Chicken Coop announces a change to our roster: Brandon “R4NDO” Smith is stepping down.

R4NDO joined Chicken Coop early this year with the signing of Take Flyte. Under his coaching, the team won Crossfire Season 3. Chicken Coop would like to extend a very large thank-you to Brandon for the time he spent with the roster. Without him, the team would not have achieved what it has so far.

In his place, we are excited to welcome Igor “darkpsy” Zaniboni as our new coach!

darkpsy joins the Coop after a few months coaching the Brazilian squad “FOLHA AMARELA.” Under his coaching, FOLHA achieved multiple successes, including a 1-2nd-place finish at the PGL Bucharest 2026 SA Open Qualifier and a 2nd-place finish at the Liga Gamers Club 2026 Serie A Cup. Prior to this stint, darkpsy has a long history of success coaching the core of youngher, goddess, and poppins, where they qualified for all 8 seasons of ESL Impact League, 7 of which were under his coaching.

Stay tuned for darkpsy’s debut at the Dust2.us Eagle Masters Series #7 Open Qualifiers!
