Although hiring a new coach this late into the season may seem unorthodox, Luminosity’s performances of late have made it clear that they are not firing properly on all cylinders.
Despite coming into Stage 2 of the CWL Pro League as heavy favorite to make the Playoffs, they placed 5th with a mediocre 6-8 record, missing out on a postseason spot by a whole three games.
Against the four Playoff teams – OpTic Gaming, eUnited, UNILAD, and Rise Nation – LG went 2-6 with a combined map record of 13-22.
The players will be the first to admit that an improvement against higher level teams is essential if they are to find success at Champs.
The acquisition of FormaL in place of Octane has not yet paid off for LG, who have struggled since making the roster change.It is not yet clear who the front running candidates for the open coaching position are, but fans can expect LG to make a high profile move.
Some of Pro League teams that currently have coaches on their roster include OpTic (TeeP), eUnited (Saintt), and Splyce (MarkyB).
