GuardiaN to play on as BC.Game trial new coach

After first stepping in as a temporary replacement, the Slovakian is leaving coaching behind to keep playing.

BC.Game have announced the addition of Benjamin "⁠cube⁠" Stabell as their new coach on a trial basis.

The new signing means that Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács will remain on the playing roster as the AWPer. Previously the team's coach, the Slovakian veteran stepped into the roster temporarily following the benching of Guy "⁠anarkez⁠" Trachtman, but now he looks set to return as a player for a longer period.

"The organization asked me if I want to play the AWP role," GuardiaN has told HLTV. "I was considering it for quite some time and I ultimately decided I would give it a shot, as I feel like I can still deliver some numbers for the team."

His replacement in the coaching position, cube, is mainly known for his time coaching fnatic Rising and Copenhagen Flames at the end of CS:GO and Secret earlier this year. He previously played on various lower-level Danish rosters since 2015.

In his previous experiences as a coach, cube mainly worked with younger teams, but will now stand behind a team full of tier-one play behind them.

"It's going to be a completely new experience for me working with a team of veteran players and I couldn't be more excited to get started," he said in a statement to HLTV.

"Coming into this team I will bring my qualities in creating a strong team environment and a healthy work culture. At the same time with the lineup being relatively new we need to take the steps of creating a solid foundation on our maps before going into the player break next month."

BC.Game have:

Jonas "⁠Lekr0⁠" Olofsson
Aleksandar "⁠CacaNito⁠" Kjulukoski
Luca "⁠pr1metapz⁠" Voigt
Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad
Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács
