Reasons for the replacement and the choice of Tauson

The decision to replace aNdu came as a surprise to many, but team coach Ashley “ash” Batti explained that GamerLegion was looking for a player who would fit the “mentality and ideology” of the squad. Tauson, a product of the Sprout Academy, impressed the organization with his play and recommendations from previous coaches.

“We believe he will become a top-level player in the future,” said coach ash. “He has shown a high level of versatility and is constantly striving to improve."

Tauson's career before GamerLegion

Prior to joining GamerLegion, the 19-year-old Tauson spent a significant part of 2024 with Secret and then played for ECSTATIC for three months. As a member of the Danish team, he raised his rating to 6.3, which was a key factor in his transition to a top-tier team.
