1-11-2023 15:46

Vitality's former coach and sports psychologist have landed in Falcons.

zonic begins a new chapter in his coaching career with Falcons

Falcons have officially announced the additions of coach Danny "⁠zonic⁠" Sørensen and sports psychologist Lars Robl, who join the team after a successful stint in Vitality during which they won the BLAST.tv Paris Major.

zonic had been in the French organization since the beginning of 2022 and is seen as one of the greatest coaches in CS:GO, if not the greatest, having led Astralis to four Major titles before claiming the aforementioned fifth Major trophy with Vitality.
