After a long up-and-down season, the Vancouver Titans are looking to rebuild once again. The team is starting fresh, and grabbing a new leader in the coaches room. On Friday November 25, the Titans announced that Valentin “Ascoft” Wulfman will be the organization’s next Head Coach. Ascoft has spent the past three years with the Boston Uprising, bouncing between assistant and head coaching roles. This will be the first time Ascoft will enter the year as the Head Coach in the Overwatch League.
Ascoft entered the Overwatch League in 2020 with the Boston Uprising as an Assistant Coach under then Head Coach Vytis “Mineral” Lasaitis. Towards the back half of the 2020 season, Ascoft began to assume head coaching duties as Mineral began to transition away from coaching. While Boston struggled as a whole in his first year, Ascoft stuck around and came back to Boston in 2021.

In 2021 Ascoft found himself once again in the AC seat as Boston hired Seung-hyun “Lori” Kim to take the Head Coach job. It wasn’t until 2022 that Ascoft would find himself back in the captain’s chair. Lori was let go from the Uprising midway through the 2022 campaign, and Ascoft took the reins for the remainder of the season. Boston finished 10-14 last season but failed to make it into the Grand Finals bracket.
Ascoft reunites with former co-coach and now General Manager Dennis “Barroi” Matz in Vancouver. With the free agency window opening on December 2, the two leaders will look to build a winning roster for 2023.
