he doesnt need a good understanding, he'll be more like a manager. creating schedules, practice rules and stuff like that, i dont think a coach can do much else in those 2 games

Reach's life and career choices are his and his alone. So it's really sad that he get a lot of flaks for it including from his ex-team.

Wish him all the best

Yeah, there's a lot more to running a team than playing the game itself. A big part of a team's success is the enviroment and atmosphere players live in. That's what Reach is there to provide. And the CEO said he'll bring in an expert if Reach asks for it.

Will miss him dearly, but hell. If he manages to help fighting games and LoL look more professional I'm all ears.

I don't care about Reach leaving KT to be honest. But I am VERY disappointed he left Starcraft...

Oh boo who.

They're two totally different games.

I don't get why people are always complaining. It's his choice, he's given the best years of his life to Starcraft. The fact that he came back to esports is something that we should be proud of.

Doesn't matter anything, you will always be the Mantoss. Hope the LoL scene becomes manlier with this. Which curiously benefits me personally since the more the BW scene is fading into sc2, the more I get into the LoL scene.

TBH, I was always surprised he stuck with KT/BW so long, just sitting on the bench. He was never granted the title of coach then, and from the translated interviews I went over, it didn't seem like he was doing much in that respect, so it seemed like it was a big waste of his time.

Actually, this part is pretty interesting to me:
"I asked for advice from those I knew in the LoL scene, such as Yellow and theMarine. I asked them a lot of questions and heard that they see a lot of parallels between the LoL scene and the earlier stages of development in BW."
I don't if there's any exaggeration or just seeing what they want to see, but it could be pretty significant.
