According to sources close to Dust2 India, True Rippers are on the brink of securing Finnish player r1ksa as their head coach. The 24-year-old has been actively seeking a coaching position. Then on February 12th, his post on X hinted at a signed contract awaiting announcement.

r1ksa's journey began with teams such as Pipel and ISO, marking his initial appearance on HLTV in March 2021. He later joined ISO before parting ways with the team in January 2023.
