Woong to coach H2K Gaming
Woong to coach H2K Gaming-January 2024
Jan 7, 2025 5:32 AM

  This article was originally published on GameSpot's sister site onGamers.com, which was dedicated to esports coverage.

  The former CJ Entus Frost captain is coaching European Challenger team H2k Gaming. Woong, who was considered the brains behind Frost, is coaching the challenger team remotely, similar to how MonteCristo was coaching CLG before their bootcamp and how Maknoon was coaching Pain.

  Woong's reputation has dwindled ever since the incident at the Season 2 World Championships but he hopes to put it behind him and start afresh with the challenger team. In a lengthy apology post on Reddit, Woong stated that he wanted "to deeply apologize to the people who were disappointed by my mistake." When asked for comment about coaching the challenger team, Woong stated that he will try to do the best job he can but it was "first time attempting to coach online"

  Woong has been coaching H2k for a bit less than a week and helped lead H2K Gaming to victory in the Challenger Playoffs with a 3-2 win over SK Gaming Prime.

  When we got to a point where we didn't manage to find any European coaches that had the exp but also the knowledge of the game I started expanding my search to other regions and ended up looking in Korea. I got in contact with Woong pretty quick and we both had the same idea of how to play the game, after having a short talk with the team everyone agreed on that this is our guy and we are now very pleased to have him working with us. I'm sure his work will lead our team in a great direction and with a month long boot-camp coming before Relegation tournament I'm sure we will have some new talent in the LCS by next season.

  Robin "Jed" Jedhammar, Manager of H2k GamingUpdate: Sources have also stated that Ram "Brokenshard" Djemal has been assisting the team on a voluntary basis. Djemal started prior to the game vs Unicorns of Love and after he was released from the Copenhagen Wolves.
