arki steps down as SAW's coach

Portuguese club SAW announced via its official website the departure of coach Omar "arki" Chakkor, as his place until the end of the season will be taken by Daniel "NABOWOW⁠" Brito, who worked as team's analyst for a year and a half.

Chakkor took over the roster last July, replacing Rui "vts" Soares. During this period, the 33-year-old Spanish coach helped the roster to secure victories at Elisa Invitational Fall 2022 and several regional events, as well as compete at ESL Pro League Season 17.

According to the press release, the reason for these changes is the team's poor performance at recent tournaments, specifically the recent RMR event, at which SAW suffered three losses and placed last.

NABOWOW⁠'s will debut as a coach at ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe, where the Portuguese will face the winner of the match between Into the Win and HEET.

Current  SAW lineup:

 Ricardo "⁠rmn⁠" Oliveira
 Christopher "⁠MUTiRiS⁠" Fernandes
 Tiago "⁠JUST⁠" Moura
 Michel "⁠ewjerkz⁠" Pinto
 João "⁠story⁠" Vieira

 Daniel "NABOWOW" Brito (coach)
