According to sources with knowledge of the situation, the Falcons have signed coach Marlon “Twister” Mello. The deal was completed through a loan from Team Secret. The Brazilian coach will be with the Saudi team at least until the Six Invitational.
Twister, as mentioned, was with Secret, a European team, and will now have at least temporary experience with the Saudi team.
