Team Coast announce new LoL roster
In a post on the team's website, Team Coast have unveiled their latest roster:
Team Coast is back with a revamped line-up:
Keenan “Rhux” Santos – Top Lane
Greyson “Goldenglue” Gilmer – Mid Lane
Lucas “Santorin” Larsen – Jungle
Brandon “DontMashMe” Phan – ADC
Jaime “Sheep” Gallagher – Support
Shan “Chaox” Huang – Coach
On May 5th, Team Coast's Managing Partner, David Slan, confirmed the team will continue, with a new roster.
Shortly after, Lucas 'Santorin' Larsen was added to the team. “I decided to go with Coast, because I wanted to try something new," Larsen told onGamers. "I had played with many European teams with great success, but I felt like it was time to make a change."I chose to join the Team Coast organization because the players are all great guys - and I can't wait to play with them. The Coast organization has a terrific attitude towards the players. They care about the players, and they want to do as much as possible to help us succeed.”
The team will move into a house in Las Vegas.
onGamers spoke to the team's coach, Shan 'Chaox' Huang, about the new roster.
"I'm going to be full time coaching the team, moving in with them for sure. If the team is scrimming, expect me to be watching. I'll be handling synergy, strategy as well as conditioning of these babies."
"I've always had a good relationship with Coast and the players, ever since I stayed at their gaming house for the duration of S3 finals. When we were discussing the NA scene, the lack of strong coaching naturally came up and I offered my services, and then it kind of just happened. I love to compete. I want to win, I love to teach and I wanted to start fresh. I'll take great pleasure turning these babies into tigers."
Keenan 'Rhux' Santos was a long time member of the Curse family, playing between Curse Academy and the Team Curse main roster since January 2013.
Greyson 'Goldenglue' Gilmer was formerly a player on challenger team Complexity.Red. Most recently, Gilmer played with Dignitas for a few weeks in the LCS.
Brandon 'DontMashMe' Phan was the former AD carry for Team Coast in previous LCS splits, but left the team in October 2013.
Jaime 'Sheep' Gallagher was the former support player for Team Curse and Curse Academy.
Shan 'Chaox' Huang was formerly the AD carry for Team Solo Mid.
Team Coast is currently in the semifinals 2014 NA Challenger Series #1 and will play Curse Academy on June 15th.
