Joe "InnerFlame" Elouassi stepped down as Managing Coach of SK Gaming this past weekend and posted a statement to Twitter giving his reasoning for the decision.

Why I left SK Gaming. Read: http://t.co/7VY7ZIz3l4 — Joe Elouassi (@InnerFlameLoL) May 4, 2015

Elouassi cited differences of opinion between himself and the SK Gaming organization.

I was kept in the dark largely about what is going to happen to the team next split. I had a vision for what the team needed next split, some in the team agreed with me. However, what is going to happen is in the opposite direction and deeply saddens me.

Another problematic area was the lack of friendship among teammates which he believed led to a lack of motivation. In addition, Elouassi did not feel that coaching was his strongest suit and believed that his stint as a coach was not useful to the team.

Elouassi also stated on Twitter that he is not planning to leave eSports, but will be focusing on management roles and is not looking to coach again.
