The official free agency window opened on Nov. 21. But the roster moves rumors have been circling the League of Legends community from the moment Worlds 2022 came to a close. According to the latest report, Alfonso “Mithy” Aguirre Rodríguez will return to Cloud9 as a head coach in time for next year.
According to a report from Blix.gg’s Alejandro Gomis last night, Mithy has reached a verbal agreement with C9 to be the team’s head coach for the upcoming season. Mithy first joined the team in 2020 as a strategic coach and later in the season as a head coach after replacing Kim “Reignover” Yeu-jin. During the Mithy era, the team was somewhat successful and even managed to get out of the groups at Worlds 2021. Still, it wasn’t enough, with the team being used to constantly ending their season in the top three.
