Context: LG-IM's Head Coach gets routinely criticized in and outside of Korea for frequently using his team's lesser players, which may have contributed to his team's streak of poor results in the GSTL. | ||

I respect Coach Kang and no one can ever argue that he hasn't produce more individual championships than all the other teams, and it is wonderful that he is posting on TL <3 That being said we have to objectively consider IM's historical performance in the GSTL: Feb 2011 - Winners! March 2011 - Runner ups! May 2011 - Did not qualify T___T 2011 Season 1 - Third Place in Group B, out the first round of the playoffs. 2012 Season 1 - Eliminated the second round by NSH. Having watched every single one of their GSTL matches, I believe to some extent the criticism is justified. I am not saying Coach Kang shouldn't send out lower tier players in the earliest matches in a series, but if he truly wants to show us as many "great" matches as possible, he should be picking the players that will guarantee the team's advancement to the later rounds of the tournament. This is especially true when IM is already down a few matches in a series or they are at risk of being eliminated. There is no doubt in my mind that if IM had made it to the finals last season instead of Slayers there is no way they would have been all-killed by Gumiho  Good luck Coach Kang, we will always cheer for you and your players! Just sometimes your strategic priorities can break our hearts :\ | ||

Yes, they don't do so well in GSTL, but does it really matter? I get the feeling he wants to give the other players on the team some experience, which is totally valid. It's not like MVP and Nestea are lacking time spent in the booth. | ||

I also want to say something to those who have criticised LG-IM's roster choices. If you were in a team of superstars, how would you feel if you were never picked for games? How would you feel if you never got the opportunity to prove yourself because in the opinion of the public, there are better players on your team? Start making some sense guys! Winning at all costs mentality is not the right one for everyone, and is certainly not the policy of LG-IM. Please respect that! | ||
