GODSENT to use messioso as coach

The ex-ESL League Operations Specialist will take the spot of interim head coach while Alexander "⁠rdl⁠" Redl, GODSENT's current coach, adopts a role as assisting coach.

pronax & co. will be looking to go deeper with the help of messioso

The addition of messioso comes after talks between Markus "⁠pronax⁠" Wallsten and rdl concluded the team could use more analytical insight to fulfill its potential. Several statements were given by the involved parties:

With a background in statistics, analytics and sports coaching it was a natural progression to apply this to Counter-Strike. With GODSENT I think everyone can see the potential they have and I am really looking forward to working with rdl and the guys these next few weeks. The one and only ambition right now is to qualify for and perform well at the Major. It will take maximum effort from all involved to get there but I am sure we can rise to the occasion.

- Graham "messioso" Pitt

For me it’s all about the team it’s also my conclusion, it would be a great advantage for the team to bring in more analytical resources. I know Graham well, and I am very positive about the set-up. I will help Graham out all ways possible, and I am confident that we will see a very strong and well prepared GODSENT team for the coming tournaments.

- Alexander "rdl" Redl

We haven’t met our own expectations, and it has been obvious we needed a deeper analytical insight, which I think all will agree Graham Pitt brings. It’s a strong move to bring Graham in at this time, and I look forward to working with him. The competition is fierce, and it will require for all to step up, but I am confident, we can move this team to the next level and become a strong contender again. Not only short term.

- Markus "pronax" Wallsten

GODSENT currently stand eighth in ECS's third season and as of now will be seen next at the PGL Major offline qualifier, which is set to kick off on June 29. Ahead of that, messioso and the rest of the team will be hard at work to try and get the Swedish team up to par to qualify for the PGL Major in Krakow next month.
