YouKnow takes over as 3DMAX coach

11-7-2025 20:02

The French organization decided to promote from within following wasiNk's departure.

3DMAX will begin the season with a new head coach

3DMAX have announced that they are promoting assistant coach Pierre "⁠YouKnow⁠" Marco to head coach, filling the void left by Damien "⁠wasiNk⁠" Dufour's departure last month.

wasiNk left 3DMAX at the end of the season after over a year in charge, stating in a post on X that he and the team "simply weren’t fully aligned anymore."

YouKnow officially joined 3DMAX's backroom staff in March, though by that point he had already been working with the team for some months. He will be assisted by former team analyst Alexandre "⁠AlexTopGoal⁠" Lorentziadis, who had left the organization in May.

Currently ranked 14th in the global VRS, 3DMAX have a very busy month ahead. They will travel to Serbia to compete at FISSURE Playground, after which they will have trips to Germany and Saudi Arabia for IEM Cologne and the Esports World Cup.

Neither of them were known for their strategic leadership. Besodes, nbk still has not retired, and shox is a streamer, and both would be very expensive compares to Youknow and AlexTopGoal

You're right; the team wasn't qualified, and they didn't want to play under Wasink due to ego reasons. It's a shame because he was an improvement for the team.
