Team Kinguin have announced that they have secured the services of Bartosz "Hyper" Wolny.

The recent victory at the ESL Polish Championship was of little consolation to the team, who have failed to qualify for a series of international events and sit at the bottom of the table in the ESL Pro League.

"We tried different players in that role, but it simply was not working out. Eventually, we decided we needed someone new to fill that role and that the best person to do it would be Hyper. "I believe he is the missing piece. He used to call in his previous teams, also when he was a coach - so the choice was natural. "The team and I would like to thank Furlan wholeheartedly for his hard work and time he spent with us. "We are all friends, and the decision to part ways with Damian was awfully difficult. However, we came to a conclusion that we need to make this change if we want to go forward. The whole team is motivated like never before, and we are expecting much better results."
