Additionally, former Resolve head coach Hendrik Daniel “Karakal Jr” Méndez Rijpsma will join MAD Lions Madrid as their head coach, while David “OWN3R” Rodriguez de la Torre will stay on as assistant coach.
Gaëthan previously played top lane for Tony Parker Adéquat Academy, where he and the team came in third place for both the LFL Division 2 Summer and Playoff tournaments. Karakal Jr has been the head coach for British team Resolve since May. Prior to that, he was with Team Queso.

The MAD Lions Madrid 2022 roster continues to grow, with Gaëthan the most recent addition.
