Xoma joins Aurora's staff after short VP stint

13-9-2024 10:48

The former 9 Pandas coach is on his way to link up with clax once again, but brain will remain as head coach.

XOMA was only given 33 maps behind Virtus.pro before he was removed

Andrey "⁠Xoma⁠" Mironenko has found a new home in Aurora after his unfortunate time in Virtus.pro ended after just three months, five events (excluding Spring Final, which he missed) and 33 maps.

At Aurora, he joins the backroom staff led by Stepan "⁠brain⁠" Sivoronov and will be an assistant coach as the squad gears up for their attendance of the European RMR in Shanghai.

The analyst role is one the Counter-Strike 1.6 veteran has done before, in teams like Gambit Youngsters, Winstrike and Entropiq, but there is no doubt it is a step back after Xoma stood behind a top ten team for the last few months.

Dramatic r3salt-clax swap finalized moments before 9 Pandas' RMR qualifier campaign

Denis "⁠deko⁠" Zhukov and company in Aurora qualified for the RMR despite dramatically losing star rifler Evgeny "⁠r3salt⁠" Frolov to 9 Pandas — Xoma's former team — just hours before the qualifier.

That deal was completed via a swap deal with Timur "⁠clax⁠" Sabirov going the other way, a player who impressed in his 15-month spell under Xoma's tutelage with the Pandas.

Aurora are now:

Russia Timur "⁠clax⁠" Sabirov
Kazakhstan Viktor "⁠Lack1⁠" Boldyrev
Russia Evgeny "⁠Norwi⁠" Ermolin
Russia Aleksandr "⁠KENSI⁠" Gurkin
Russia Denis "⁠deko⁠" Zhukov

Russia Stepan "⁠brain⁠" Sivoronov (coach)
Russia Andrey "⁠Xoma⁠" Mironenko (assistant coach)
