H.O.T-Forever AMA (Ex KT Rolster Head Coach)

After some internal discussion, we have decided to let this thread stay up. Although we cannot allow people to just post up their resumes on our site, we have found a nice alternative that will allow the thread to remain open. We have changed it into an AMA. Something along the lines of: "Hello, I'm H.O.T-Forever, this is what I've done, please ask me stuff."

So everyone, please feel free to ask H.O.T-Forever anything you would like (Please note: He has every right to not answer a question he doesn't feel comfortable answering)

Hello, my name is Do-kyung Kang (a.k.a. H.O.T-Forever) and I was the head coach of KT Rolster Starcraft 2 team till November.
As ProLeague has been discontinued, I am currently looking for an opportunity as a coach for an e-sports team.
Considering my strengths and familiarity, I personally believe that League of Legends would best fit my aptitudes, but it does not matter for me which game it is, as long as it is e-sports.
I have built my career in e-sports for 18 years, as a player and a coach. During my career as a coach, I have made a structured system of managing and coaching players. Using this system, I have successfully lead my team to win the most pro games in Korea.

Please contact me:

CURRICULUM VITAE

PERSONAL INFORMATION

 Name: Do-kyung, Kang
 Game id : H.O.T-Forever
 Nationality: Republic of Korea
 E-mail: kdk43211@naver.com
 official fan site : http://cafe.daum.net/hot486 (member : 19,000)

Education

 Wonkwang Digital University, 2003 – 2012

Summary of Qualifications
I have over 18 years of experience in e-sports.
When I played for Hanbit Starcraft, I was the zerg player who had the most wins, and I made runner-up twice in OGN Starleague
My biggest success in e-sports is with KT Rolster; I truly believe that I am the best in the field. Before I became the head coach, KT had not won in ProLeague for 10 years. After I took over, KT won in ProLeague, twice in BW and once in SC2.

I don't know that I would put your physical address out there like that... Perhaps have them PM or email you if they need it instead?

Agree - best option for these guys is to switch to LoL..

Even Chinese teams are shelling out top dollar for Koreans and coaches.

iloveoov became a LoL coach for Afreeca if I'm not mistaken, pity this might be the only course of action for certain people now... at least until an alternative comes into view

As many before me, couldn't stress more but to get to the LoL side. I think someone with that much experience, as a pgm AND as a coach in one of the greatest (arguably the greatest obv, kt best kt ;p) esport team ever, will have a decent chance to get a lol coach job.

Still, you'll have to learn the game, so I hope you like it a little at least...
