When the LPL lost to the LCK again in the S15 semi-finals, 25-year-old Lin Dong tore up his Ivy League admission letter. This international student, known as a "tactical genius", chose to return to China to coach - but no club was willing to give an outsider with no professional experience a chance.
Until the New Army PCG team came to him and handed him a blank check: "Five positions, buy whatever you want."
Everyone thought he would form the Galaxy Battleship, but Lin Dongjun chose five geniuses:
• A top orderer who is top-notch but has no sense of teamwork
• The boss's son, the unruly "Prince" jungler
• Mid laner with extreme hero pool and assassin skills
• Korean troll king AD who needs translation
• A mixed-race support with a fragile mentality
"What I want to build is not a star team built with money." Faced with doubts from the entire league, Lin Dongjun's eyes were firm:
"It is a team that can break the old pattern of LPL - an iron-blooded team."
