dayV1D joins Kings as coach

7-9-2017 10:03

Kings have signed former head analyst of Counter Logic Gaming Matt "dayV1D" David, as head coach of the Australian squad.

The Australian organization Kings has been on an upward curve since signing their new roster in June, with former Immunity player Chris "⁠emagine⁠" Rowlands leading his crew to qualify for eXTREMESLAND ANZ Regional Finals, CGPL Spring, IeSF 2017 Australian Finals and win their first offline event at ESL ANZ Championship S4 Finals during the span of three months.

The Aussies have decided to bring in Matt "⁠dayV1D⁠" David, as their coach moving forward after assisting the team in securing the Unikrn Australian Showdown title win over the likes of Chiefs, following his departure from CLG as the head analyst for the past eight months.

HLTV.org has learned he'll be coaching the team online from the United States until Kings decides to obtain a gaming house and he'll only attend events with the roster if they qualify for any international events. Here is what dayV1D had to say on his new position:

"I decided to become the coach of Kings because emagine reached out to me a few months ago about his team and went into detail about his view on the Australian scene. He spoke about all of the young up and coming talent and the fact that more interest was being shown in the space. He asked me to try it out and I happily accepted. After my first practice with the team, I could see that the potential was extremely high, and I knew how I could help them reach it. I wanted to work with a new scene that has yet to reach its peak because I want to be a part of building up to it.

I am honored that the boys on Kings have allowed me the opportunity to work with them and help build a successful team that can compete internationally. I am not worried about who is or isn't the best team in Australia, which does not interest me. My focus is bringing structure, strategy, and preparation to the team. I believe with a strong system in place and everyone is in the same mindset, this lineup can accomplish great things, not just in this region, but globally. I have been working with the boys for a while now in my trial and after being able to perform as well as we have so far, my goal is competing internationally."

With his addition, Kings' current roster is:

Chris "⁠emagine⁠" Rowlands
Simon "⁠Sico⁠" Williams
Travis "⁠wizard⁠" Richardson
Jay "⁠Liazz⁠" Tregillgas
Jordan "⁠Hatz⁠" Bajic

Matt "⁠dayV1D⁠" David (coach)

Let's give a royal welcome to our new coach @dayV1Dlive, great to have you on the team! 👑#ForTheThrone pic.twitter.com/jB12YN7bVM

Immunity had one NA player? With all the time invested, it's time for OZ to figure out how to bring back a Major title using a proficient approach in building a top team.
