We promised to win the championship together, so why did you all retire?

Logically speaking...

Even if those clubs have players they don't want to let go, surely they have at least one decent resume?

Even if the clubs don't want to release them, don't those players from the secondary leagues want to come to the LPL?

At least RG has now completed the process, and their team logo has already appeared on the LPL team page.

They are a truly new top-tier league team.

Even if there's a lack of confidence in the new team's strength, there shouldn't be so few people who want to join the LPL.

What does LPL stand for?

It represents a truly top-tier stage.

In terms of both the level of attention and the potential for recognition, it is completely incomparable to the second-tier league.

Even if RG is terrible, they're still an LPL team.

If the player performs well, they may attract the attention of other LPL clubs.

As a result, after the contract expired, he received an invitation from another club.

Even if RG is used as a stepping stone, it's still a pretty good start for players in the secondary leagues.

But the reality is that Chen Ye doesn't even have a decent job.

It's hard not to suspect that Chen Ye is being targeted.

However, his expression didn't change much.

RG Club is currently too famous in both the top and bottom lanes. From a business perspective, it's understandable that they are being targeted by others.

This is the most basic kind of business warfare.

Even though its complexity is only comparable to Zhongli's feigned death, it is indeed very useful.

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Ye quickly came up with a solution.

—Are LPL clubs not sending us resumes?

It doesn't matter.

There's more than just the LPL region in the world.

The clubs in the neighboring LCK are even more well-behaved.

As a manager, he has a rather favorable impression of Korean clubs.

—Because they really get things done!

While RG's coaching staff isn't entirely composed of Koreans, it's nearly as good as it is.

Many of the staff, including the head coach, assistant coaches, analysts, and psychological counselors, were recruited from South Korea.

Even a layman like Chen Ye could sense the level of professionalism of these people during their brief contact.

The head coach arrived less than two days ago, and his notebook is already quite full.

The assistant coach also spends all day with the analyst, constantly studying every recent update.

They even specifically reminded Chen Ye to assemble a team as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to establish a tactical system before the Demacia Cup.

The psychological counselors often sit in the monitoring room to see what the contestants are doing.

Chen Ye once asked him curiously why he didn't just go to the training room to observe.

They spoke very calmly.

Avoid contact unless absolutely necessary.

Maintaining distance will also make it easier to communicate with the players in the future.

Because some things contestants would rather tell strangers than friends.

Chen Ye was filled with respect after hearing this.

See, that's what you call professional.

Having made up his mind, Chen Ye tapped the table:

"Xiao Li, could you please call the three coaches over here?"

"Yes, manager."

After watching his assistant leave, Chen Ye closed his eyes to rest.

A short while later, four men walked over.

The man in the lead looked to be around thirty years old, with a simple buzz cut that gave him a very masculine appearance.

He was wearing a white down jacket and looked somewhat puzzled.

There was also a small notebook tucked under his right arm.

—A very classic hardcore coach image.

The second coach who came in was quite different.

This man looked to be almost forty years old. He wore rimless glasses, his face was a little puffy, and he seemed somewhat cramped when he sat in the chair.

The third one is even more impressive.

No kidding, this is seriously heavyweight.

This coach is probably the heaviest of the three, but he's not so fat that he looks terrible.

He also has a rather fierce appearance.

"Supervisor Chen, what's the matter?"

The head coach, who was leading the group, spoke first, his expression serious.

He casually waved the small notebook in his hand.

"If it's not too urgent, could you let me finish today's BP simulation first?"

In South Korea, the functions of a supervisor and a manager are similar.

The translator, who was at the back, spoke truthfully and translated his words to Chen Ye.

Chen Ye didn't keep them in suspense and told them about the current situation.

Then, with some anticipation, he asked:

"Coach Kkoma, can you contact the club over there? We're short of jungler and support players."

That's right.

The current head coach of RG Club is kkoma.

Although Kkoma had an outstanding early career as a coach, and could even be considered the world's strongest coach at one point.

but……

Inviting this coach is not difficult at all these days.

Because the Kkoma statue is almost completely broken now.

SKT was once one of the top teams in the LCK.

However, after SKT became T1, seeing that T1's performance was poor during the transition period, kkoma chose to step down from his position as supervisor and took over as T1's coach for a period of time.

However, this comeback was quite unsuccessful.

T1's performance doesn't seem to have improved much; in fact, it's gotten worse.

His draft picks and bans (BP) began to be frequently criticized by T1 fans.

They are generally considered to be "out of touch with the times," "old," and "frankly, dragging down the players."

—Sometimes South Korean audiences are really not wrong.

Kkoma's approach after his comeback has indeed become somewhat outdated.

kkoma was quite unconvinced at the time and even argued with his fans.

Then he left T1 for VG during Season 10.

As a result, after VG finished coaching, kkoma was completely stunned.

His grades were so bad they were unbearable to look at.

T1 fans got really excited when they saw it.

—See, everyone? I told you he couldn't do it!

At that time, T1 had an astonishing number of fans.

Therefore, this argument has spread extremely widely.

This directly led to kkoma almost completely ruining his reputation in the LCK after coaching VG.

He was completely demoralized in S11, but thankfully DK still believed in him.

However, after he went to DK, he served as a coach, not the head coach position he valued most.

This also meant that even though DK won second place in 2021, the public opinion surrounding kkoma didn't change much.

It's obvious that the help a supervisor provides to a team is not the same as that of a head coach.

He then received an invitation from RG Club, and after some hesitation, he accepted.

This matter has little to do with Bai Liang.

Because there are really not many good coaches, and even fewer who don't have contracts.

Even if Kkoma's ideas are outdated and flawed, as a veteran coach, he still has some experience to offer.

Furthermore, kkoma also expressed his desire to continue coaching on social media.

For this reason.

Even though Kkoma's contract as supervisor hadn't ended, Chen Ye tentatively sent out an application at the last minute.

And kkoma accepted without much hesitation.

—He was also holding back his anger.

While it wouldn't be fair to say they've formed a grudge against T1.

After all, he still really likes T1.

But for those T1 fans, kkoma is really unhappy.

Damn it, what kind of people did I play with in Season 5 or Season 6?

Marin.

Bengi.

Faker.

Bang.

Wolf.

They are all top-notch professional players.

What kind of weird lineup is your S8 lineup?

Top laners Untara and Thal, the two kings of UT are terrifying.

Jungler Xiaohai and mid laner Faker, who changed his playstyle, are both barely considered human.

Ironically, during that period, Pirean [the one who got 0/8 by BDD's Zoe] was playing a lot more.

The bot lane is even more formidable.

Bang and Wolf from S8 are really getting old; not everyone is like Lee Sang-hyeok.

The other support, Effort, performed quite well.

But what can a support player do when the whole team is in a slump?

kkoma also admitted that he was indeed out of touch with the times.

But this lineup is really...

Upon hearing Chen Ye's question, kkoma thought about the players he knew.

He sighed quickly.

"...What a pity."

"If it were November, I could help the club secure Lehends."

"But now..."

He thought back to the contestants he had met, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Effort, how's it going?"

Chen Ye scratched his head.

He was new to the industry, and there were many contestants he didn't really know.

"Could you introduce it to me?"

"no problem."

kkoma smiled slightly.
