coaching booth through a trophy-lifting Masters Toronto run and stepping into it for Champions Paris last season, Mini joins a ZETA DIVISION in a role that he describes as being "slightly different" to the position he held with PRX.
"The fans have always welcomed me warmly, and I have been able to make many wonderful memories through my activities in Japan. Next season, I would like to support ZETA's victory and repay their support!" Mini said. “The fans have always made me feel very welcome and helped shape many great memories on my adventures in Japan. I hope I can repay the kindness by supporting ZETA this coming season!”
Mini, a former Counter-Strike: Source and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player, entered the Valorant coaching scene early, leading

, and when the org was eventually signed by FNATIC, he assumed the head coaching role on the soon-to-be European powerhouse. He served as the team's head coach for three years, from 2021 to 2023, helping the team to three Masters events and two Champions events in the game's pre-partnership era.
In 2023, Mini and FNATIC enjoyed a trophy-laden year, beginning with a win at LOCK//IN São Paulo over

. The squad ended the year by doubling its international trophy count, by lifting the Masters Tokyo trophy before finishing fourth at Champions Los Angeles. Mini stepped down from the head coaching position after the end of the season, and shortly after, returned as an assistant coach for the 2024 season. While 2024 did not bring home any international trophies for FNATIC, the org did cement itself as the top dog in EMEA, winning both stages of the regular season to swiftly erase a disappointing Kickoff to start the year.
In 2025, ZETA picked up just four wins across both stages of league play, resulting in the team missing the playoffs of both stages. The team has been busy in the offseason, parting ways with player CLZ , TenTen , and Dep , and also letting go of assistant coach Carlao . In their place, the team has brought on Korean Duelist player eKo and brought back former coach ryota- , leaving two starting spots open.
