Brad "Sephy" Rajani will be the team's head coach while Silence will serve as assistant coach, as confirmed by Silence and the team's news release. Casores will be the team's player development coach, Danny will be the team's analyst and Dongmin will be the translator for the squad.
Sephy and Silence join the team after previously coaching Last Night's Leftovers, where Sephy was head coach and Silence was an analyst. Previously, Sephy had been the head coach of the San Francisco Shock and Selfless. LNL was Silence's first team.
Casores played support for That's a Disband in Contenders Season 1 Europe before joining One.PoinT as a coach in Contenders Season 2. Danny also comes from Contenders Europe, most recently working as an analyst for the currently undefeated Angry Titans.
The acquisition of Sephy by Atlanta was first reported by over.gg. The announcement of Atlanta's staff follows coach and general manager announcements by Toronto and the announcement of Washington, D.C.'s general manager.
The franchise's coaching staff will have to get to work immediately. The window for expansion teams to sign free agents is open as of yesterday.
