Former pro player, Team Vitality coach and League of Legends European Championship (LEC) analyst Jakob \u201cYamatoCannon\u201d Mebdi has been announced as the new head coach of SANDBOX Gaming, thus becoming the first Western tactician to take over a LoL Champions Korea (LCK) team.<\/p>\n
YamatoCannon takes over from Kang “Laden” Byung-ho, who parted ways with the Korean esports<\/a> organisation in April shortly after SANDBOX concluded their LCK 2020 Spring Split campaign in the relegation zone.<\/p>\n “We are delighted to announce that a former Team Vitality head coach and LEC analyst Jakob ‘YamatoCannon’ Mebdi has been appointed as the new head coach of SANDBOX Gaming,” read the announcement.<\/p>\n Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 24-year-old coach will be working with his new team remotely from Europe until his visa is approved and he can travel to Korea. His arrival could be delayed for a while longer, however, since there were more than 100 new COVID-19 cases confirmed in Seoul last week.<\/p>\n YamatoCannon first appeared in the League of Legends esports<\/a> scene in September 2011, when he played as a top laner for Team Mistral. He went on to play for Western Wolves, Absolute Legends.Alpha, Tt Dragons, H2k-Gaming and DragonBorns, with whom he made an appearance in the inaugural season of the European LoL Championship Series (EU LCS). After the team disbanded, the Swede moved to Heimerdinger’s Colossi. In June 2013 he joined against All authority, which was his last stop before transitioning to coaching.<\/p>\n #official<\/a> We are delighted to announce that a former Team Vitality head coach and LEC analyst Jakob "YamatoCannon" Mebdi has been appointed as the new head coach of SANDBOX Gaming. pic.twitter.com\/5MpFVRvQoF<\/a><\/p>\n — SANDBOX Gaming (@SBGaming_KOR) May 15, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
