The LPL region continues to receive new "drama" with the focus this time being coach Daeny.

Coach Daeny was accused of being an "insider" who helped LCK win the World Championship

In recent years, Coach Daeny has been a prominent name with a strong personality as well as remarkable achievements in the League of Legends industry. Even after moving to work at LPL, this coach still won the love of fans by breathing new life into WBG. Even at Worlds 2023, coach Daeny also helped WBG have a remarkable achievement as World Runner-up despite being only the 4th seeded team of the LPL.

However, on the evening of December 11, Coach Daeny suddenly became the center of "drama" in the LPL region. It all stemmed from a broadcast by Coach Kenzhu when the former RNG captain said that Daeny had violated many principles when working as a coach. The audience then found another video of Kenzhu when the coach hinted that someone at LPL had intentionally revealed the strategy to the LCK side to help this region win the World Championship.

Coach Kenzhu's statements imply that Coach Daeny is an "insider" of the LCK side

"I know some behind-the-scenes stories and frankly speaking, I don't like Daeny at all. For me, he has principled problems when doing coaching work so he doesn't like Daeny at all. He is now Currently making a good impression, but when everything is discovered, you will have to thank me for warning me in advance about this coach" - coach Kenzhu shared.

LPL fans wholeheartedly protect coach Daeny

It was thought that with the "exposing" from Kenzhu, Coach Daeny would receive a lot of criticism from the LPL audience, but it was surprising when the opposite happened. As soon as Coach Kenzhu's statement was widely shared, many LPL viewers thought that these were just "bitter" words from the former "captain" of RNG. The reason comes from the fact that coach Kenzhu has not actually been officially signed by any team while coach Daeny was recruited by a new "giant" like IG.

"Honestly, the top LPL teams don't want to hire Kenzhu because he is incompetent. The owners and managers are all smart and know who is the real coach between Maokai and Kenzhu" - An audience fake sharing

"Is it a matter of principle? You mean Daeny took over the coaching position at IG, right? Is this how you want to become a celebrity?" - Another audience commented sarcastically

"Last year WBG reached the Worlds Finals but no team practiced against WBG. One team improved faster than the others and now you're talking about principles? What is that, Kenzhu" - A player others agree

Remember at the recent World Championship 2024, coach Daeny had a very funny "missed celebration" moment and quickly became "viral". This moment shows that this coach really wants WBG to win convincingly to win glory at Worlds. Obviously, for someone so dedicated to his team, it's hard to believe that Coach Daeny is an "inside guy" for the LCK side and reveals the tactics of LPL teams.

Coach Daeny's dismayed face when WBG "threw the game" showed that he really wanted his students to win

Therefore, the LPL audience's suspicions that coach Kenzhu is just intentionally creating "drama" to lower the reputation that coach Daeny has is very likely an accurate assessment. As for Coach Daeny, he has not yet made any statement to refute or correct what Kenzhu said. Perhaps for this coach, IG's achievements in the upcoming season will be the best answer for his innocence.
