Media: Aurora to sign ash

According to unconfirmed reports, 35-year-old British esports athlete Ashley "ash" Battye will take over as the new coach of Aurora's Counter-Strike 2 roster. HLTV reported this, citing its own sources.

According to media reports, the coach has already signed a contract with the club and will officially assume the role after the conclusion of the ongoing IEM Cologne Major 2026. Sources also tell HLTV that Aurora's starting five will become international by the start of the new CS2 season.

Notably, ash departed the GamerLegion roster in early December of last year due to burnout. The esports athlete served as the club's coach for over five years. In April 2026, he ended his tenure with the organization and became a free agent.
