Team KOI has made a surprise move by adding Jose "Linko" Duro to their coaching staff as an assistant coach. The move is of interest as Linko, despite recent accomplishments as a player, is now moving into a new role that will be his first attempt at coaching.

Linko's move to the coaching position is interesting as he has been active as a player until recently. His career includes playing for several Portuguese teams.

Background and achievements

Jose "Linko" Duro started his cybersport career in 2019 and has managed to play for teams such as GTZ, Los Alpacas and Make Your Destiny. In 2022, he finished second at Master League Portugal Season 11, losing in the finals to a SAW squad, and earned $3,282 for the team. In addition, he has also scored victories in qualifiers. These achievements emphasize his level as a player and create expectations for his coaching potential.

Challenges of a New Role

Moving to KOI as an assistant coach will be Linko's first attempt in that role, which certainly presents challenges. The question on his mind now is whether he will be able to adapt to his new role and contribute significantly to the team's success. Given his experience on the stage, perhaps he can be a valuable addition to the coaching staff.

Final Thoughts

The addition of Linko to KOI's coaching staff is an important move that could affect the future of the team. On one hand, his move to the coaching position is a risk given his lack of experience in the role. On the other hand, his gaming background and understanding of cybersports could be the qualities that help him succeed in his new profession. Time will tell if expectations will be met, but the move has already generated interest in the cybersports community.
