For the first time in his history, Cloud 9 will not be at the World Championships this year. Despite a year 2020 in which it temporarily reached a level that scared everyone, including teams outside of the LCS, the team missed its final sprint.
We will surely never know the precise reasons for the collapse of the roster, but the leaders decided that change was needed. And this change took the form of a departure, that of Korean coach Bok " Reapered " Han-gyu, after more than four years of collaboration.
"[I am] looking for a new opportunity, being currently a Free Agent. Open to teams from all regions. Looking primarily for a Head Coach position but also interested in more focused roles on business such as Chief governance officer. Send your offers to Reapered@outlook.kr and thank you for your interest ".
What new challenge for Reapered
On the networks, the former Cloud 9 coach declared himself free-agent and free of any contract. He is ready to explore any offers that will be sent to him in the future and hasn't been demanding about the location. In addition, if he has extensive experience as a Head Coach, he is ready to take on other more operational roles in the affairs of a structure.
Difficult to guess its future destination. As a Korean, he also speaks English and has already worked in China (Edward Gaming). We can assume that with his success and his pedigree, he could be of interest to more than one. However, it will be necessary to wait until the end of the Worlds for the top teams to start their transfer window.
It's not impossible that he will turn to Korea because, on the T1 side, coach Kim Jeong-soo has left office and hasn't yet been replaced...
