Andrey "⁠B1ad3⁠" Gorodenskiy has become the new coach of Gambit, who have loaned the Ukrainian from FlipSid3, the Russian organization announced.

The veteran has been loaned to Gambit until the end of September. Over that period, the Kazakh-Russian squad will attend four offline tournaments: IEM Shanghai, DreamHack Masters Stockholm, the FACEIT Major — where the team will compete in the New Challengers Stage —, and ESL One New York.

This will be B1ad3's second foray into coaching, as he previously stood behind HellRaisers (who then featured Mihail "⁠Dosia⁠" Stolyarov) at CS:GO's fourth Major, DreamHack Winter 2014.

Gambit have played without a coach ever since Andrey "⁠Andi⁠" Prokhorov departed the team in early June. With B1ad3, they will attempt to improve their results after last-place finishes at their last two big tournaments, ESL One Cologne and StarSeries i-League Season 5.

It's unclear what the move means for FlipSid3, whose last offline tournament took place in January (ELEAGUE Major New Challengers Stage). Since then they only took part in online competitions which amounted to no success, as they failed to make it through various qualifiers and were relegated from ESEA MDL in Season 27, in March.

Gambit's lineup now looks as follows:
