LNG add LvMao as head coach, bring in Xiasu to round out coaching staff

LNG made a clear staff play on July 18, adding LvMao as head coach and Xiasu as coach.

The move gives LNG two new names on the coaching side at once, with LvMao taking the top job and Xiasu joining the broader staff. For a team in the LPL spotlight, that kind of double addition usually signals a push to tighten structure behind the stage as much as on it.

LvMao is the headline hire here because he steps straight into the head coach role. That makes him the central figure for LNG's draft prep, practice direction, and day to day competitive identity. Xiasu's arrival adds another voice to that process and gives LNG more support across scouting, review, and player development.

What matters most is the shape of the move. LNG did not just fill one vacancy. The team added both a head coach and a coach on the same day, which points to a broader reset or reinforcement of the staff setup.

For LNG, the immediate takeaway is simple. The organization has reshaped its coaching room with LvMao at the top and Xiasu alongside him. The next question is how quickly that new staff can put its stamp on the team.
