Representatives of the esports organization Phantom Esports announced on their official page on social media platform X that they have parted ways with head coach David “Lunatic” Ceslak by mutual agreement.

Following discussions with Lunatic, a decision was made to end our collaboration by mutual agreement. As a result, Lunatic is leaving Phantom Esports. During his time with us, he was not only our coach but, above all, an integral part of the team and our organization. Joint training sessions, matches, analysis, victories, and challenging moments—all of this has become part of Phantom Esports’ history. This marks the end of one chapter, but above all, it is a culmination of our joint efforts and the contribution Lunatic has made to the development of our team. David, thank you for your dedication, expertise, the hundreds of hours we spent working together, and all the moments we shared. We wish you the best of luck on your future journey and every success in your upcoming challenges. See you on the server.

David “lunatic” Ceslak began his esports career as a player in 2015. For ten years, the Polish specialist competed on the professional scene, and in 2025, he transitioned to the role of coach. During his competitive career, the 33-year-old coach worked with more than twenty different teams, including clubs such as PACT, Anonymo Esports, HONORIS, ESC Gaming, and Team Refuse, and his total prize earnings exceeded fifty-one thousand dollars.
