Peter Dun, former coach of MAD Lions and Evil Geniuses and currently of Team Heretics, is the star of the 319th Episode of 'Reflections'. This episode is part three of four about Peter's career.

Peter got his break coaching INTZ in CBLoL over in Brazil; culminating in a CBLoL title, Worlds appearance and Bo1 upset win over LPL champions EDG. Moving to Europe he took over Splyce and had the team contending but couldn't reach Worlds that year. In S9 the team was again among the top teams, went to Worlds and there managed to upset eventual champions FPX in the group stage and take a game off T1 in the quarter-finals.

Rebranded as MAD Lions, the team shifted to using rookie talent and handed the G2 super-team their first play-off series loss, but couldn't win the split. Similarly, they showed great form in summer but faded in the play-offs. At Worlds they infamously bombed out in play-ins, causing much strife for all concerned.

Peter took his leave to North America to coach Evil Geniuses and again had a team immediately within punching distance of deep play-off runs and Worlds but could ultimately come up with neither. Integrating rookie ADC Danny and later Jojopyun saw a new look type of NA team emerge, famously good at late-game team-fighting, and 2022 saw them win the Spring split, go to MSI, finish third in the summer split and go to Worlds.

In 2023 Peter returned to Europe and the LEC, where he has taken over Team Heretics. Their form was rough over the first two splits, until Vetheo came in at Mid lane and they made a play-off run. Alas, their season form meant they did not qualify for the LEC Season Finals where Worlds qualification would be decided.

Peter is known for his eye for coaching staffs, empowering players, balancing teams and working with rookies and more difficult talents.

In part three, Peter discusses why he joined Evil Geniuses, the expectations of the team, how he integrated NA talents Danny and Jojopyun, how Inspired functions in a successful team, what EG might have done at Worlds and why he is no longer there.

This interview was recorded on the 22nd of November, 2023.
