as their coach.
His leadership as coach helped lead Maru to a top six and second place finish in VCT Korean Challengers throughout the 2022 season.
Anaks' signing brings DRX's coaching count up to four. He joins alongside longtime veterans of the Korean FPS scene, such as glow and termi . The leadership the coaches have provided allowed for DRX to quickly rise to the top in Korea, where they still sit to this day.
