Team Vitality Coach zonic To Miss Gamers8

Vitality will have to make do without their head coach Danny “zonic” Sørensen at the Gamers8 2023 CSGO Championships

With their Gamers8 2023 CSGO Championship opener just around the corner, Team Vitality have confirmed that their head coach Danny “zonic” Sørensen did not fly with the team to Riyadh. Sørensen will be unable to attend the event because of family reasons, so assistant coach Mathieu “MaT” Leber will take charge of the team.

Unfortunately @zonic won't be with us this time, as he has to stay home for a personal event 💛

Instead we will have @MaT_CSGO behind our players, and as always we have @LarsRobl and @MatthieuPECHE there to assist our team as well. pic.twitter.com/0yUsBD3opA
