Filip Kubski, (born June 15, 1987) better known as NEO, is a Polish player of the Counter-Strike series who is an AWPer and Rifler for Virtus.pro. NEO is considered one of the best players in Counter-Strike history[1][2] and one of the "Golden Five" group of Polish CS players who won many tournaments with a number of different esports teams.[3][2] He has also played for AGAiN, Universal Soldiers, ESC Gaming, Frag eXecutors, Vitriolic, Wicked eSports, Meet Your Makers, and Pentagram G-Shock. Kubski has been playing professionally since 2004.[4] He and TaZ has been playing professionally together for more than a decade[5][6][7]. He, along with TaZ, kuben and Loord have won more "Majors" than any other player in Counter-Strike 1.6 history[8].

In addition to being a great aimer and highly intelligent player, Kubski is also highly regarded for his mastery of Counter-Strike 1.6's in-game movement. His ability to perform difficult movements and access areas of maps that are unreachable by most[9][10] make him unpredictable and difficult to counter. In 2010, HLTV.org users voted Kubski the best Counter-Strike player of the previous decade.[11] He also won the eSports Award for eSports Player of the Year in 2007 and 2008, and was rated by HLTV.org as the best player of 2011[12]

Virtus.pro and NEO appeared in the Intel Extreme Masters Season X - Katowice World Championship in 2016 and got 5-8th.[13][14]
