TON・GG, Serving as Japan National Team Coach, Expresses Determination for Victory

PR TIMES

I have been appointed to serve as the Japan National Team coach.
I feel extremely honored and, at the same time, feel a great responsibility.
I have fought on the front lines as a player until now and am currently active as a streamer, but even though my position has changed, my approach to the competition remains the same.
Rather, because the time I spend watching the competitive scene from the outside has increased, I was able to feel Japan's strengths and potential once again.
The tension of international tournaments I experienced during my time as a player, the preparation necessary to win, and the difficulty and enjoyment of fighting as a team.
I want to give all of that back this time from the position of a coach.
What I want to value is creating an environment where players can take on challenges with confidence.
And, it is to create a team that can become one as the Japan National Team and fight proudly on the world stage.
I will work with all my might so that I can show the power of Japanese esports.
