TH add sOAZ as positional coach, SK sign mid laner SlowQ in July 6 EMEA moves

TH made the louder staff move on July 6, bringing in veteran top laner Paul "sOAZ" Boyer as a positional coach while parting ways with Fabian "FEBIVEN" Diepstraten in the same role.

For TH, the change swaps one well known European name for another. sOAZ is one of the most recognizable veterans in League of Legends history, with a long career that gives TH a coach with deep experience at the highest level of European play. The organization did not add a player here, but the hire still matters. Positional coaching can shape lane fundamentals, communication habits, and how a roster prepares week to week.

FEBIVEN's departure closes a short chapter for TH's coaching staff. He also brings major name value from his own playing career, so this is not a minor adjustment behind the scenes. TH clearly wanted a different voice in the room, and sOAZ now steps into that spot.

SK's move was simpler and more direct. The team added SlowQ as a mid laner, giving the organization another option in one of the most important roles on the Rift. Mid lane changes always draw attention because they affect how a team drafts, plays around objectives, and sets its pace early in the game.

There is no long list of July 6 moves in EMEA, but these two still stand out for different reasons. TH reshaped its coaching staff with a high profile veteran, and SK reinforced the center of the map by signing SlowQ. Those are the details that matter, and they put both teams under a brighter spotlight the next time their lineups are discussed.
