North American outfit Team Coast sign German player Robin "ScrunK" Röpke as an official coach for the team during its current gambit in the various online leagues of the fall 2015 season.

Team Coast ventured into CS:GO by signing Orgless, a North American team comprising Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz and others who had formerly been playing under LunatiK, and gave the team some profile ahead of its competition in the ESL ESEA Pro League Season 2 and CEVO-P Season 8.

Coast currently hold a 3-4 record in ESL ESEA and a 2-3-4 record in CEVO, putting the team in the middle of the league's standings so far. Team Coast, an organisation known for its League of Legends team which made the LCS, has decided to take the next step and bring in a coach for the team to help it elevate its game.



Team Coast bring in ScrunK from overseas to coach the team

Coast have thus decided to bring in Robin "⁠ScrunK⁠" Röpke, a German and former myKPV.de player who was last seen attempting to bring together a team known as "-tba-", an experiment which quickly fell apart as its players went their separate ways.

This move is not the first time a player from overseas has been recruited to a coaching role in North America, with Gamers2's currrent coach Nikola "⁠LEGIJA⁠" Ninić coaching the Nihilum team earlier this year before that project went bust.

ScrunK provided a statement on the occasion, which sees the player move to a newfound coaching role:

"I would like to thank Team Coast and the players for giving me this opportunity to throw my EU knowledge and style into the NA scene. I am excited to see where this route in my career leads me and where I can help this team go," Röpke told HLTV.org.

As a result of this signing, Team Coast's roster is now:
