After the system malfunctioned, I became the person in charge of LCK.

"Lee Doo-hwan, that's enough."

Just as Lee Doo-hwan was reprimanding Lee Sang-ho, Kim Jung-soo, the coach who had just arrived at T1, couldn't stand it anymore and finally spoke up to stop him.

Kim Jung-soo, the champion coach of S8IG!

He certainly has some skill, but...

Jin Zhu is someone who highly values ​​his right to speak!

In the LCK, coaches do have a lot of say, unlike in the LPL.

In the LPL, if a coach dares to say anything to a well-known player, the other player will likely give him a hard time, and it's not impossible that they might even turn around and yell at the coach.

Of course, it's also their own fault for not being ambitious enough.

In the LPL, coaches are called coaches to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, they're just people who order takeout and are pushed out to take the blame when the game is lost.

The reason for this is ultimately because they are not skilled enough and cannot convince others, while professional players are generally in their prime.

So what right do you, a third-rate coach, have to tell me what to do?

But LCK is different. Coaches have a lot of say and can even decide whether a player can play!

only……

But T1 is a bit special!

Although Kim Jeong-soo is a championship coach, Lee Sang-hyeok, a three-time world champion, means that Lee Sang-hyeok cannot act as freely as he did in other LCK teams.

After all, the team has a three-time champion, which is a real honor!

No matter how much influence your coach has, he will always be affected.

This made Kim Jung-soo, who really liked to have his own say, a little unhappy!

Therefore, he had to drastically reduce Lee Sang-hyeok's influence in order to solidify his own position within the team!

Kim Jung-soo's plan was to minimize Lee Sang-hyeok's appearances.

Professional players, since they play fewer matches, naturally have less influence and discussion.

If necessary, they can even start fighting amongst themselves and cause trouble on the field!

It can be said that after joining the new T1, Kim Jung-soo had planned everything perfectly.

Unfortunately, fate is unpredictable!

The initial ideas were somewhat disrupted by the return of another veteran SKT player!

……

"Lee Doo-hwan, what's the problem? We can sit down and sort it out later."

How can they train properly if you're like this?

Upon hearing Kim Jung-soo's words, Lee Doo-hwan stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the very assertive coach.

He knew very well why the club had sent Kim Jung-soo over to provide guidance.

To put it bluntly, the club is planning to "reduce his status" because Lee Sang-hyeok hasn't brought the team good results in recent years. They intend to weaken his benefits within the team and use the legacy he built with SKT to promote other players.

Finally, they'll exploit Lee Sang-hyeok to the fullest extent, squeezing out every last bit of value he has, before kicking him out of the team.

To be more precise, it weakens the remaining prestige of the old SKT team, since the current T1 can be regarded as a completely new team.

It may appear to be SKT on the surface, but the core of the team has long since become mostly T1!

However, since he was born from SKT, his former fans will continue to support T1 just as they supported SKT!

Just as Lee Doo-hwan was about to say something, the system's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

……

[Ding! Mission issued!]

Once the palace is opened, there's no turning back!

The former club is now riddled with problems. With the departure of the original members, most of the current members are new faces.

They are still members of the club, but they have lost their original aspirations.

Having forgotten their original intentions, can they still represent the original club?

They want to steal the fruits of the original group's collective efforts!

This is an internal struggle between an old gang and a new organization!

As a veteran who helped the gang establish its illustrious reputation, the host should now have an even greater duty to step forward and defend everything the gang owns.

Please, host, thwart their conspiracy and eradicate this gang cancer!

[Mission Reward: Firearms Mastery!!!]

……

Lee Doo-hwan: "???"

Even Lee Doo-hwan, who had already experienced the awfulness of the system, almost couldn't help but want to curse at this moment.

Firearms expert? Are you serious?

Lee Doo-hwan silently complained to himself before slowly looking at Kim Jung-soo, whose face was filled with displeasure.

"Coach Kim is so impressive!"

Your voice is really loud, louder than the contestants'!

"What do you mean?" Kim Jung-soo's heart skipped a beat when he saw that Lee Doo-hwan was not giving him any face at all.

My worst fears have come true!

He originally intended to win over Lee Doo-hwan, but now it seems unlikely.

If there were only one Lee Sang-hyeok, he would have plenty of ways to fight against his opponent in the palace.

But if we add Lee Doo-hwan to the mix, then things become less clear.

There is more than one three-time champion in League of Legends.

but……

A four-time champion is a completely different story!!!

……

What do you mean?

Jeongsoo, I couldn't be bothered with you when you were on IG, but this is SKT!

It's our players who are playing on the field, not you.

All of T1's honors were earned through the hard work of our older generation of SKT players, not by you.

You and these younger generation, you all reap the benefits without sowing, do you know that?

So! When I'm disciplining someone, it's not your place to interrupt!

"you……"

Kim Jung-soo was very angry.

Keep in mind that this is South Korea, where hierarchy is very important.

Kim Jung-soo, being born in 85, values ​​this even more.

But now?

This kid actually called me by my own name, that's truly outrageous!

However, just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Gu Shengbin.

"Jing-soo hyung, that's not what I meant."

Besides, he was doing it for the good of our team!

After all, there's an old Chinese saying: "Without rules, there can be no order!"

Koo Sung-bin used the same trick Lee Doo-hwan had used to fool him to quell the rapidly escalating tension between them.

Ultimately, Gu Shengbin is a local, and influenced by traditional hierarchical values, he worries that Lee Doo-hwan will suffer when facing an old monster like Kim Jung-soo.

Da Guo has helped me so much, and he's unwilling to back down, so it's no big deal for me to mediate for him.

"snort!"

Kim Jung-soo was definitely unhappy, but considering Lee Doo-hwan's status and the fact that there was only one four-time League of Legends champion, he had no choice but to take the opportunity to speak up.

"Tell the other side that we're done playing, let's take a break, and we'll review the match later."

Seeing that the usually assertive Kim Jung-soo hadn't said a word in front of Lee Doo-hwan, Kim Chang-dong, Lee Sang-ho, and the others were all a little dumbfounded.

Although the coach didn't back down, what's the difference between changing the subject and giving in disguise?

Looking at Lee Doo-hwan, who was silent at the moment, seemingly lost in thought.

Apart from Lee Sang-hyeok and Koo Sung-bin, everyone else involuntarily swallowed hard, and subtly took two steps back.
