP. #FaZeUP
When Paul Chaloner interviewed GuardiaN with his hand around him I FELT THAT 🥺
My theory is that skadoodle should be banned for IBP scandal so the title would be taken away from c9 and goes to Faze
Everytime CS:GO
He should have stayed in Faze instead of olofmeister imo, I think he could have gotten back to his level (he often carried them in 2018 besides Niko)
what to you mean Dignitas is not a major contender, wtf. stfu, dont come here with such disrespect.whether theyre major contenders or not respect the names on that roster please.
I watched that overpass awp kills live. Guardian was awesome! I hope for him best! Thank you, Guardian.
