Team Liquid’s League of Legends team has picked up a new coach, according to a Tweet from co-CEO and owner Steve Arhancet. Former Cloud9 coach Nu-ri “Cain” Jang is the head coach of Team Liquid.

Cain is also listed in Riot Games’ player database as being signed to Team Liquid until November 20, 2017. He was previously the assistant coach for Cloud9, whom he worked with from the beginning of the 2017 Spring Split. Notably, it is not known if coach David “DLim” Lim is still with the team, as his name is not listed in Riot’s database.

Yahoo Esports has reached out to Team Liquid for comment.

Team Liquid is going to great efforts to improve their performance in this split and avoid relegation. Following the departure of Greyson “Goldenglue” Gilmer, AD carry Chae “Piglet” Gwang-jin moved to the role of mid. The team also recently picked up Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng, who will play with them until the end of the split.
