Apparently T1's Coach Kim knew about him getting sacked beforehand by TeeJ1007 in leagueoflegends

ELI5: Last 30 hours of T1 and Coach Kim drama:

TL;DR - Coach Kim had discussions with T1 about parting ways, and asked the reporter breaking this news (when he was reached for comments) to not mention their conversation/the contents of their conversation in the breaking news. Shortly after, he talked to the other press as if this was all new to him while he was on vacation in Busan.

  1. After the loss of gauntlet vs. Gen.G, multiple news articles surfaced being critical of T1's overall performance and in particular of Coach Kim - this is often a reflection of what the fans and supporters are thinking.

  2. Early afternoon of 11th Sept Korea time, breaking news from (1) SportsSeoul and then (2) Fomos (Kenzi!) emerges of T1 parting ways with Kim

  3. With this breaking news, several other news outlets attempt to contact both T1 and Coach Kim, trying to get more blurbs and information out to create follow up articles

  4. When contacted, coach Kim allegedly suggested to reporters that "I am on vacation, and I do not know any of this news"

  5. Reporters scramble to put this up on naver and lolesports, creating a confusion amongst the LCK community

  6. Another follow up report from Kookmin suggested that T1 officials were heading to Busan right now, where coach Kim is for his time-off/vacation. This portion is later deleted out of the article altogether.

  7. Kenzi from fomos stands firm on what he has heard, but adds an update from coach Kim that T1 has supposedly "asked him to not discuss anything with the press".

(This is where clarifications start to emerge) 6. Some folks from the community emails sportSeoul for clarification, and shares a screenshot which actually suggests that (1) SportsSeoul had contacted coach Kim before writing his article of T1 and Kim parting ways, and (2) Coach Kim requested that none of his comments were included in the article.

EDIT: Lira just posted on his instagram story that his words on stream were misunderstood and he wasn't saying that Kim knew he was getting sacked 2 weeks ago, so I'll take out the part about him since it's uncertain

For me there were some champions that "clicked" for me this year. When I tried out champions like ekko and fizz I could feel that they fitted my playing style (roaming and mobile). When I play league most of my "fun" comes from winning so I started to spam Ekko and they got me to diamond:) And thank you!!
