Golden Guardians has been one of the most active organizations in the LCS this offseason, restructuring a large part of its roster heading into 2022. And today, the team revealed its full coaching staff, complete with assistant coaches at all five positions on the Rift. 

Notably, the team’s former bottom laner, Stixxay, will become a coach with the organization. Stixxay will serve as the team’s positional coach for the AD carry role in 2022. The six-year LCS veteran will work hand-in-hand with the team’s two bottom laners, former TSM starter Lost and former PEACE ADC Violet, both of whom were signed earlier this offseason.
