There are many strong competitors even in the LCS this year, though, and going that far will be a challenge. Cloud9 bowed out of Worlds 2021 in the quarterfinals, to Korean team Gen.G. “I thought, watching Worlds this past year, that LCK and LPL teams actually regressed in terms of gameplay, and I thought that it actually looked possible for western teams to legitimately take games off or even actually upset, or beat them outright,” LS said in the announcement. LS stated that his goals for Cloud9 this year are to win the LCS, and to challenge Korean and Chinese teams at Worlds.
To that end, Cloud9 will be bringing over several Korean Challenger players to help with coaching and scrims for the team. He has long held that good coaches should be able to go toe-to-toe with their players in lane. In the announcement video, LS has already shown he’s putting his ideas to the test. Now though, he has the resources of a top-tier North American organization behind him. Previous coaching stints included Gravity and Tempo Storm in North America, and bbq Olivers in Korea (where he became the first foreigner to join a Korean team in an official capacity). LS hasn’t coached professionally in a number of years, and was largely unsuccessful. We’ll now see what a team with LS and his thoughts at the helm looks like. He’s also butted heads with many western LoL figures on some of his viewpoints. These ideas have seen him gain a large following and a large group of doubters. He heavily promotes concepts such as freezing lanes, prioritizing tower plating over rift herald, and a completely different approach to drafting. LS is well known as one of the most controversial figures in League of Legends. LS’ controversial ideas will get a spotlight

He continued to say that, while he couldn’t confirm or deny any of his full involvement, he had agreed to help Cloud9 regardless of whether or not he became their head coach, and he did like the moves they made this offseason. “A lot of people over the last couple of weeks have speculated that a lot of the Korean players that are coming to Cloud9, or a lot of the decisions that have been made, lead to me in some way,” LS said in the official announcement video.
