Retired Rocket League<\/a> pro player Matthew “Satthew” Ackermann has signed with G2 Esports as their new car soccer coach for the upcoming RLCS season.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old will be joining veterans Jacob “JKnaps” Knapman and Reed “Chicago” Wilen and super sub-turned-super starter<\/a> Andres “dreaz” Jordan and will be pushing out Jacob “Jahzo” Suda out of the coaching position.<\/p>\n

Jahzo was the first-ever non-player to join G2 and had been the coach and manager of the team ever since June 2017, leading the samurais to over $500,000 in prize pool earnings in multiple events.<\/p>\n

His most notable results include a runner-up title in the Season 7 World Championship, winning the ELEAGUE Cup 2017 and the NA RLCS Season 5 and 9.<\/p>\n

His replacement, Satthew, will be conducting a world-class roster ahead of the 2021-22 RLCS season in a move that was three years in the making. <\/p>\n

“I told Satthew I wanted him as my duo support staff back in Season 5 of the RLCS. Now it’s a reality. G2 on top #G2ARMY”, tweeted out Jahzo after the announcement. The now-24-year-old will be moved to a Manager\/Assistant Coach position in G2 Rocket League Esports.<\/p>\n
