Former coach of Evil Geniuses and Copenhagen Flames, Daniel "Vorborg" Vorborg, has announced his retirement from coaching. The 31-year-old Dane shared his reasons for this decision on the social media platform X.
"I always knew I wouldn't be a coach forever because you have to sacrifice everything else in life. With a hectic work schedule and constant travelling, your entire life revolves around competition and progress. At some point, I need to start focusing more on my family. I probably had a couple more years where I could make the necessary sacrifices, but I received an offer I just couldn't refuse”.
Vorborg also mentioned that he will always regret not fully realising his potential as a coach.
However, the Dane does not plan to leave esports entirely – instead, he will focus on "business matters." Vorborg promised to share more details about his future endeavours later.
Daniel's last team was Preasy, which he coached from August 2023 to April 2024. Before that, he also worked with Evil Geniuses and Copenhagen Flames. With the Danish team, he achieved a 9th-11th place finish at the PGL Major Stockholm 2021 and reached the top 8 at the PGL Major Antwerp 2022.
