Vici Gaming has just announced that they parted ways with their Head Coach Kkoma. Here is their announcement:
Who is Kkoma?
34-year old Kim “Kkoma” Jeong-gyun has been coaching Since 2012, and started his coaching career with SKT T1. In late 2019 he announced that he was joining Vici Gaming as their head coach. Here are some of Kkoma’s best achievements as a coach:
- 1st in 2016 World Championship – 29th October 2016 – $2,028,000 – SKT T1
- 1st place in 2015 World Championship – 31st October 2015 – $1,000,000 – SKT T1
- 2nd place at 2017 World Championship – 4th November 2017 – $620,540 – SKT T1
Vici parted ways with Head Coach Kkoma – Why?
Since Kkoma’s enlistment with Vici, they haven’t really had any successful results. In the LPL Spring Split they ended the group stage in 9th place with 21 wins and 22 losses. Their 9th place meant that they were not qualified for the playoffs and ended the Spring Split in 9th.
With regards to the LPL Summer Split, Vici had similar disappointing results, which resulted in them finishing the Summer Split in 11th place. Again not qualifying for the playoffs and ending the season in 11th. These horrible results were probably the cause for Kkoma’s decision to depart from the Chinese roster.

Where will he go next?
Kkoma has not yet revealed as to what his next career step will be; however, we can expect him returning to the LCK in the coming season, possibly back with T1.
