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.

Watching the TL behind the scenes for the IPLTAC has made me realize how much really goes into lineup decisions that we don't even see. It's so much more than put best player out in best matchup and I hope detractors learn to see that in time.

Nice post. LG-IM fighting!
But I think "IM coach decision" is a meme by now and I don't think you can do anything against it even if you explain it reasonably :D

Not an IM fan here (besides Nestea, Losira and Seed), but I've always respected his philosophy in choosing players. It's definitely the best way to build a deep team and it gains them stage experience that would eventually transfer to individual leagues and tournaments.

Well everyone would take stabs at the IM coach because he wouldn't just send out the big name players right away. But to be honest everyone looks pretty stupid now because... look how much the IM players have developed. They have clearly the best group of individual talent, rival only by ST.

Love the IM coach. Don't know why everyone criticises his decisions. If you go back and realise that the players you were badmouthing him for sending out were Seed, Yoda and First, you'll see how silly it all was. There's a reason the reporters voted him the best coach. <3 LG-IM!

How amazing that a representative from a Korean professional progaming team is a member of Teamliquid. I hope this site provides extra priviliges for him for reaching out to us "foreigners" and for giving us an opportunity for a front seat position towards news and content pertaining to LG-IM!

Thanks and welcome to Teamliquid!

someone should probably explain to him that the outspoken TL posters are a minority in IM's western fanbase.

edit: with that being said, i can tell he's quite an intelligent individual.
