Esports organization Aurora has announced the departure of its Counter-Strike 2 head coach, Sezgin "Fabre" Kalaycı. The organization shared the news on its official social media channels.

Fabre joined the team in November 2022, when the roster was still competing under the Eternal Fire banner. Under his leadership, the squad developed into a consistent playoff contender, with the biggest achievement coming in November 2025 when Aurora won the PGL Masters Bucharest title.

Fabre's departure comes amid reports that Aurora is planning to shift its strategy by transitioning to an international roster. Former GamerLegion head coach Ashley "ash" Batty is reportedly the leading candidate to take over the position.

As a reminder, Naughty Dog considered developing a remake of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune before ultimately choosing to remake The Last of Us instead.
