Of all the 13 teams, the most notable was the Imperial, with whom Neil won the Copenhagen Games in 2018 and DreamHack Open Summer 2018 alongside other achievements.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the successful run at Imperial, Neil &#8220;NeiL_M&#8221; Murphy left the team in November 2018 to join a Polish team x-kom Team, where he remained only for a short period of 17 days.<\/p>\n<p>After leaving x-kom Team due to issues with the squad, a language barrier and the fact that he felt he was not fully committed to the project, NeiL_M received another chance to prove himself with an invitation to trial as a coach at the leading team in Oceania, Grayhound.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a title=\"Esports betting predictions\" href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/predictions\/\">LATEST ESPORTS BETTING TIPS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When asked about his debut with the new team, the 29-year old Irish coach revealed that he has been participating in practice matches with Grayhound, however, his debut as a coach will be on LAN at IEM Sydney, which will take place on April 30th at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.<\/p>\n<p>Murphy took to his own Twitter account to talk about his excitement at the opportunity.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">New challenge begins as i will try out with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/grayhoundgaming?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@grayhoundgaming<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IEM?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@IEM<\/a> Sydney and the future!

If they manage to perform up to par at IEM Sydney, Grayhound would finally get the recognition they deserve and maybe peek out of the shadow of Renegades, who are widely considered to be the best Australian team.<\/p>\n<p>Will he be the best choice for the Australian team? All will become clearer in the upcoming weeks when the players and Neil get to see if they are the right match for each other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The rest of the Grayhound team looks as
