Yesterday, news emerged about unexpected changes in the lineup of the winners of the European stage of Ascension - Gentle Mates. Following a successful season, in which the club gained a partnership with Riot Games, the organization's head manager Sylkaos is leaving.
In his official Twitter account, Sylkaos shared with his followers his plans for the upcoming season. While the manager himself did not directly state the reason for his departure, his words suggest that Sylkaos and the organization could not agree on financial matters, including the manager's salary. He also thanked the French team for the training and experience he gained over the past year.
I am informing you of my decision to leave my position as the head of Gentle Mates. We could not find mutual agreement, which prompted me to think about the future and my stability. I would like to express my gratitude to Gentle Mates for the great learning opportunities I had. I also thank the staff and players with whom I have come a long way and with whom I was able to retain more than just unforgettable memories thanks to the moments spent together.
Sylkaos joined the French club in mid-April 2023. Thanks to him, the team continued its excellent winning streak, during which it won the second stage of VALORANT Challengers 2023 France: Revolution Split 2. Later, the team became the champion of the EMEA Ascension tournament, thereby earning a partnership for the next two years.
It is still unknown where Sylkaos plans to go in the future, but considering his experience in the French scene, it is likely to be a regional team. In turn, the team did not bid farewell to the manager, so it is unlikely they plan to find a replacement.
