ATK Analyst leaves
Carmine "Fisic0" Lorusso has parted ways with ATK after just under six months of working for the organization, the former ONYX coach is now a free agent looking for analyst and assistant coach positions.
The last six months have been a period of change for the International team which is under a South African org, located in Mexico, competing in North America. With Jonathan "b0denmaster" Bodenmalm assimilating into the roster after joining in January and American rifler Michael "Swisher" Schmid joining in April.
Despite the period of change, ATK were able to string together some positive results whilst Fisic0 was a part of the organization, just missing out on the Antwerp RMR, coming second in ECL Season 41, and winning three cash cups.
For Ficis0, ATK was his first big role as an analyst after a five-year coaching career. He started coaching in 2017 within the Italian scene but it was the next year that he got his first European opportunity in the form of ex-xenex. At ex-xenex, he was able to coach two up-and-comers in William "mezii" Merriman and Love "phzy" Smidebrant. In the following years, he would coach honved, and ONYX up until he opted to leave coaching and become an analyst.
