Mac to be Team Vitality’s Head Coach in the LEC 2024

The different rumors and reports continue regarding the main teams of the LEC and their possible signings for next season. In this opportunity, Team Vitality is again the center of attention since last-minute reports highlight that they are close to signing James “Mac” MacCormick as the new Head Coach for the 2024 season.

If this move is confirmed, it will undoubtedly be an excellent challenge for Mac, as Team Vitality is rebuilding its staff. However, we all know this British coach’s capabilities and extraordinary talent, so there is no doubt that he would be very successful.

According to Gomis’ report, Mac’s contract with Team Vitality as the new Head Coach would last 3 years. This would give him enough time to assemble and compile a roster, allowing the organization to contend for the top spot in the LEC.

Although this contract may be “long” considering the rest of the LEC Head Coaches’ contracts, for Mac, it may be “short” since, let’s remember, he has been leading the MAD Lions team for the last 6 years. Moreover, during this time with the Spanish organization, Mac stood out, and thanks to his talent and spectacular ideas, he led MAD Lions to a formidable level of play.

Mac and MAD Lions

While it is true that Mac was with MAD Lions for 6 years, it is worth mentioning that he took the team’s reins at the beginning of the 2020 season. From then on, MAD Lions was a completely different team, as they managed to qualify for Worlds in every edition.

In addition, we cannot forget the 2021 season of the Spanish organization, as they were Spring Split champions, MSI runners-up, and qualified for the Worlds Quarterfinals.

Now, Mac comes to a rebuilding team and has yet to announce its starting roster heading into 2024. However, he is likely to be reunited with Zdravets “Hylissang” Galabov, who has been on Team Vitality’s radar, and some recent reports claim that he would have a deal with the team for next season.

Officially, the offseason of the League of Legends competitive scene starts next November 21, a few days after the end of Worlds 2023. From that moment on, the contracts of many players worldwide will end with their teams, and it is expected that moves will start to be made official.
