dayV1D to coach Smoke Criminals in EU MDL
Matt "dayV1D" David, the American journeyman who's been coaching, analyzing and managing in North America and Australia since 2015, is taking his talents to Europe to coach Smoke Criminals for Season 29 of the MDL.
Starting his managerial career early, dayV1D managed multiple iterations of Kyle "OCEAN" O'Brien's teams including SKDC, AGG and KKona. He later switched to Ze Pug Godz before a brief stint managing Bulgarian squad Mortal Kombat as well.
After managing for almost two years, dayV1D decided coaching was the next role he'd like to undertake, beginning with Roy "StrongLegs" Ahad's team Insomnia, taking them through the MDL in Season 23. With his managing experience and now a season of coaching, he was given the chance to be an analyst with CLG.
Once his time was up with the organization, he took the next logical step and moved to Australia to coach Kings Gaming Club who later became ORDER. Seven months in Australia and his time was up there as well. Now after five months of limbo, dayV1D has found his spot in the EU MDL with Smoke Criminals.
The roster for Smoke Criminals now looks as such:
- Gauthier "Gauthierlelelele" Caron
- Enzo "Fearoth" Mestari
- Dilans "IainNy" Feldmanis
- Netanel "buue" Turnpu
- Peter "Inzta" Kragelund
- Matt "dayV1D" David (Coach)
Along with the addition of dayV1D, the team have also replaced Hugo "xaisty" Lindvall with Danish veteran Peter "Inzta" Kragelund.
Smoke Criminals can be seen competing Stream.me Gauntlet: CIS vs EU #23 as well as the upcoming season of the MDL.
