If you have been involved with the game League of Legends for a long time, you must be no stranger to the name Riot Jatt – the analytical Caster of the LCS North America tournament. He started as a professional player and has been connected to the tournament for about 7-8 years as a Caster, with almost no changes. And now, after so much upheaval and drama about the new roster, Team Liquid has made a very surprising decision: “Invite Jatt to be the head coach of the team.”
Speaking a little about Jatt, he often takes on a secondary casting role in the commentary team and leans towards analysis, similar to the role that Caster “Linh Count Tank” and Minh Hảo are performing in the VETV Caster team. In addition, for major events like the Mid Season Invitational or the World Championship, Jatt will sit at the analysis desk with other analysts or alongside the hosts. Moreover, Jatt is a huge fan of Team SoloMid – a team that has not been performing well recently despite having a strong economic potential and a glorious past.
Thus, with Jatt being promoted to head coach, the former head coach of Team Liquid, Cain, will be demoted to a more strategic coaching role during this critical time. Although it is the North American team that achieved the most success in 2019, this team only ranked 9th in the LCS Spring 2020 and had to undergo significant roster changes.
Last week, the ongoing drama surrounding Doublelift as he accused the coach and Jensen of putting a lot of pressure on him, while Impact had some influence but was not significant. Meanwhile, the person Doublelift is most grateful to is owner Steve along with jungler Broxah, who helped him during tough times.
Moreover, Doublelift transferred from Team Liquid to Team SoloMid, a fierce rival both competitively and commercially. Meanwhile, Jatt is a huge fan of Team SoloMid but has joined Team Liquid, which will spark many humorous stories but also raise concerns within the North American League of Legends community. In fact, many people even jokingly say: “Jatt is the spy that Team SoloMid sent to Team Liquid,” or “The friendship between Jatt and Team SoloMid has officially ended here.”
Jatt is very excited about his new role, however, the challenges are not small at all. Let’s wait and see how Jatt’s debut in the Team SoloMid colors will turn out in the near future!
