I just can't imagine it happening either. LS would be hired as an analyst tops, not head coach. He has little track record (compared to the big coaches and the veteran KR players who have successfully become coaches in LCK and LPL), he likely makes good money as a caster and streamer, and I seriously doubt T1 would hand him an offer when there are a hundred other candidates they could reach out to.

I agree with evilfatsh1t, the link (and the stream they provide as proof) just says he has coaching offers, and he also has a meeting with T1 CEO. He does not say he has head coach offers, and he does not say what his meeting is about. Personally, I'm betting on either streamer position, or analyst (T1 needs someone to dictate their drafts, because they have been poor this split).

Of course both articles say the same thing, that's the point of journalism, to report facts. It would be more of an issue if they had wildly difference stances. You really mean to tell me he's gotten 9+ offers for head coach/coach positions and the T1 head just so happens to be meeting with him for tea and cookies? Of course he's being considered for a coach/head coach position there. I do agree that a head coach offer from T1 might be a bit above what he's qualified for, but he's certainly getting those kind of offers

Just because you're biased against him doesn't mean he isn't getting approached for the opportunities.

Was LS working with Fnatic something serious or was it just memeing/exaggeration?

Even if you are totally bought in on LS, for any team with multiple coaching roles, which is most teams these days, Head Coach is just a misuse of his strengths. LS would most likely be a strong analyst, but Head coach is more of a conflict resolver / motivator role. I don't know the man personally, but his stream persona / his history on TL.net would lead me to doubt he would excel in that role.

I don't want to doubt Jack as a fan... but I can't help but agree. I feel like Reapered was the competitive advantage for C9 in NA. Now, I'm ready for mediocrity. Here's to hoping Reapered lands on a great team like T1 or some Chinese team or something.

It'll all depend on how well the coaching infrastructure he left is going to continue being used and how well it holds up, but knowing coaching in NA I'm not optimistic on that front.

Now I get to see if Parth is willing to make the easiest coaching hire of his life.

I wouldn't want that job if I was reapered, no way you get the kind of autonomy he always had in C9 at TSM

he may as well be getting approached with opportunities as head coach, but it wont be from t1.
anyone whos seen his streams, casts or anything else he does or says will know hes just not of the calibre.
as has been pointed out, head coaching has less to do with coaching and more to do with man management. ls would get laughed out of the room by the players and staff if he was to manage the team. he is probably the most ill equipped out of any "coach" in the scene to manage a team, let alone a high profile one like t1

Most esport 'news' is little more than a rumor mills and sensationalizes casual remarks from anyone in the scene. The article you sent is a whole 7 paragraphs about 1 minute of things LS said. It directly cites 2 sentences, and the rest is information padding about who LS is. Articles like that are exactly why I don't bother reading most esport news, it's akin to tabloid trash or yellow press, however you want to call it. There is no difference between this kind of article and what you can read in reddit comments, it's all speculation based on very little information.

Huge OG shakeup, rebranding to Astralias with Deficio and xPeke out (although xPeke still has his shares).

And yeah I usually agree that a lot of esports "news" is actually filler bullshit, this are pretty good exceptions to that rule. Its the facts of the situation (he's been getting offers to coach/head coach from all major regions), the fact that he's meeting with T1, and his past as the BBQ coach. That's shockingly solid journalism for the esports world tbh

You should also keep in mind LS is very good at self promotion, so he’s going to feed people just enough true information to get their imagination to lie for him. This isn’t an LS is a bad person comment either, it’s just self promotion 101.

My god. Having LS as a manager is close to the most horrible thing I can imagine.

I also dont even think he'd be that great of an analyst for a real top tier team. We're talking about a guy who is still convinced Fire Drake is better on mages than it is on ADC's.
