Today MAD Lions has announced, that the team is looking for a new in-game leader.
Kristers “keen” Dārznieks will no longer feature on the squad. The Organization cites age as a reason.
– We knew that a leadership role would be a challenging one to fill for such a young man/player. It was a great opportunity for him to try out leading a squad against some of the top teams from the world and we are happy he took the chance and gave everything he had. Unfortunately, leadership skills at the level we need are difficult to develop in such a short time frame so we are looking for another IGL, MAD Lions writes on their website before thanking him for his short time at the roster.
– We are truly happy with his effort and work ethic during the time in MAD Lions. However, this is trial and error for both the coaches and the players. We believe we are onto something, and more roster moves are coming until we find the right person to lead the squad. Best of luck Kristers and thank you!
The new MAD Lions roster was revealed on the 23rd of March.
