A video posted to YouTube earlier by Global Esports CEO and Co-Founder Rushindra Sinha verified that although the paperwork is not yet official, the change in coaching staff has been submitted to Riot and is awaiting approval before any official announcement can be posted.

“We ideally would have wanted to make as few or no changes,” said Sinha. “Unfortunately, [we] had to make these changes. The timing could have definitely been better. I will also say that this was absolutely my decision…Only time will tell whether this was the right call or it wasn't. We'll know in a few weeks.”

Sinha spoke highly of FrosT and praised the results he brought to Global Esports this year. He also stated that the organization will not be making any other roster changes, and will continue as-is moving forward.

“In the immediate future, he has different plans as you will see shortly.” said Sinha in what could be a hint at FrosT signing with another organization in the near future.
