Golden Guardians Fire Head Coach

The Golden Guardians have officially parted ways with head coach Choi “Locodoco” Yoon-seop this past weekend, after he apparently made an inappropriate comment to a female Riot Games employee while filming an interview to be used for promotion of the NA LCS. While the exact nature of the comments remain unknown at this time, both Riot Games and management of the Golden Guardians deemed them sufficient to immediately replace Locodoco.

Locodoco has been replaced by assistant coach Tyler Perron, while GGS management searches for a replacement. Locodoco has since commented on his twitter that fans should not “take things at face value”, and indicates that he’ll likely make a statement at some point.

Been wanting to stay off Twitter during the chaos, just heard about the ESPN report. Before things get too crazy, don't take things u guys hear at face value. I'll clear things up.

This is just the latest blow to the Golden Guardian's first season in the NA LCS, as the team is currently winless at 0-5 and sitting at the bottom of the standings. The Golden Guardians will be looking for Tyler Perron to get the team back to a competitive level.
