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. | ||

Sure, sending out players like MC, MVP and Nestea will make games much easier for him, but why not give chances to up and coming players?? A lot of you might say a good player should be able to qualify for code A, which is utter bullshit cuz Code A prelim is one of the hardest prelims , even great players like DRG struggled to get past prelims. Gaining an experience in broadcasted matches gives players confidence. In a word, coach kang is making a long term investment here. Lets just wait and see. this is exactly why korea is stronger than most of the world, The foreigner scene doesnt attempt to ever make long term investments, teams care about their ROI when they sign a player and thats it. This is why LGIM will truly find the next champion before the rest of the world. | ||

Just because there is no results doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Obviously there are a lot of people that don't feel that way, otherwise this post wouldn't exist. | ||

I don't think very many people actually dislike him for the way he coaches... it's more of a running joke that the... less intelligent crowd take in the wrong direction. I'll make the joke all the time when he sends out a random with Seed/Mvp/Nestea on the bench, but everyone (with half a brain) knows that giving the lesser players more exposure is more important than sending out your top ranked players non-stop. The very same top players that are probably practicing for their GSL Code S matches and don't want to reveal their prepared strategies or haven't practiced or studied vs that particular player and/or his race. The very same top ranked players that will be studied and prepared against extensively due to their massive amount of exposure.. | ||
