Former Fnatic Valorant Coach Milan Joins T2 Chinese Team Weibo
Dutch esports coach Milan ‘Milan’ de Meij has joined Chinese tier 2 team Weibo Gaming, marking a significant step down in his career following his recent departure from Fnatic’s Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) EMEA organization.
Fnatic parted ways with Milan ahead of the Esports World Cup qualifiers after failing to qualify for both Valorant Masters Santiago and London. Despite these recent disappointing results, Milan had built a strong record at Fnatic—guiding the team to every Masters event in the previous year and helping them reach the Valorant Champions 2025 final.
The move to Weibo Gaming represents a notable step down in competitive tier, as the Chinese organization competes in tier 2. This transition suggests Milan faced limited options following Fnatic’s performance decline, despite his proven individual track record. The appointment also indicates Weibo’s commitment to competitive development following its return to Valorant in April 2026 after three years away from the scene.
This coaching change exemplifies the volatile nature of professional esports, where even established coaches can be displaced during periods of organizational underperformance.
