The announcement comes in the wake of several releases from the organization. As the new General Manager, Coolmatt now must work with new head coach Jae “Junkbuck” Choi to build a brand new roster. In his statement, it appears Coolmatt will be going for a new look for the team, potentially aiming to sign more western players than previously.
