Brazilian team Keyd Stars will be recruiting former Alliance Coach Jordan "Leviathan" Thwaites for the Intel Extreme Masters San Jose qualifiers. Leviathan, who helped lead Alliance to their first ever European LCS victory hopes to lead the Brazilian team to the SAP Center in San Jose, California.

Keyd will be facing other top Brazilian teams as they hope to represent Brazil in the one of biggest off-season events of the year.

I'm very excited to be working with Keyd Stars in preparation for the IEM San Jose qualifiers. The players on Keyd are extremely hard working and motivated and I'll be doing my best to teach them what I have learned from participating in the S4 World Championships. I hope Keyd Stars and I can achieve great things together and put on great games for the fans to watch!

Jordan 'Leviathan' Thwaites

We’re thrilled to welcome Jordan to our staff, we’ve already worked with him for a brief moment in the past and working with him again now that he has even more experience and knowledge is a great thing for us and for the whole Brazilian scene in general. Bringing in Jordan is a step as huge as when we brought the two Korean players earlier this year and a part of our planning that always aims to having the best players and giving them the best structure available.
