Tom was a jungler, Roach was a jungler, and Sky was a mid sub. Having players in the coaching positions feels like it attributes some sort of success. NRG being another example, with them having multiple retired or ex-players on coaching staff. Playing the game versus strictly being a coach analytically is very different. Akin to avid football or American football fan. A father coaching their child’s sport match because they’ve been in their position is vastly different from a person who only watches the sport.
Fun fact, T1 head coach is just a title for people who have to deal with their annoying fan.
