Virtus.pro announced Wednesday it has terminated the contract of Jaroslaw "pashaBiceps" Jarzabkowski after five years with the team.

The 30-year-old Polish player said he will explore other options in CS:GO.

"Virtus.pro has been my home for many years, but now it's time to move ahead and make a next big step for me," pashaBiceps said in a statement. "Thanks to everyone and good luck to the new guys. I will take a small break, but Papito will be back like Terminator -- better and stronger."

pashaBiceps is one of the most celebrated Counter-Strike players of all time, with a career spanning more than a decade.

In December, VP temporarily ceased competitive operations and ultimately revamped its active lineup. The Polish organization moved pashaBiceps and Piotr "morelz" Taterka to inactive status and released Filip "Neo" Kubski.
