lmbt departs Monte

DemQQ is now the only Ukrainian member of the squad.

lmbt has been Monte coach since January 2023

Sergey "⁠lmbt⁠" Bezhanov has parted ways with Monte, the Ukrainian organization has announced.

The move leaves Sergiy "⁠DemQQ⁠" Demchenko as the sole home-nation player Monte alongside four Poles and former 9INE coach Piotr "⁠nawrot⁠" Nawrocki as an assistant.

The mix, who primarily communicate in English as DemQQ learns Polish, narrowly missed out on a Shanghai RMR berth after losses to B8, ECLOT, and KOI.

"Well we had insanely bumpy road during this time in Monte," lmbt said on Twitter. "It was a nice rollercoaster, I’m thankful to every player I worked with here same as to every staff member. I truly believe this roster will grow to where it belongs. And I'll find a new job soon."

The veteran coach, who also stood behind MOUZ and HellRaisers before the pandemic, was Monte's head coach since January 2023 and guided them to first place at ESL Challenger Jönköping late that year.

He was not present, however, when Monte made the Paris Major playoffs due to war regulations in Ukraine.

Monte are now:

If kuben joins Monte its GG as he is great in developing teams due to his strict strategy involvement but Monte needs someone else. Maybe nawrot will be promoted to head coach and that would be great imo as he has great cohesion with guys. Something kuben didnt have in ENCE

nah, he probably just has trouble with speaking polish and once kuben was available, it's a no-brainer. Judging by the fact Monte released a video where you can hear comms were they were switching between polish and English comms, demqq might get replaced soon too

Before monte: - demqq wasn't heard of since his days in Akuma. His career was over. Thanks to Monte he got to play in Major playoffs (briefly) and now is a good prospect for any T2 team; - lmbt was without work, and without a proper team for two years. Probably would've been retired by now; - sdy and woro without a team, and not looking that great. sdy in Ence now and woro, well, woro is in the same spot he was before monte - playing in a mix-team. Sure, they could've handled things better, but they had a good run and ukrainian scene is better for it.

I don't fucking understand it. Monte spent so much time branding themselves as a Ukrainian org, had an amazing Ukrainian roster whose motivation aligned with the vision of the org and then... Benched half the team, brought in a Polish majority. For what? Losing your fanbase? Completely ruining your Identity as a Ukraininan organisation? You could've brought in a bunch of UA youngsters and that would've been a better PR move than this, even if they didn't win shit

someone from monte staff (don't remember if that was the ceo) once told that they indeed could buy him, but didn't cuz he lacked LAN experience. In their opinion he was too expensive for an unproven player, but they still could've and likely should've risked. Well, now we'll see how he performs on LAN
