LS was informed just hours before the team’s match against CLG on Saturday that he was released. “I was informed four hours ago of my release,” he said on Twitter. “For now I’ll figure out what’s next shortly.”

“I set out to show some things were possible and in that short time I believe we were able to show a glimpse of it. Even though the journey ends, I still feel satisfied that the team and players were able to showcase what we had, and knowing a lot more was possible,” he added in a later statement.
