Ferral, known for his coaching roles on sno0ken Knows and IDK, will now be moving up to the titan PENTA Sports. In our interview with IDK, Ferral noted that he never intended to become a coach/analyst, yet he now finds himself as the analyst for a top Pro League team.
He served as the coach for the sKnows squad during their Y2S3 (now called Season 6) season, before the team split apart into two squads, then-known as the Swedes and IDK. The Swedes, now Chaos, claimed the Season 7 Pro League spot while IDK, joined by Ferral, went down to Challenger League.
In Challenger League, Ferral served as the squad's fifth player until he stepped down to a sub/coaching role. Meepey cited real life issues for Ferral's move in a Tweet announcing their search for a fifth player, a spot eventually filled by Elemzje. Throughout the Challenger League season, the squad never lost a map and were only taken to overtime once. In relegations, they defeated Team Oplon and made their move back up to Pro League.
Now, just days before Season 8 kicks off, Ferral will be making the move to another Pro League team, PENTA Sports. Everyone in the competitive scene is aware of PENTA's dominance as three-time Pro League Champions and Six Invitational 2018 Champions. Yesterday, PENTA had also announced the permanent signing of Kantoraketti, and have now further strengthened themselves with Ferral.

As PENTA go through the season, Ferral will be working alongside coach Shas[O]Udas and the rest of the squad of Pengu, Fabian, Goga, jOONAS, and Kanto as an analyst. As for IDK, meepeY has tweeted a farewell and a statement that they are not currently looking for a replacement. We spoke to Pengu about the move, and he cited the necessity of a dedicated analyst.
Pengu's statement has been lightly edited for clarity.
