Astral Authority manager and coach resign

Astral Authority announced that their Manager, Mellina Kong and Coach, Kristine Hutter would be resigning from their respective positions in the organization.

Astral Authority released a press release that detailed the transitions after Mel and Vaalia submitted their letters of recogniotion. 

After speaking at length, both parties have agreed to a bittersweet departure to continue their growth in the Heroes of the Storm scene.

While a new coach has yet to be announced, Taylor "Burt Macklin" Brust was named the new manager of the Heroes of the Storm team. Brust was previously with Team Name Change and Peter Dinklage and will be picking up where Mel left off. On top of management changes, Astral Authority also announced that they would be releasing Kladeous from his contract.

The reasons for his release surround team cohesion and play styles. Kladeous remains a top player but simply did not fit well with our team dynamic. We hope to see him continue his professional career.

To fill the gap after the release of Kladeous, Astral will be picking up Equinox again with hopes that this will help the team in future competitions.

This news comes after Astral's disappointing performance in the Burbank Fall Regional last week where they lost 0-2 to Naventic, and 1-2 to Denial in the losers bracket.

I want to personally thank both Mel and Vaalia for committing wholeheartedly to this team in the past and wish them the best of luck moving forward. - From the Desk of John Kelly, Chief Operations Officer.
