Shinobi has joined Global Esports as their coach for the Valorant APAC Last Chance Qualifiers, as confirmed by SKRossi. After dominating the VCC Grand Finals, the team sought an experienced international coach to elevate their performance against top global competition.
Previously without a dedicated coach, Global Esports relied on IGL Hellranger for strategy and execution. With international teams now in sight, Shinobi's expertise is a game-changer for their Champions qualification push.
Josh "Shinobi" Abastado, a seasoned American player from Cloud9, was available and ideally suited for the role ahead of the APAC qualifiers.
During a recent stream, SKRossi verified that Shinobi has been collaborating with the team for 4.5 days. He outlined their workflow: "If we play 4 maps, Shinobi joins us for discussions at the start, after two maps, and again if needed. We'll adjust to the next morning if timing is tight."
