Former Immortals General Manager and Coach Michael "Packing10" Szklanny is departing the organization at the end of January after three impactful years.
Packing10 joined as coach for LA Valiant in February 2019. He transitioned to team manager while retaining coaching duties in June 2020, then shifted to Immortals' VALORANT division in early 2021.
"Over 3 years ago my journey started at IMT as AC for the Valiant," Packing10 shared on Twitter. "Years later, I gained experience as a general manager, managing director and led several teams."
Packing10 played a key role in developing players across Immortals' Overwatch and VALORANT teams. Former players and colleagues praised his ability to "bring out the best" in athletes, calling him a "true" coach.
"Immortals will always be my first home," Packing10 added.
With his exit, Immortals' VALORANT roster has just one player left: Andrew "ShoT_UP" Orlowski. ShoT_UP recently tweeted a GIF of a contract signing. It's unclear if he's re-signed with Immortals or joined elsewhere; Dot Esports noted he trained with FaZe Clan's VALORANT team.
The VCT Stage One Challengers Circuit kicks off in February 2022, with teams vying for points toward VCT Champions in September.
