LGD Gaming released a statement on their weibo to dispel rumors that Yoon "Homme" Sungyoung coached for the team during the Playoffs. In the post, LGD gaming also revealed that Taiwanese analyst Huang "Firefox" Dingxiang has been promoted to the coach position and will coach LGD through the World Championship.

In LGD's statement, they made three points.

I. LGD insists Homme, the coach of Vici Gaming, never held any position with LGD Gaming or received compensation from LGD Gaming.

II. Since LGD Gaming were determined to qualify for the 2015 World Championship, and Homme had a friendship with Gu "imp" Seungbin and Choi "Acorn" Cheonju as their former teammate, he provided advice to them on holiday. LGD Gaming had hoped that Vici Gaming would also qualify for the World Championship. Three days before LGD participated in the LPL Final, Homme had already returned home to South Korea to finish his vacation.

III. Firefox will coach LGD Gaming during the 2015 World Championship. Homme will not appear on any official staff lists related to LGD or accompany LGD Gaming in any capacity for the event. Homme will attend the World Championship as a private citizen as a learning experience for himself and Vici Gaming. While he's there, he may give advice to imp, Acorn, and other ex-Samsung players. LGD want to clarify that Homme would attend the 2015 World Championship even if LGD did not qualify.

LGD concluded their statement by saying they will also meet with L.ACE and Riot Games to maintain positive communication. They asked that their fans not spread rumors and continue to support LGD Gaming.

The post did not reference that Homme signed with LGD prior to the start of summer season as a co-coach only to leave the team before the season resumed when Vici Gaming bought back his contract.

Firefox, the new Head Coach, has been with LGD Gaming since Week 7 of LPL Summer as the team's analyst. Members of the team have attributed a lot of the champion select preparations to him. He used to coach Taiwan Esports Dragon in Taiwan.
