The coach became a <strong>part of the organization<\/strong> in 2020 when GamerLegion was trying to rebuild its roster. He <strong>joined just when William \u201cdraken\u201d Sundin, Hampus \u201champus\u201d Poser and Dennis \u201cdennis\u201d Edman<\/strong> left the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as he became a part of the club, the <strong>British coach quickly impressed everyone<\/strong> with his professionalism. He helped GamerLegion through the years and was essential in the club\u2019s <strong>impressive run at the Blast.tv Paris Major<\/strong>. This was when the team reached the Grand Final and lost to Vitality.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ash\u2019s Decision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In case some of you may have forgotten, the <strong>35-year-old coach decided to step down<\/strong> from GamerLegion late last year. Ash responded that the<strong> burnout was due to having tons of LAN tournaments<\/strong>. Moreover, the team had problems finding a replacement for their AWPer after Henrich \u201csl3nd\u201d Hevesi was removed from the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after ash stepped down, it became clear that the coach would be interested in trying something else. There were interviews where he <strong>admitted he\u2019s ready to move on<\/strong>, so most people are not surprised by his current decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what\u2019s next for Ash? Well, <strong>many top-tier CS2 teams <\/strong>would love to add such an experienced coach to their roster. The British star has proven himself over time and is <strong>more than capable<\/strong> of living up to the expectations. We will just have to wait and see where he will move to.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GamerLegion shared on X that Ashley \u201cAsh\u201d Battye will no longer be a part of the organization.
