Lunarmetal named Knights new head coach

The North American esports organization Knights has announced a reshuffle on the coaching bridge of the Rainbow Six roster. As a result, pikniq left the team, replaced by Lunarmetal.

pikniq has been the head coach of the Knights for the past two years. During this time, the 20-year-old Australian specialist helped the team win APAC South 2021 - Stage 2 and Oceanic Nationals 2022 - Stage 1, as well as reach the finals at the Six August 2020 Major - Oceania, Oceanic Nationals 2020, APAC South 2021 - Stage 1 and Oceanic Nationals 2021 - Stage 1.

After two and a half years with the Knights, the team and I have come to the mutual decision to part ways. After listening to the team's decision, I decided to leave Rainbow Six. I always thought there was no point in competing in Rainbow Six if I didn't give my all and see improvements. I want to take the opportunity to explore my options and test myself in a different environment.

Special thanks go to my teammates who have been a huge influence in shaping me into who I am today. They challenged me and pushed me to work harder as a coach and as a person. Finally, I would like to thank the Knights organization, they trusted us from the very beginning and continued to support us through our ups and downs.
