你好，我是WE的总教练火哥。

안녕하세요 WE팀 감독 이성은입니다.

Hello, I am WE’s head coach, Sungeun Lee.



Recently there are many rumors about WE.Spirit. As a head coach of Team WE, I do not want to see these rumors creating bad influences to our organization, staffs and players. Just to be clear, I do not know what Spirit did outside of my sight, so I will not be able to answer anything that I cannot confirm within my knowledge.



1. Stream times



I seldomly checked our players stream status, because I was worried that they are not fulfill mandatory stream hours and I also worried that too much stream might lead to reveal too much information about our strategies. Spirit did 80 to 120 hours of stream averagely as I remember. Now I think I should have documented this for fact check. Last June, I stopped whole Team WE’s personal stream for a while, because I wanted us to limit our strategy leak as much as possible due to our performance at LPL was pretty bad at that time. I am pretty sure many of Team WE fans remember this period of times.



However, if someone’s personal stream hours are over 100 hours and even 200 hours, that is a significant problem. It is all related to leak of strategies and so on, and I am saying this Spirit did get sniped ban towards him during our official matches.



2-1 Screams



I only saw two players that said “No” to any scream matches during 8 months, but Spirit was not one of those two players. Sometimes we cancelled screams because of back pain or wrist pain, then we take a break or players went to the hospital. Also, Spirit had to wake up 3~4 hours earlier than other players to go to the hospital with our translator. Maybe these things are misinterpreted as “said no to scream and decide to stream”. I agree that it could be interpreted either ways, but I am telling you now that nobody from Team WE players are refused to scream and still streamed their rank games.



2-2 Tardiness



After I arrived at China, I told Aluka that always creates the room for screams 10 minutes before the match. However, this standard is not kept well as time goes by and many other players (except Aluka) were late to join the match room. I asked players that why they are late, and some said they are just lazy or some said Korean players are late anyway so they also decided to join late. Overall, I think this is my mistake that I could not fix this in timely manner.



3. Relegation matches



Team WE have been through relegation matches after the summer season, but we did not have any practice matches before those games. Because one of the two (I mentioned in previous part of this) said “I will never practice before the relegation matches.”. Thankfully we stayed in LPL, but it was pretty shocking to me and I do not know what kind of deal/promise exchanged between the owner and Spirit.





4. Fans and PAPAPA



I know nothing about Spirit’s private life, but I always said something to any younger progamers. When it comes to relationship with fan, do it if you think that it is going to be serious but do not go for it if you are trying to find something like a one night stand or easy going stuff. I do not know if all the speculations are true, but please keep this in mind if you are progamer.



Just to add few points from my personal perspectives, I do not write this posting to help Korean and blame Chinese and I do not saying Koreans are better and Chineses are not. There are bad Koreans in the scene and there are great Chinese people that I want to admire. During last two seasons, we (Koreans that played in LPL/Chinese scene) definitely know that within our heart that we need to be better in some sense. I hope Koreans in Chinese scene to try harder to be great example to all, and you should be blamed if you behaved badly because you are not in your own country.



It was my first year of Chinese experience, I hope every Koreans in China, Europe, NA, Taiwan and all region’s Koreans have pride in them and continue doing great.



I also want to post this in Weibo, but my chinese is really bad.

It is my first posting in PGR (Korea’s famous eSports related website), have a good night.



Questions are welcome through PGR or Weibo.

I will answer if the question is something that I can answer.
