kassad joins Valiance as coach

13-6-2018 19:30

Valiance have announced that former Renegades coach Aleksandar "⁠kassad⁠" Trifunović has been hired to guide their CS:GO team.

The 31-year-old had been on the lookout for a new challenge since stepping down from his role with Renegades, last month.

This will be kassad's fourth coaching stint, after previously guiding Wolf, mousesports and Renegades. He spent over a year with the Australian team, whom he led to first-place finishes at two Asia Minors and at the StarLadder i-League Invitational #2.

kassad will coach Serbia's strongest team

Currently ranked 35th in the world, Valiance were last seen on LAN at the Qi Invitational, where they lost to GODSENT in the semi-finals.

In Valiance, kassad will reunite with compatriots Luka "⁠emi⁠" Vuković and Nestor "⁠LETN1⁠" Tanić, with whom he attended IeSF World Championship 2016, where iNation finished top eight.

"I am delighted with the fact that I have the chance to work with Valiance for the remainder of the year," he said in a statement.

"I have been approached by several other organisations, but I have decided to work with Valiance. I genuinely believe in their general plan and vision they have established.

"A huge plus is definitely the fact that I know these players personally. I am looking forward to working with them in order to succeed in accomplishing the goals we have set together."

With kassad's addition, Valiance's roster looks as follows:

Anel "⁠NENO⁠" Ceković
Luka "⁠emi⁠" Vuković
Nemanja "⁠huNter-⁠" Kovač
Nestor "⁠LETN1⁠" Tanić
Aleksa "⁠Impulse⁠" Stankić

Aleksandar "⁠kassad⁠" Trifunović (coach)

Nexa to vali comfirmed

2018-06-13 20:01

Prob - emi

Kassad is back!

2018-06-13 20:03

I don't think this changes anything, they will stay stuck in top 30/40. If they bring in nexa than hopefully they could to do some more damage.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about Valiance, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to Valiance over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
