daps: "I am looking to play again after my experience of coaching in EG"

Former coach of Evil Geniuses Damin "daps" Steele has opened up about the reason for parting ways with the organization. According to the Canadian specialist, the management did not allow him to make changes to the roster throughout the entire period of working with the team, and after the decision to exclude three players, they turned down his idea of building a new lineup around Keith "NAF" Markovic.

After reaching the 1 goal EG had set for us which was make the major we tried to use a sub for the major to maybe have a slightly better chance so we don't go 0-3 but that was also stopped as the understanding from EG was just to ride it out till the off season to make changes. We now have reached the off season and EG removes 3 players, I propose a roster with NAF as the center piece but that falls through for various reasons and I also inform EG at the same time that I do not want to coach anymore after my experience over the last half of the year.

In the future, Steele wants to continue his career in esports as a player and excludes the possibility of returning to coaching if he cannot make changes to the roster.

As for me I am looking to play again after my experience here I don't think I'd coach again unless I had some GM power to make changes to the roster. My contract ends on January 14th, 2022.

At the same time, the ex-coach of EG also supported Tsvetelin "CeRq" Dmitrov, who retained his place in the team, but has recently been criticized by the community because of the decline in his level of play.

I will say one thing as I see the community roast certain players more then others for EG's donwfall but CeRq out of all the players in this team put in a ton of time to try and get out of his slump by watching demos, playing the most out of anyone, asking questions, doing 1 on 1 demo review etc.. but the reality is that it was pretty much impossible to play well in this team with how dysfunctional it was.

Earlier, Evil Geniuses announced the signing of a new coach Damien "⁠maLeK⁠" Marcel, who, before joining the team, had coached G2.
