However, many in the <a href=\"\/league-of-legends\/\" title=\"League of Legends betting sites\">LoL esports<\/a> community will have been shocked that TL opted to appoint a popular caster as their new lead strategist.<\/p>\n<p>Jatt is one of the most recognisable figures in the North American LoL scene. He began his journey as a professional player for Rock Solid in 2011 before moving to Dignitas, where he competed alongside three prominent figures in William &#8220;scarra&#8221; Li, Joedat &#8220;Voyboy&#8221; Esfahani and Michael &#8220;Imaqtpie&#8221; Santana.<\/p>\n<div class=\" embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">From the desk to the stage &#8211; please welcome our new coach, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RiotJatt?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RiotJatt<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LetsGoLiquid?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LetsGoLiquid<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MUhN68M5vp\">pic.twitter.com\/MUhN68M5vp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Team Liquid LoL (@TeamLiquidLoL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamLiquidLoL\/status\/1257369399973089286?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 4, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>After leaving pro play, Jatt spent many years working for Riot Games as an analyst, designer and caster. While the 32-year-old Canadian has no prior coaching experience, he said the transition is &#8220;actually something that feels somewhat natural, even if it is such a big change&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Jatt expressed his excitement about joining an esports organisation who have won four out of the last five LCS splits, and who field a &#8220;very stacked roster&#8221; with two former world champions in Jo &#8220;CoreJJ&#8221; Young-in and Jung &#8220;Impact&#8221; Eon-yeong, 2018 Worlds finalist Mads &#8220;Broxah&#8221; Brock-Pedersen, 2019 Mid-Season Invitational finalist Nicolaj &#8220;Jensen&#8221; Jensen, and the young and talented ADC Edward &#8220;Tactical&#8221; Ra.<\/p>\n<p>Jatt will make his debut as Team Liquid&#8217;s head coach on June 13, when the 2020 LCS Summer
