Update (10:50 CEST): XomA took over as assistant coach; brain remains with the team as head coach.


Esports organization Aurora has announced another change in its Counter-Strike 2 roster: Andrey "XomA" Mironenko has taken over as the team's new coach.

Mironenko replaced Stepan "brain" Sivoronov, who had been coaching Aurora since April of this year. Prior to this, XomA worked with Virtus.pro for two and a half months – the club recently replaced him with Pavel "PASHANOJ" Legostaev.

Note that last month, Aurora replaced one player in its CS2 squad: Evgeny "r3salt" Frolov departed the team and moved to 9 Pandas, while Timur "clax" Sabirov filled his place in Aurora.

Aurora received a direct invite to the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 RMR, which will take place in November of this year. Currently, the roster holds 26th place in the ranking of the world's strongest Counter-Strike 2 teams according to HLTV.org.
