T1 Faces Controversy Over Coach KkOma’s Attitude, Sparking Fan Outrage
It can be said that during the 2025 Regular Season of T1, despite encountering the formidable opponent DRX, they have consistently delivered strong performances. However, the team’s current energy and the attitude of Coach KkOma have raised concerns among fans. Following a successful match, Gumayusi’s return was outstanding, and he was able to secure the MVP title. This marked a perfect stepping stone for the upcoming match against Gen.G. However, the issue arose immediately after the match regarding Coach KkOma’s demeanor.
Throughout the post-match press conference, many T1 fans expressed their confusion over Coach KkOma’s lack of a cheerful demeanor. Furthermore, when reporters directed questions towards Gumayusi’s mental state, the renowned LCK coach responded vaguely.
“There are always good points and points that need improvement in every match. I look at the overall performance of the entire team. All the players performed well, and we won 2-0. This is something I am very proud of. We will also improve the points that are not satisfactory,” Coach KkOma stated.
Not only Vietnamese fans but also the entire League of Legends community in Korea and the West have expressed disappointment at Coach KkOma’s attitude. Whether or not he acknowledges Gumayusi’s impressive performance is uncertain. However, in traditional sports, it is common for coaches to express admiration for their players. No one understands why the LCK coach is reluctant to do so.
Could T1’s Winds of Change Come from the Coaching Staff?
In the ongoing drama surrounding T1, the coaching staff has largely maintained a stoic silence. This is evident from some statements that seem to contradict Coach KkOma’s genuine intentions. At this point, many fans have started to form a consensus regarding the coaching staff’s attitude towards the team. If this is indeed the case, the winds of change for T1 may not have reached their peak, even if they achieve victories in upcoming matches.
