Epsilon eSports will be parting ways with their roster's coach and manager, Christian "chrille" Lindberg.
The Swedish team has lost yet another member this month following the loss of William "draken" Sundin to the Ninjas in Pyjamas, this time with the announcement that Epsilon's coach and team manager Christian "chrille" Lindberg has been removed. The Swede has served as a coach with them for over a year, having been brought on board in March of last year after a relatively unsuccessful career as a player with Desperados, and has seen the team through to a number of wins including first place finishes at WCA and Pro Gamer League Summer. Epsilon CEO Greg Champagne has the following to say about his removal:
“
Although the CSGO team wanted a fresh vision of tactics for themselves, this was an extremely difficult decision. Christian is a hardworking and genuine person, pumped up behind his team all the way. He brought a team from the unknown status, to one of the top teams in the world. This alone is not a small achievement. I’m sure that one day our paths will meet again!”
Lindberg himself also issued a personal statement of his own on the matter:
“
I don’t even know where to start. I’ve been a part of the Epsi family over a year and it’s a time I will always remember. I had the privilege to coach Swedens top talents and players with tremendous experience. I’m convinced the team will manage to reach the Major soon and the players who left for new adventures will for sure raise the finest trophy soon. A special thanks to Greg, Samy our sponsors and all in Epsilon for all the support I have received from you. A new chapter begins for me now with new challenges and it’s something I look forward to extremely much. Keep your eyes open!”
