  • Can a LoL coach get an O-1A, and which 3 criteria are easiest?

    I’m the strategic coach for a championship-level League-of-Legends squad. Can a coach—not a player—qualify for O-1A, and which three criteria are easiest to hit?

    Yes, coaches can qualify for O-1A if they are among the top in their field. Focus on:

    • Original contributions (e.g., analytics systems, patented algorithms).

    • Judging the work of others (e.g., pro-team tryouts, selection panels).

    • Critical role for a distinguished organization (e.g., lead strategist at LCS or S-tier league).

    If a regulatory criterion doesn’t fit esports neatly, use comparable evidence like Twitch stats as a substitute.
