Former Leviatán coach Preston ”Juv3nile” Dornon has been installed as Global Esports’ new head coach.
INDIA – Global Esports have announced the signing of former Leviatán assistant coach Preston ”Juv3nile” Dornon as the team’s new head coach heading into the new 2025 VCT season. The 35-year-old takes over the spot vacated by Peter “Spin” Bradford, who was in charge of the squad during the 2024 season and helped Hong “Eraser” Chang-pyo in the previous 2023 season.
Juv3nile’s announcement marks the beginning of GE’s complete rebuild for the upcoming season, with the Indian organization parting ways with nearly all of its members, leaving Niko “polvi” Polvinen as the sole restricted free agent still under contract.

Prior to his appointment as Global Esports’ new head coach, Juv3nile was with Americas powerhouse Leviatán since June 2024 where he lifted the VCT Americas Stage 2 trophy and finished third at VALORANT Champions Seoul.
His resume also includes highlights such as coaching Corbin “C0M” Lee in the early days of VALORANT under the Akrew banner and managing former T1 and current Cloud9 player Daniel “Rossy” Abedrabbo while he was in TSM in 2022. More recently in 2023, Juv3nile was with Oxygen Esports and was in charge of Elevate’s latest roster in 2024 Challengers MY/SG.
