Tempo Storm Announces New Coach, zakk
Tempo Storm recently faced a setback with the departure of their former coach, Luis “peacemaker” Tadeu. However, they wasted no time in finding a replacement and have now introduced Rafael “zakk” Fernandes as their new coach.
Meet the New Coach
In a recent streaming session, zakk and his players interacted with fans and answered questions about his new role as the coach of Tempo Storm.
Changes in Leadership
Surprisingly, zakk revealed that he would not be handling the in-game leadership duties. Instead, that responsibility would be passed on to Ricardo “boltz” Prass.
“I am not going to be the in-game leader,” zakk said on the stream. “peacemaker was the guy who made the calls inside the game, but the guys do not want that.”
Looking Ahead
At 25 years old, zakk has had an extensive career in professional Counter-Strike, playing for various teams, including Keyd Stars.
Tempo Storm has been performing well in recent events, securing top-three placements. Most notably, they achieved second place in the MLG Americas Minor 2016 Finals, which earned them a spot in the ESL One Cologne 2016 qualifier.
