Devilwalk joins OpTic as coach

21-6-2016 18:17

Jonatan "Devilwalk" Lundberg has joined OpTic Gaming as coach, Damian "daps" Steele has confirmed on Twitter.

The news had been accidentally leaked by Oscar "⁠mixwell⁠" Cañellas on his stream last night as he showed a WhatsApp group chat with OpTic players discussing travel plans.

Jonatan "⁠Devilwalk⁠" Lundberg has been out of action since February, when he stepped down from Ancients, now known as GODSENT. At the time, he stated that he was taking a step back from gaming due to wrist problems.

Devilwalk returns to coaching

The 25-year-old is no stranger to coaching, having guided fnatic through one of their most successful periods, which included a Major title at ESL One Katowice 2015.

OpTic were the big sensation at the offline qualifier for ESL One Cologne, where they picked up wins over Fluffy Gangsters, FlipSid3 Tactics and HellRaisers. The Canadian team have been drawn into Group 4 of the Major, alongside Na´Vi, Ninjas in Pyjamas and FlipSid3.

OpTic Gaming's roster is now:

Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic
Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele
Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz
William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba
Oscar "⁠mixwell⁠" Cañellas

Jonatan "⁠Devilwalk⁠" Lundberg (coach)

Well it kinda got leaked but to confirm @DevilwalkCSGOD will be our new coach going forward.

devil walk might actually make this into a good thing, only problem atm, from what i see is that daps is very weak player.

daps carried in the major qualifier and now Devilwalk can take a load off his back, so the team can really improve with this move

Ez money for devilwalk and braindead move by optic obviously he wont have any input on the team, not even watching demons and stuff like that he will be more like a manager

2016-06-21 22:46

i wouldn't watch demons neither, im really scared of this kinda stuff

2016-06-22 17:37

Won't change anything at all, besides Dev1lwalk making money for sucking, basically his job since he became a pro.

well he did coach fnatic during one of their most dominant periods, from mid-2014 to mid-2015. Surely he knows what to do as a coach

2016-06-21 18:24

flusha said in a interview that devilwalk job was only make sure people got their flight tickets and hotel reserves. he didn't interfer in-game like vuggo does so yeah devilwalk never "lead" them. he was more like a spokesperson and manager than a coach.

link?

2016-06-21 18:41

How the fuck did he talk his way into this one?

shitty player coached fnatic but those times they had pronax and vuggo and it's obvious that he was useless. and decided to leave them lololol

2016-06-21 18:42

devilbot top1 cheerleader

LMAO RIP OPTIC They had such a bright future, what a shame

2016-06-21 18:44

Just hope it doesn't make the team worse. They've been improving steadily, I don't see how at this point they already needed a coach to improve further.

2016-06-21 18:48

more like "Devilwalk joins OpTic as couch" jk, best of luck for the guys! :)

Very happy for Optic. They needed a coach and this should help. I look forward to seeing how they do. With Optic starting to look good, Liquid with an improving roster, Cloud9 showing flashes, TSM showing flashes, and Echo Fox showing flashes, things are beginning to look up for NA gaming. Now, CLG has to do something so they can pull themselves back into the mix.

2016-06-21 20:04

Lol obviously just there for support no intelligence or input on the game of csgo. Ez money for devil
