Improving Coaching Staff with Rigby and LirA
Rigby joined AFS in May for the 2020 LCK Summer Split, and his coaching abilities have been highly regarded by the organization. His outstanding performance in strategy and analysis has earned him a contract extension, ensuring his presence on the team until at least 2021.
As for LirA, he has had a diverse career in the League scene, competing in both the LCK and LCS. In addition to his playing career, he has also participated in the LCK Analysis Desk in 2020, showcasing his exceptional analysis skills. He previously joined the first iteration of AFS in 2015 as a player and is now returning to the organization as a coach for the first time in his career.
