Immortals announced on Thursday that head coach Thomas “Zaboutine” Si-Hassen and general manager Keaton “Keaton” Cryer had left the organisation due to the team’s poor performances in the League of Legends Championship Series<\/a> (LCS).<\/p>\n

“We’ve decided to part ways with LCS GM, Keaton Cryer, and LCS Coach, Thomas \u201cZaboutine\u201d Si-Hassen. We’d like to thank both of them for their work with Immortals,” read the announcement.<\/p>\n

Both Zaboutine and Keaton were part of OpTic Gaming’s staff since November 2017 and stayed on after Immortals purchased Infinite Esports<\/a>, the parent company of OpTic.<\/p>\n

Before joining OpTic Gaming, Zaboutine served as head coach of Team Ocean Drake, who he helped win the 2017 North American Scouting Grounds (NASG). At the time, Ocean Drake fielded Robert “Blaber” Huang (then blaberfish2) and Philippe “Vulcan” Laflamme, who would both later join Cloud9, as well as Cloud9 Academy mid laner Cristian “Palafox” Palafox and 100 Thieves Academy ADC Jacob “Prismal” Feinstein.<\/p>\n
