XTQZZZ reportedly reached an agreement to become Team Vitality’s new Head Coach

After the unexpected departure of Danny “zonic” Sørensen from Team Vitality was announced, rumors began to sound loud that Rémy “XTQZZZ” Quoniam could be his replacement.

Right now, Team Vitality would be without a Head Coach, as zonic decided to jump to Team Falcons. However, there is no doubt that, if these reports are confirmed, he would be a great addition to Vitality, as it is no secret that XTQZZZ has a great level of competitive experience.

Reports claim that XTQZZZ would replace zonic as Vitality’s Head Coach

According to the content creator and owner of GenOne, Sébastien “KRL” Pérez, the experienced French coach, XTQZZZ has reportedly agreed to be the new Head Coach of Team Vitality.

Indeed, zonic is still part of Team Vitality. However, his departure from the team is already set for November 1, so Team Vitality is moving to get an ideal replacement for the Dane.

There is no doubt that zonic is one of the key pillars of Team Vitality’s success in recent months, including the team’s victory at the IEM Rio and the Paris Major. Moreover, it is undeniable that his experience and his winning blood have been a “catalyst” of Vitality’s victories at the highest competitive level.

However, his departure from Vitality leaves the team with a big void that is difficult to fill, for nobody is a secret.

About XTQZZZ

Frenchman XTQZZZ is one of the most experienced coaches in the Counter-Strike competitive scene. He is a very strategic coach and, above all, with winning blood. As a result, if this move is confirmed, he would be a great addition to the team, and only time will tell whether he could fill Zonic’s shoes.

However, this would be a return of XTQZZZ to Team Vitality, as let’s remember he was the Head Coach of the 2018-2021 team. During his time with the team, he had good results, including EPICENTER 2019, where he and the team proved they are a very important force in the Counter-Strike scene.

Similarly, it’s also fair to mention that XTQZZZ is the Head Coach of TSM, a team specifically “tailored” by the French coach’s decisions.

As a result, that is the big unknown currently on the scene, as not everything is very clear for XTQZZZ to abandon his own project. However, coaching a powerhouse like Team Vitality may be appetizing for the French coach.

Right now, the coach will have to make a complicated decision, but there is no doubt that it will be the best for his future.
