Private Probleme: Coach Lastshadow und Gravity Gaming gehen getrennte Wege

Kurz vor der zweiten Woche des NA Summer Split 2015 gehen Gravity Gaming und ihr Head Coach Nick ‚Lastshadow‘ de Cesare getrennte Wege. Der Hauptgrund dafür seien laut Gravity Gaming private Probleme von Lastshadow.  Wie schon in der vergangenen Woche wird David ‚Cop‘ Roberson am kommenden Spieltag das Team als Coach unterstützen. Ob Cop in den nächsten Woche zu einer Dauerlösung avancieren wird oder es bald einen neuen Headcoach geben wird, ist aktuell noch nicht bekannt.

Statement Gravity Gaming:

Hey guys,
People have been asking about why Cop was on stage for week 1. We want to communicate to everyone what’s happening with our previous coach, LS. We recruited LS early in the Spring split, and he helped us improve our fundamentals of rotations and general macro play. He was an invaluable asset to why we went from a Challenger team to a playoff team. Moving forward towards the summer split, we brought Cop into a coaching position at his request to help give LS a hand teaching the players. We would have liked to have LS continue improving our team moving forward to summer and future splits, but he had to allocate some of his time to real life problems that emerged. It’s cruel for us to expect Nick to be working the long hours we need in an understaffed organization. In addition, other opportunities have come up that would better coincide with the out-of-game issues he’s resolving.Gravity management and players all hope Nick overcomes his real-life hurdles, and we certainly hope he keeps pursuing his career in League of Legends. Thanks for everything!

Statement Nick ‚Lastshadow‘ de Cesare :

Hey everyone, here’s my post on the Gravity tweet. As some of you may know, I am no longer coaching Gravity for the summer split. It has been fun transitioning from Korea to coaching a newcoming LCS team. The spring split was okay, but moving into summer split multiple curveballs outside of the game were sent my way. Gravity was expecting me to continue working the rigorous hours from spring split due to being understaffed. I found this to be inefficient since both parties expectations were not being met. I’ve began entertaining other opportunities that would better accommodate me while I handle my real life turbulence. I hope to see Gravity continue their success moving forward. In coming days I hope to be able to announce some good stuff and as I stated earlier this week I will be lowering my rates temporarily and resume public coaching. I want to thank everyone who had supported me thus far and for Gravity to have been so awesome with everything. I truthfully hope they do really well and I know Cop will do a great job at helping them do that. To those wondering I will still be staying in NA.
