Earlier, on September 11, an article appeared on our website, which stated that according to rumors, Jacob "mini" Harris would leave the position of head coach. Within a few hours, these rumors were confirmed - the organization and the coach officially announced the end of their collaboration after three years of working together. Under his leadership, the team achieved two victories in international tournaments and participated in all three world championships, taking fourth place in the last one. You can learn more about his achievements with Fnatic in another article on our website.
As mentioned earlier, the coach left the team of his own accord, and the management reported this six months before the end of the contract. The reason for this decision was his desire to devote more time to his personal life, which he lacked while working on a tight schedule as the head coach of Fnatic.
Jacob "mini" Harris does not plan to end his coaching career and leave esports. He is open to offers for next year, but he is now more interested in the position of assistant coach or manager. These professions require less time, which will allow him to better balance between work and personal life.
