Calling League of Legends Coaches 🎮
Are you currently coaching a semi-professional League of Legends team?
I’m conducting a study examining how esports coaches design, deliver and review team practice. This is part of my PhD research at @QUT.
The project aims to better understand coaching in competitive League of Legends and contribute to evidence-informed approaches to coach development and practice design.
Participation involves:
🎤 Two online, audio-recorded interviews (30–60 minutes each): one before the training observation period and one after the recorded sessions have been analysed.
🎥 Recording and securely sharing approximately 3–5 upcoming team training sessions for research analysis.
The study focuses on the coaching environment rather than evaluating individual player performance.
By participating, coaches can contribute their experiences and perspectives to research that may inform future esports coach education and practice design. Participants will also receive a summary of the research findings upon completion.
Interested or have questions? Get in touch!
📧 [email protected] or drop me a DM here.
This study has received approval from the QUT Human Research Ethics Committee (10534) and is supervised by Adam Gorman and Craig McNulty, PhD
♥️ and 🔄 greatly appreciated!
GG Switzerland. Our ENC qualifier run ends here.
Thanks for everything, team:
@MacCLol @EragonUK @ShikariLoL @whiteakitout @BZ_EUW @Deadlyl0l @Kasing
Furthermore, thank you to everyone who came out and supported us as your national team.
It was an honour to represent you.❤️
Time to take revenge for this attempted sabotage of the British people.
Playing Switzerland in 10 minutes to kick off day 2 of the ENC qualifier.
If we win, we play Belgium or Germany next.
Let's go GB!
We take a W versus Iceland to finish the first day of the ENC qualifier 2-1!
I'm super happy with our results today and excited to have the opportunity to come back in the lower bracket.
Our next matches are against Switzerland and the loser of Belgium/Germany tomorrow.
In Round 2, we lost to Italy.
We're headed into the lower bracket now versus Iceland.
All to play for to make it to Saturday!
We take the first game against Austria to start our ENC qualifier with a win!
Great work from the team, but a lot more for us to do if we're going to make it all the way to the main event.
Follow our games on @BZ_EUW or @beronielol's streams 💪
Italy next up in a few minutes!

First year as a coach, LFT for Summer
I costream every LPL game & will give you the best resources + meta read.
Pertinent and succinct.
This issue needs to be looked into, as it is occurring far too frequently.
(1/3) Lets be clear of what ur current system is doing @drewlevin :
I can Q on my Chall acc ANY role, pick the HARDEST champ in game like Azir, first time, and NOTHING will happen.
But if I lock in off-meta on my main role (even on second low-Masta acc) - just one report bans me.
Jeff has always been a bastion of esports done right.
If you are recruiting for an operations or team leadership role, he is second to none.
After a great few years at @RSVGG, I’ve been given notice of redundancy from my role.
I’m incredibly proud of what we built, particularly around team culture and creating an environment where players & staff could perform at their best.
We delivered strong results across content and competitive performance, often competing against organisations with far greater resources, while giving fans a level of transparency that isn’t always common in esports.
To everyone who supported us over the years, thank you. Your support meant more than you’ll know! 💙
Alongside my role leading Britain for @ENC_EN, I’m now exploring what’s next.
I’m particularly interested in operations and team leadership roles, as well as advisory work where I can help build strong environments & high-performing teams.
If you’re working on something interesting, feel free to reach out!
🚨 Attention upcoming/current ERL midlaners:
Would you like coaching or feedback on how to get to the next level?
I am opening limited FREE spots for positional coaching regarding an upcoming project.
DM me if you're interested in improving, ideally with a POV VOD if possible.
