Filip Borys Kubski (born June 15, 1987),[1] better known as NEO, is a Polish professional Counter-Strike 2 coach and former professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike player.[2] NEO is considered to be one of the best players in Counter-Strike history.[3] He was also one of the "Golden Five" group of Polish CS players.[4] Most recently he was the coach for FaZe Clan.[5][6] He has played for Virtus.pro, AGAiN, Universal Soldiers, ESC Gaming, Frag eXecutors, Vitriolic, Wicked eSports, Meet Your Makers, and Pentagram G-Shock. Kubski has been playing professionally since 2004.[7]

NEO is considered to be a mechanically gifted player, with an intelligent mind for the game. Kubski is also considered to be very good at Counter-Strike 1.6's in-game movement,[8][9] which makes him difficult to counter. In 2010, HLTV users voted Kubski the greatest Counter-Strike player of the decade.[10] 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.[11][12][13]
