Cloud9 recently decided to rebuild their CS: GO roster, but there\u2019s been no mention of their LoL team.<\/p>\n<p>Reapered thanked C9 and the fans for their continuous support through the highs and lows. He is one of the most sought-after coaches in the LoL esports community, but it\u2019s still unclear where the future will take him.<\/p>\n<h2>Asia<\/h2>\n<h3>Kim Steps Down From T1 Post<\/h3>\n<p>Jung Su \u201cKim\u201d Kim has resigned as head coach of T1&#8217;s LoL team despite initially signing on until 2022. He decided to part ways after the poor performance of the roster in recent matches.<\/p>\n<p>T1 dominated the LCK Spring Split but were later defeated by Afreeca Freecs in the Summer Split playoffs. Since then, they\u2019ve been unable to redeem themselves and failed to make it through to the League of Legends World Championship. <\/p>\n<p>Kim thanked the fans and apologized for failing to live up to expectations. T1 also posted a tribute to their former coach, wishing him well as they part ways on mutual terms.<\/p>\n<h2>Africa<\/h2>\n<h3>Goliath Gaming Land International Coach<\/h3>\n<p>Goliath Gaming, one of the most successful esports organizations in South Africa, recently made their way to the CS: GO Gamedock Cup #1 finals. Unfortunately for them, rivals ATK Arena came out victorious on that day.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Goliath have made some changes after the now-former coach, Thulani \u201cLigtherTZ\u201d Sishi, moved into the management team. Since his promotion, there\u2019s been a gap in the coaching role. <\/p>\n<p>In an exciting move, GG landed an international coach, Caster \u201cBunter\u201d Grocholewski, from Iceland. Bunter has been part of the GODSENT and Endpoint squads in the past, and he\u2019s excited about the &#8220;exotic opportunity&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2>Europe<\/h2>\n<h3>One Game Agency Announce Online Dota Competition<\/h3>\n<p>One Game Agency have announced plans to run an online <a href=\"\/dota-2\/\" title=\"Dota 2 betting\">Dota 2<\/a> tournament next week, from September 20 to September 26. The AMD Sapphire OGA Dota Pit EU\/CIS will feature 10 esports teams from the EU\/CIS regions.<\/p>\n<p>Team Secret are among the sides that will feature. They&#8217;ve had an impressive year, defeating almost every opponent, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see if any of the other teams at the OGA Dota Pit will beat them.<\/p>\n<p>The event\u2019s total prize pool is set at US $175,000, with $70,873 going to the winners. Six of the teams were invited to the main event, including Team Liquid and VP.Prodigy. 5men, Vikin.gg, FlyToMoon, and Ninjas in Pyjamas will participate in closed qualifiers. <\/p>\n<p>AMD, Sapphire Technology, Betway, TikTok, AOC, and Hyper X are the tournament\u2019s six sponsors. <\/p>\n<h2>South America<\/h2>\n<h3>FalleN Leaves Active Roster At MiBR<\/h3>\n<p>Made in Brazil, better known as MiBR, recently let go of three <a href=\"\/counter-strike\/\" title=\"CS:GO betting\">Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/a> team members: Fernando \u201cfer\u201d Alvarenga, Epit\u00e1cio \u201cTACO\u201d de Melo, and coach Ricardo &#8220;dead&#8221; Sinigaglia.<\/p>\n<p>After a prolonged dry spell, the organization decided it was best to clean house and find some fresh talent. The decision isn\u2019t sitting well with Gabriel \u201cFalleN\u201d Toledo, however, as he\u2019s requested removal from the roster. He\u2019s still deciding what his next step will be.<\/p>\n<p>The decision has left the MiBR CS: GO squad with just two players. One of them, Vito \u201ckNgV-\u201d Giuseppe, has also spoken of his concern about the recent changes, saying they will set back the team\u2019s development. <\/p>\n<h2>Oceania<\/h2>\n<h3>Oceanic Nationals Underway<\/h3>\n<p>The Oceanic Nationals round-robin stage kicked off on Wednesday, September 16. The competition, formerly known as Six Masters 2020, will follow a similar format as before. <\/p>\n<p>During the regular season, each of the eight teams will participate in a best-of-one match with extra time in the round-robin. The top six will proceed to the next stage, where they\u2019ll compete in the best-of-three, double-elimination playoffs. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s still undecided if there will be a best-of-five series for the grand final. It\u2019s possible there might not be any advantage for the winner of the upper bracket final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ESB brings you the latest esports and gaming news from around the world, including two massive coaching changes in the LoL scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":13494,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1385,172,626,17,4,1383,1384,24,637,1381,1382,628],"class_list":["post-13493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-bok-reapered-han-gyu","tag-cloud9","tag-cs-go","tag-dota-2","tag-featured","tag-goliath-gaming","tag-jung-su-kim-kim","tag-league-of-legends","tag-mibr","tag-oceanic-nationals","tag-oga-dota-pit-eu-cis","tag-t1"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Daily esports news updates | Wednesday, 16 September 2020<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"ESB brings you the latest esports and gaming news from around the world, including two massive coaching changes in the LoL scene.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/latest-esports-gaming-news-wednesday-september-16\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Daily esports news updates | Wednesday, 16 September 2020\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ESB brings you the latest esports and gaming news from around the world, including two massive coaching changes in the LoL scene.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/latest-esports-gaming-news-wednesday-september-16\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Esport Bet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-09-16T06:27:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/reapered.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1100\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"551\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Staff Writer\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@esportbetcom\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@esportbetcom\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Staff Writer\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/latest-esports-gaming-news-wednesday-september-16\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/latest-esports-gaming-news-wednesday-september-16\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Staff Writer\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/#\/schema\/person\/19a7544dcef76dfaf3be038555dfdbf3\"},\"headline\":\"Latest esports &#038;
