Calling League of Legends Coaches 🎮 Are you currently coaching a semi-professional League of Legends team? I’m conducting a study examining how esports coaches design, deliver and review team practice. This is part of my PhD research at @QUT. The project aims to better understand coaching in competitive League of Legends and contribute to evidence-informed approaches to coach development and practice design. Participation involves: 🎤 Two online, audio-recorded interviews (30–60 minutes each): one before the training observation period and one after the recorded sessions have been analysed. 🎥 Recording and securely sharing approximately 3–5 upcoming team training sessions for research analysis. The study focuses on the coaching environment rather than evaluating individual player performance. By participating, coaches can contribute their experiences and perspectives to research that may inform future esports coach education and practice design. Participants will also receive a summary of the research findings upon completion. Interested or have questions? Get in touch! 📧 kabir.bubna@hdr.qut.edu.au or drop me a DM here. This study has received approval from the QUT Human Research Ethics Committee (10534) and is supervised by Adam Gorman and Craig McNulty, PhD ♥️ and 🔄 greatly appreciated!

After 3 successful years with KC, I’m looking for new coaching opportunities, mainly in the LEC / LCS. I am mostly looking for a Head Coach, Assistant Coach, or Strategic Coach position. During my 3 years at KC, I was able to coach and win at all levels (LEC / LFL / LFL2) with all types of players (Rookies, Veterans, Koreans, Beginners) and in every position (Head Coach, Assistant Coach, Positional Coach, Strategic Coach). Most of my success as a coach comes from building the right group of players and staff while creating a winning culture around them. I have tackled all aspects of competitive play: communication, micro, laning, teamfighting (setup, execution, key-spell usage), macro decision-making, vision control, drafting, and scouting.

Re: Duo queue matchmaking penalties Saw some discussion about this At lower ranks, ie. below Emerald, there's basically no penalty for duoing. It only starts to kick in in a small way in Emerald/Diamond and higher at higher ranks as duo communication/coordination becomes more impactful It's tuned so that games at all ranks are fair, duo or no duo
