Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
The LPL Knight's Road game ended yesterday in the third game of the competition, and in the end WE defeated LGD with a score of 3-1 to successfully advance to the playoffs.
And in this process, there was a big incident in the BLG team, and coach Mao Kai was killed and resigned.
As we all know, this year's BLG team has changed the jungler, after Beichuan came to the team, BLG ushered in a wave of consecutive wins, and won 8 wins and 1 loss in the second round of the summit group, far exceeding expectations, while the killed WEI disappeared directly and did not join any team, and is currently in a state of rest.
What people didn't expect was that in the stage near the playoffs, BLG actually completed another killing, this time for the head coach Mao Kai, BLG's official statement said: After friendly negotiation between the two sides, League of Legends branch coach Mao Kai officially stepped down as coach from now on.
There are some polite words at the end, which are simply to thank Maokai for his efforts.
But everybody knows what this statement means, and it's before the playoffs start, proving that there may be something going on within the BLG team, such as a division of coaching philosophy on the coaching staff, or a difference in game philosophy between the coach and the players.
Normally, a team would not kill a coach before a key event, so this matter has caused a lot of heated discussions.
Regarding Mao Kai's departure, some viewers speculated that there was a contradiction off the field, and some viewers thought that Mao Kai had already been opened, but it was only announced now, both statements are possible, and the second guess has a relatively simple way to confirm it, that is, to look at the previous BLG starting lineup, who the starting coach is, to know whether it has been opened a long time ago.
As a result, through observation, we found that in the several summit group games near the playoffs, BLG's starting head coach was Bigwei, the coach was Easyhoon, and Mao Kai had not played for a long time.
In this case, there is a high probability that Mao Kai has already left the team, but it is only now officially announced.
It is worth mentioning that this year, BLG also came to a wave of midfield kills that shocked the audience, and in a game in the summit group, after playing the second game, coach Mao Kai was directly asked to leave the court and no longer participate in BP.
We all know that a club is mainly composed of management, coaching staff and players, in which the performance of the coaching staff and players affects the victory or defeat on the field, and the management will make personnel adjustments or training arrangements according to the feedback of the coaching staff and players, and killing the coach may be the result of the management + players not recognizing the coach at the same time.
Mao Kai used to be the champion head coach of the EDG team and played a vital role in the S11 Global Finals, but like many champion coaches in the LPL region, Mao Kai has not achieved any good results in many teams, and now he has been abandoned after coming to BLG, and I personally think that the main reason is the incompatibility or discord in the game concept.
BLG's style of play is aggressive, likes to play operations, and players also have their own comfort zone heroes, and Mao Kai may not be suitable for such a team.
It is possible that the coach is the main reason for the team's poor performance, especially in the case of poor results, the direction of the coach's guidance will determine whether the team can survive the difficulties.
From the perspective of consequentialism, BLG decided that Maokai was not suitable for BLG, so he chose to let his old friend Bigwei continue to coach, from the perspective of the audience, the most regrettable thing is that there are so many coaches in LPL, their peak period is too short, and it seems that there are deficiencies or great limitations in ability, which is also one of the reasons why LPL can't play results.
