What needs to happen for LA Valiant to succeed in stage 2? They've gone from a 3rd place finish in season 1 to 0-7 in season 2. They made head coach changes recently, will this help? Is it the meta? Is it a lack of talent or teamwork? What do you think the problem is?

For the Korean players, I know they have some degree of mandatory civil service.  How does that affect their plans when it comes to being a pro-athlete?
