Bambino was OG Esports', formerly known as OG LDN UTD, assistant coach. The assistant coach helped OG LDN UTD through their Champions Tour EMEA Stage 2: Challengers run which OG LDN UTD placed the seventh in, Champions Tour EMEA: Last Chance Qualifier run which OG LDN UTD placed fourth in, falling short to the likes of G2 Esports and M3 Champions.
After Riot Games' announcement of the new VCT structure and the partnerships, OG LDN UTD released their VALORANT roster, alongside Bambino and the rest of the coaching staff, leaving the VALORANT scene altogether.
Today we are also saying goodbye to @joejedwards and @BambinoVL

Their help has been invaluable and we are extremely grateful for all they’ve done to help our squad. Wherever life takes them next, we’ll be cheering for them. 🌻#DreamOG x #WeAreUTD pic.twitter.com/QpwiwHh87E
Bambino was in the radar of multiple known organizations, but KOI won the race to signing him.
"Extremely proud to work with this amazing team and represent such an org. We're going to cause some upsets in Brazil" Bambino shared on Twitter.
