Not wasting any time, he quickly transitioned into a head coaching position. Although this recent move into coaching marks a new chapter in his career, he is not starting from scratch; he brings with him valuable experience gained during his eight-month tenure with <strong>GODSENT <\/strong>in 2023, where he honed his coaching skills and strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Swede steps into a <strong>SAW <\/strong>side that has recently faced significant upheaval.

In a swift response, they secured the talents of Andr\u00e9 <strong>&#8216;\u2060Ag1l\u2060&#8217; <\/strong>Gil to fill the void left by the departures. With the lineup finalized, the Swedish coach aims to steer the team towards a more stable and successful future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following their recent restructuring, <strong>SAW <\/strong>proudly secured their inaugural international LAN trophy at the <strong>ESL Challenger Katowice<\/strong>, marking a significant milestone during their offline debut with the revamped roster. With this achievement in their rearview mirror, the team is now gearing up for the highly anticipated <strong>Shanghai Major RMR<\/strong>, which kicks off on November 17. As they prepare for this competitive event, <strong>SAW <\/strong>has been placed in Group A, where they will face off against <strong>SINNERS <\/strong>in their opening match, heightening the excitement for both the team and their fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SAW roster is as follows:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Christopher <strong>&#8216;\u2060MUTiRiS\u2060&#8217; <\/strong>Fernandes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ricardo <strong>&#8216;roman\u2060&#8217; <\/strong>Oliveira<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jo\u00e3o <strong>&#8216;story\u2060&#8217; <\/strong>Vieira<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Michel <strong>&#8216;\u2060ewjerkz&#8217; <\/strong>Pinto<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Andr\u00e9 <strong>&#8216;\u2060Ag1l\u2060&#8217; <\/strong>Gil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maikil <strong>&#8216;Golden&#8217; <\/strong>Selim (coach)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rafael <strong>&#8216;\u2060arrozdoce&#8217; <\/strong>Wing (benched)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Keep up with our coverage for more insights on the latest esports news and updates.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAW has officially announced the appointment of Maikil &#8216;Golden&#8217; Selim as the new head coach for the team, a role he will fulfill until the conclusion of the current season.
