About T1-LS situation.
I rly don't wanna see the hates going on between the fans so I want to tell you this story as one of the people who can understand it the best.
Personally, it seems to me that we do not understand the differences in culture and background between each others.
When you think of LS in Western culture, the phrase "smart intellectuals about games" will come to mind very easily. If you think about why, he was an LCK global commentator, and because he could communicate various opinions with you through personal stream or Twitter.
On the side, what about Koreans?
LS is not such a familiar name for Koreans.
Until this situation, LS was not well known to most Koreans. Sometimes when we see LS's name on LCK Korean broadcast for the predictions, many ppl asked "Who is that?" and.. only a few ppl knew him as LCK Global Commentator.
Under such circumstances, it has been revealed that LS may be the head coach of Korea's most famous team, so of course many people will try to figure out who is this guy.
So if you start to learn about LS from a Korean point of view, the easiest thing to know about it is the BBQ issues. It's the Untara-Malice situation. About this one, LS made huge mistake towards Korean fans. So obviously we have rly negative perspective on LS.
So I think it's natural that we have different perceptions because we have different perspective.
For Western fans, they're like, "Why are you pushing out someone who's rly smart and awake like LS?"and for Asian fans, "Why bringing in a strange person who has caused troubles before?".
I am not writing this to protect LS or anyone. I just wanted to let fans on both sides know that we have no choice but to interpret LS from different backgrounds. The KEY POINT is that LS has not communicated well with Korean fans, and furthermore, Korean culture, and that part is causing this conflict. I don't think anyone did right job on this. Therefore, I rly think parties should communicate with fans ASAP.
