At just 17 years old, Oldřich “PR” Nový is establishing himself as one of the most promising new faces on the Counter-Strike scene. Signed by GamerLegion in January 2025 from MOUZ NXT, the Czech prodigy has quickly lived up to the hype at the highest level.
After iM was sold to NAVI for an estimated $900,000, siuhy to MOUZ, isak to Ninjas in Pyjamas, and more recently FL4MUS to Virtus.pro for around $1 million, PR is shaping up to be the next major sale from GamerLegion’s renowned talent scout, Ash.
A Fast Track to Tier 1
Before joining GamerLegion, PR was part of the MOUZ NXT academy team, where he posted an average rating of 1.13. That breakout stint opened the door to the tier-1 scene, and GamerLegion wasted no time securing his signature.
Since arriving in early 2025, PR has continued to impress. Over his first 100 maps with GamerLegion, he averaged a 1.11 rating, 1.15 impact, and nearly 79 ADR — stats that reflect a playstyle that’s aggressive, efficient, and decisive.
His LAN performances recently put him in the spotlight :
- IEM Katowice 2025: PR drops a 1.82 rating masterclass against Astralis
- PGL Bucharest 2025: Dominates Falcons with a 30–13 K/D and 1.76 rating
- IEM Cologne 2025: Helps eliminate Virtus.pro with a solid 1.52 rating
His coach, Ash, had this to say about PR in a BLAST.tv interview back in January:
His mechanics are exceptional… unbelievable potential… I think eye-test wise he’s a no-brainer.
Enough said.
GamerLegion: Talent Factory & Smart Seller
At the heart of GamerLegion’s project is Ash, an exceptional coach and talent scout. Since joining the org in 2020, he’s built a unique model: spotting promising young players and surrounding them with a few seasoned veterans — like REZ (27) today.
After only six months in the team, PR already stands out thanks to his in-game IQ and versatility. He handles demanding roles — T-side extremity and CT anchor (except on Mirage and Overpass) — while maintaining high impact, in contrast to the more passive playstyle of many riflers in those positions. These are the kind of traits that make him a genuine contender for a top-5 roster.
Conveniently, GamerLegion specializes in high-value sales. Both iM and FL4MUS fetched around $1 million following standout performances at Major events. Other notable sales include Snax, isak, siuhy, and even mezii — sold to Cloud9 in 2019 for just under $100,000. Remember that?
Two elite teams that could fit PR’s profile:
- FaZe — as a potential replacement for Rain
- Falcons — though that would require reworking NiKo’s role (taking the lead) and giving PR more freedom.
With a meteoric rise, a rare all-around profile, and stats that already rival top-tier competition, PR is the embodiment of GamerLegion’s model: raw talent identified early, developed with care, and prepared for the elite stage. He’s likely to be GamerLegion’s next blockbuster sale.
If his growth continues at this pace, PR’s name may soon appear on the shortlists of top-5 teams looking to challenge Vitality’s dominance.
