Cloud9 announces 2021 LCS coaching staff including Mithy

William Davis Published 04/12/2020

Cloud9 has completed its LCS coaching staff for the 2021 season with three new signings who will assist head coach Kim “Reignover” Yeu-jin.

After officially announcing Reignover as the new head coach back in November, C9 has now shared the rest of the coaching staff. The new additions to the coaching team are former support player and Fnatic coach Alfonso “Mithy” Rodríguez, former 100 Thieves Academy player Maxwell “Max” Waldo, and Marius “Veigar v2” Aune who is a former Fnatic strategic coach. 

The new additions will have Mithy as the strategic coach, while Max and Veigar v2 will act as position and strategic coaches. Together with Reignover in the lead, the new coaching staff will look to get the maximum potential out of the promising C9 LCS roster with former G2 Esports star Luka “Perkz” Perković as the biggest new signing. 

All three new coaches have previous experience in the European scene, which should give some nice knowledge for the 2021 C9 roster. C9 has already spent big on players this offseason and the new coaching staff seems to do it justice. 

The new C9 squad will play its first game when the LCS kicks off at the start of 2021.

Former G2 players gathered on C9 for 2021 season

The new addition of Mithy and Perkz to C9 means that the old trio from G2 is once again united. All three played together on G2 from 2016 to 2017, before the bot lane of Mithy and Jesper “Zven” Svenningsen headed to Team SoloMid in the LCS. 

Since then, Perkz has been the face of G2 but has now chosen to try his luck in the North American region. Joining Zven on C9 has been a very hot topic between fans and will continue to be after Mithy has officially joined them. 

In G2, the three managed to win three EU LCS trophies and played at the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational semifinal where they lost to SKT. This iteration of G2 was by many considered the start of the G2 era in Europe. 

Who is Mithy in LoL?

Mithy is a former support player who retired in 2019 to become a coach. He has since then been the head coach for Fnatic throughout the 2020 season and will now be heading to C9 as the strategic coach. Mithy is known for his in-depth knowledge about the game and will likely be a great addition to the C9 coaching staff. 

Who is the C9 LoL head coach?

The head coach of C9 for the 2021 season is former professional jungler Reignover. He made a name for himself back in 2015 when he joined Fnatic in the EU LCS. Together with Fnatic, he managed to make the famous 18-0 run in the 2015 EU LCS Summer Split, followed up by making it to the semifinals at the 2015 World Championship. Since then, Reignover has played in North America for teams such as Immortals and Team Liquid, before becoming a coach in 2019.   

Reignover has now been promoted at C9 to be the new head coach, following a season of coaching the C9 Academy team. Reignover will replace the legendary coach Bok “Reapered” Han-gyu

Who won LCS 2020?

The 2020 LCS Spring Split was won by C9 after a dominant performance throughout the split. In the 2020 LCS Summer Split, C9 didn’t manage to perform which resulted in TSM taking the trophy.
