Chapter 94 Head Coach Chen Song
No one looked at him.
Karam shook his head, pushed open the door, and left.
Wang Sicong returned to his chair and turned his gaze to Chen Song.
"Chen Song".
"Here!" Chen Song stood up straight.
"You will be taking over as the head coach of IG from now on."
,
"yes!
'
"I've been watching all the recent matches, and Ning's Nidalee performance has been quite good." Wang Sicong said thoughtfully, "The Intercontinental Cup is coming up soon, so I won't say much more. Focus on preparing for the Intercontinental Cup, and I hope you can give me a satisfactory result."
I will do my best.
Wang Sicong nodded: "Xiao Luo, the rest is up to you."
After he finished speaking, he got up and left the training room.
After Su Xiaoluo left, Chen Song came to the players and said, "Everyone, don't train tonight. Go back to your rooms and rest early. After you wake up, pack your luggage. We're flying to South Korea tomorrow."
"We have four days until the intercontinental competition. This is the first time I've taken you abroad to participate in a competition since I officially became the head coach."
"After so many days of getting to know each other, I won't say much more. Let's work hard together."
However, no one left beforehand, which moved Chen Song deeply.
Mafa then pulled Chen Song aside and whispered, "Chen Song, congratulations on becoming the head coach. Please continue to coach well in the days to come."
Head Coach Chen Song, please continue coaching.
Chen Song was taken aback by Mafa's words, and then felt a little awkward.
He knew that these Korean coaches were very disciplined and clearly distinguished between seniors and juniors, and between superiors and subordinates.
Despite how well Mafa and Chen Song got along before, he always treated Chen Song as an equal.
The tone now clearly indicates that Chen Song is being treated as a superior, respectful and polite, with a hint of distance in the voice.
Chen Song sighed: "Coach Mafa, we are all coaches, and we are all doing this for the good of IG. I'm not Korean, so you don't need to treat me like a Korean."
""
"Besides, when we were working together to study draft picks and discuss player performance, things were going well, weren't they? How come now that I'm the coach, it's made us drift apart?"
He understands that this is Mafa's national culture, which is deeply ingrained in his mind as a Korean, but he believes that if the team wants to achieve results, the coaching staff must first work together as a cohesive unit so that they can communicate and cooperate better.
Mafa smiled and didn't dwell on the issue. Instead, he started talking about the Intercontinental Cup: "Coach Chen Song, the biggest opponent in this Intercontinental Cup is still LCK. How confident are you?"
'
Chen Song pondered: "I can't guarantee the entire region, but just considering IG, I think we can beat LCK."
It's about 50/50.
"I'm relieved to hear you say it's a 50/50 chance."
Mafa frowned: "To be honest, before you came, I thought we were doomed in this Intercontinental Tournament."
Chen Song stared at Mafa with a puzzled look: "Is that really the case? The strength of our IG players is undeniable. It's understandable that the entire region is no match for LCK, but I don't quite agree with the idea that IG is doomed in the Intercontinental Cup."
"This isn't a question about the players' abilities, it's a question about Coach Karam."
Chen Song understood what Mafa meant.
Based on Karam's drafting strategy and playstyle, it's indeed possible that what Mafa said might be true.
However, Chen Song's "50/50" was just a simple guess about the strength of the IG and LCK players.
How well they performed ultimately depends on the outcome on the field.
After Chen Song conducted research on the LCK region during S8 and S9, he discovered that the LCK's dominance had declined significantly in the past two years. Although the LCK is still the strongest region in the world, several teams no longer possess the dominance of SKT, including SKT.
Yourself.
That's how competitive sports are; champions come and go, and no one can win forever.
Besides LCK, there are also LMS teams FW and MAD, and Vietnam's VCS team.
The LMS region was initially one of the top regions in the world, but over time, it has fallen out of the top tier. Meanwhile, the LPL, having won the S8 World Championship, is showing signs of becoming the leading region.
The Vietnamese team, needless to say, is a complete mess.
Chen Song stared at the computer screen: "Coach Mafa, for this Intercontinental Cup, IG has a bye on the first day. We have two matches on July 5th. The first match is against FW, and the second match is against SKT."
"Both of these matches are crucial. Although FW is not in good form right now, their experience in major tournaments is undeniable, and they cannot be underestimated. As for SKT, it goes without saying that although their performance in the Summer Split was not ideal, they are still SKT."
Mafa nodded: "Faker's form is undeniably excellent, but we have Rookie. Khan and others are indeed having some issues, but teams like theirs have an exceptionally strong ability to adjust. We absolutely cannot use their Summer Split results to evaluate the Rift Rivals. In the final BO01 of the group stage, SKT will definitely go all out."
"It's getting late, let's discuss the details tomorrow, I'm going to sleep."

The next morning, light streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Chen Song sat up in bed and rubbed his sore neck.
Last night he studied the opponents' information in the Intercontinental Cup and didn't fall asleep until after 3 a.m., but his biological clock woke him up as soon as he woke up. His mind was filled with draft picks and tactics, making it impossible for him to sleep soundly.
After washing up and leaving the room, I found the training room door was already open.
TheShy sat in front of his computer, but the screen wasn't showing ranked games; instead, it was displaying recordings of SKT's matches.
"Shy is up so early and studying hard."
Chen Song went inside.
TheShy turned around and smiled shyly: "I woke up on time and thought I'd check out SKT's recent match habits."
Chen Song sat down in his seat: "What did you see?"
"Khan is very strong in lane, but I'm confident I can beat him. As long as I gain an advantage in the top lane, they'll be very anxious."
""
TheShy's words were brief but direct.
This has always been TheShy's way of speaking: he doesn't say much, but every word he utters is crucial.
Chen Song nodded: "In terms of individual ability, I think Khan is still not as good as you. I will try my best to improve the BP."
This applies to your laning phase, including research on Khan.
""
"As for jungler CiId, I saw him outplayed by you in your highlight reel, so CiId might target you in the match."
"With Shy here, I'm not afraid of being targeted at all."
Ning walked into the training room yawning: "Besides, with me here, I'm determined to raise CiId's pigs."
"Hey, isn't this my S8 FMVP jungler, Gao Zhenning?"
,
Chen Song joked, "What wind blew in today that woke you up so early?"
"I get so excited about taking on SKT that I can't sleep."
""
Ning leaned back in his seat, crossed his right leg, and shook it.
Shortly after, JackeyLove and Baolan entered the training room one after the other.
The two were whispering to each other, occasionally bursting into laughter.
