Hello, This is Coach of LG-IM. - Page 9

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.

Gogogo IM! I like seeing underused players in the GSTL anyway.

I actually support coach Kang's philosophy when it comes to GSTL matches.

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.

Well, I can certainly see where the LG-IM players get some of their fighting spirit.

I don't think this thread was necessary, In my opinion LG-IM consist so many amazing players, a caliber of Code S champions so there is no need for the coach to worry about anything but keep doing what he has been doing so far because it has definitely worked. 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..

honestly with LG-IM's results in the GSTL, fans have all the right to criticize his coaching decisions, and in turn he has all the right to defend himself

Eh, I don't see anything wrong with his post really, but I would rather he defend himself with results

I do respect his coaching ability and trust him if he thinks he needs to sacrifice a few matches to build a stronger team in the long term, though.

I actually appreciate a coach who does not always send out their best players and allow the lesser skilled players to hone their skills and get a chance to show it on stage. Much respect to him.

Like in football, you don't always send out your best players. Coaches have some tactics and aren't dumb, it's ridiculous when people assert something as if they know it better than an expert like a coach. So to the people who are critical, be a bit more modest, because you very likely have no idea what's going on backstage. This applies to all sports imo and is so annoying.
