Polt Apparently Named Head Coach of T1 Through Leaked Discord Chat

Choi "Polt" Seong Hun was apparently named as T1's head coach after a leaked Discord chat. Effort, T1's support player, was streaming when he pulled up his discord, revealing chat logs stating Polt as the new head coach and asking players to watch some video on previous matches.

The leak comes as a bit of a surprise because Polt has no experience in competitive League of Legends play. A former competitive Starcraft 2 player and currently streaming a lot of Teamfight Tactics, Polt has plenty of experience in competitive gaming, which should certainly ease his transition into professional League of Legends.

What Polt can offer is an outside view to gameplay most coaches won't have. As a former top Starcraft 2 player, he is an excellent strategist that can take an objective view to situations in front of him.

A strategic and objective view from someone who has not been involved in professional play gives T1 a fresh new outlook to how they handle different situations in different matches. This should lead to new strategies and more excitement for both T1 and the fans alike.

The Discord chat log also revealed Nick "LS" De Cesare will be an assistant coach to Polt. No statements have come from T1 or anyone associated with the team to confirm or deny the leak.
