With our preparations for the Summer Split of LEC in full force and a roster change announcement already behind us, we'd like to also introduce to you a few shifts in our coaching staff which will affect both the LEC squad and SK Prime, our second team which competes in the German regional league.As you are well aware, our return to the highest League of Legends competition in Europe was accompanied by some turbulent times as far as our coaching and analyst staff goes. After starting the split with Fabian "Sheepy" Mallant in charge, we had Ram "Brokenshard" Djemal move from SK Prime to LEC Head Coach and Andrei "Realistik" Ruse expand his responsibilities from being Head Analyst to joining the team on stage for picks and bans.Moving forward, Realistik is being promoted to the Head Coach position and we are welcoming Javier "Pyros" Calatayud as our new Analyst. We'll be looking to add an Assistant Coach as well - a position we are still recruiting for.With that said we are officially bidding farewell to Sheepy. We thank him for his contributions to our budding LEC team and wish him best of luck in his future endeavours. You can find his personal statement below:"When SK Gaming entered the LEC they contacted me being interested in my 4 year long LCS experience and specifically the success I had with establishing new rosters and brands. After initially building a talented team, I then focused on creating a strong structure, setup a winning training regiment and decided a clear vision for the team to follow.Although ultimately we didn't align with the same vision, I very much respect the work that's been done by everybody resulting in us reaching Playoffs in our very first Split. I wish the players and staff nothing but the best and hope SK Gaming will continue to grow and develop."Of course, we are not going to leave you without an update on Brokenshard as well. He stepped up to the big challenge of leading the LEC team when we needed him and did an admirable job of taking us to playoffs in our first LEC split. However, we mutually agreed that he will go back to coaching SK Prime as he has some unfinished business there, namely winning the next EU Masters.A big thank you also goes to Paul "Kanani" Khouani who briefly stepped in for Brokenshard in the past few months and led SK Prime to the second place in EU Masters Spring 2019.SK Gaming's League of Legends General Manager René Spanier said the following about the changes to our coaching staff:"Most of you already know that we have parted ways with Sheepy as we confirm today. After the first few months of working together it became obvious that his way of coaching wasn’t fitting our team so we had to make the tough decision to change our Head Coach. Even though it didn’t work out at SK Gaming I wish Sheepy the best for his next projects.For summer Realistik, our former Head Analyst, who was already coaching the team with Brokenshard in Spring will take over the Head Coach Position while Brokenshard will go back to being SK Prime's Head Coach. We already saw where Realistik's work led us and with more time we are sure that we can compete for a top 3 spot in Europe. Moreover, we are also looking to add more staff to support him. A first step has already been made and I’m really happy to welcome Pyros as our new Analyst."Expect further announcements as we continue to build up our supporting staff for the Summer Split and beyond. We'd like to thank all of the fans for the continued support so far this year and we look forward to getting back on the Rift with renewed focus and determination.
