I'm betting it has something to do with Aphro telling them he's gone (retiring) after this split. The funny thing is that I don't fault them for booting Doublelift. I do fault them for booting Pobelter and keeping Huhi.
The Pobelter thing was because they suddenly wanted to split playing time between Huhi and Pobelter, and then Pobelter didn't want to split any time and wanted to be a starter.
I felt that it was a mistake, but Pobelter hasn't been playing that great recently so I feel okay with it. Huhi is like really bad, but also good in a weird way.

So I take it Crumbz is actually taking LS's spot on SpoTV broadcasts now, instead of shared casting.

importing selfie, NA rly does not learn from their mistakes XD
how was the last iteration of the LS + selfie project called?
|
I think last time they tried to import Selfie the whole Move Your Mothers thing happened. Either way, it's a challenger team.

Remember when LS coached G2, but they weren't doing well, and they had a payment dispute where LS threatened to send G2's scrims and other private information to every other team in Europe, and how everyone on Reddit said G2 would never get anywhere now without LS?
I'm grateful this finally makes SPOTV watchable now, and hopeful this exposes LS for the fraud that he is. "the most comprehensive understanding of the game of any individual in the West" lmao

Is LS actually leaving Korea though? Thought he's in a long term relationship.
Personally don't really care that much about LS either way. He's no where near as good at the game as claimed but no where near as bad as others say. Unfortunately think Monte's style rubbed off on him too much but he lacks the charm Monte brings to offset that smugness. So while he's doing similar things it just doesn't work as well for most people. Maybe he'll manage this better. Coaching isn't something that just happens but takes lots of time and adapting to get right.

I can't imagine any team hiring an offsite coach like this. The last offsite coach I can recall was Monte with CLG and we all know how that panned out.

I like the part of LS "commands the respect of the best players in the world".

The article I read stated part of him accepting the offer was them seeing the worth in him continuing to live in Korea so he's definitely not leaving.
"In addition to this they see the value in allowing me to continue to work from [South] Korea, something most other teams didn't, Going forward I'm really confident in the ability of the roster and I believe it has a foundation that will truly enable my coaching style to flourish and aid the team tremendously."
Right from the ESPN article originally linked

Him working in Korea doesn't necessarily mean casting.
|
Yea my bad, changed the post to reflect that. Still doesn't change the fact that he'll be an offsite coach
|
It's hard to know how bad a decision it is without knowing who else is actually out there and what they can actually do, something most people have no idea of. I'd say as a Challenger team starting up, it's not a terrible idea on its face(my dislike of LS nonwithstanding) but I don't think they'd have agreed to it if they were in LCS.

That doesn't sound like coaching, more like analyst with a bit more duties?
|
That depends on what kind of coaching he's doing. He already does telecommuting coaching to randos as it is.

I guess I glossed over that bit about LS staying in Korea. Wonder how it'll work out for them although I'm not holding my breath.
