Thoughts on EG.Potter and where do you rank her against other VCT coaches?
Do you think she'll ever replicate/have similar success as with EG 2023?

her team is cheeks man you can do just as much as a coach she still got it if you give her a team with decent firepower and cohesion

would you put Potter in S-tier of coaches rn?

fuck yes all day every day i still have 100% belief and confidence for her skills and abilities as a head coach
xdxdxdxdxdxdxd [#3]alecks clears her
can alecks clear his mind and get something off initiator and kick jingg? or is it impossible because jingg's mom financially sponsors paper rex through a shell company with her of money?
overrated coach only sucess she had was with a 10 men roster which almost noone had at that point
extremely overrated and has been mid for the last half a year. Part of me died when I saw yay phoenix

what's wrong with experimenting?
She only had success when the team had 10 man roster in a season where none of the other teams had 10 mans except for that team. So might wanna put her on fraud watch list ngl

number1_Demon1_fan [#20]So you are saying she is overrated for thinking ahead ?
so dense. u dont have to make any kind of prep or anti strats before the officials cuz the reserve roster can just use the ditto copy of comps and run the same simulations that their opponents have ran in their officials. this is a massive advantage during 23 where no other team had 10 man roster. plus they themselves said they can run drills repetitively which is also an additional advantage. now tell me what tf does the coach do then when ur players do all of this shit on their own? fnatic that year was guided by mini and arguably had more work and effort into his roster by introducing new comps and making sure their players are in form always + they still won back to back to events without needing 10 man roster.

downvoted for the truth
potter is easily an S tier coach but people downplay her achievements cuz shes a woman
Ryuukami [#25]downvoted for the truth
honestly starting to think these people are just misogynistic
or is it just pooper rex fanboys still salty about champs idk

phoenix on pearl isnt bad they just didnt abuse the reason for phoenix... just orb farm and ult spam and some1 like yay can get 3 ults a half

She went wrong by signing y0y
potter is one of the better coaches in all of the regions to be fair to her, I remember when she was a player thinking she may not be good in a playing capacity and was advocating for her to be a coach for ages now
number1_Demon1_fan [#20]So you are saying she is overrated for thinking ahead ?
???? there is no way u think potter said yooo lets get a second roster and eg approved that??? that wasnt her decision
penpen [#34]chet exists
Chet isn't rated high by vct fans. He used to get blamed the most in nrg before he got kicked.
she's good at bringing life into players but EG's scouting is fucking terrible ngl. their signings need to be good as a budget org in order for Potter's efforts to be rewarded

exactly
reremus [#40]NA isn't awake yet LMFAO
i don't get the hate. she got 2nd and then champions with a roster that was previously seen as bad.
Hard to say, I think it's required to have success on at least two different teams to say for sure that someone is really good.
Like Aspas on Loud, Lev and Mibr
Derke on Fnatic and Vitality
I don't really remember a Coach being successful on more than one team tbh
Anzaldinho [#38]exactly
there's also the issue that Potter's analyst skills aren't as good as people thought it was from 2023. It visibly got worse for the org after Zikz left, but her ability as a talent developer is definitely there. Maybe she needs better staff that can do the heavy lifting in strategies while she focuses on team form. who fucking knows
I would have loved seeing potter on nrg. Fns and potter may have cooked some good things
Yistyy [#41]i don't get the hate. she got 2nd and then champions with a roster that was previously seen as bad.
She's definitely dropped off since, but is nowhere near a bad coach.
reremus [#45]She's definitely dropped off since, but is nowhere near a bad coach.
if she had good rosters to work with she could definitely make it to another lan. guys like apoth and icy just don't cut it. and as much as i hate to say it, even derrek.

Classic

even tho I'm not a glazer I still love PRX but let's be real potter is a great coach
just that as soon as Jawgemo left the team she basically lost her key piece and nobody in the current EG can compare
Yistyy [#49]if she had good rosters to work with she could definitely make it to another lan. guys like apoth and icy just don't cut it. and as much as i hate to say it, even derrek.
EG is too broke for a good roster. I think it's mostly their fault and partly hers as well. She chose to stay to have more control and its just not working out. You did the impossible once, take your W and move on. You are NOT going to be creating a champs winning roster with Apoth.
if youre a coach and your teams have been bad for 2 years u cant be one of the best coaches
Without a prime Demon1 or a Jawgemo and Ethan, she'll never win a trophy with EG again sadly. Great coach but she got extremely lucky in 2023.
good coach but she has to take some blame in resigning to EG and keeping up with a failed project
Anzaldinho [#2]her team is cheeks man you can do just as much as a coach she still got it if you give her a team with decent firepower and cohesion
why are people downvoting this, she's one of the best coaches in VCT
Some 14 yo must have discord raided this thread 😂
never thought i'd the day people think Potter is a bad coach. She's venerated.
Anzaldinho [#27]honestly starting to think these people are just misogynistic

I think she's an S tier coach, but using the misogynist card just cause people aren't on your side is actually zellsis word
babysasuke [#47]The only S Tier coaches are Chet and Potter
you had me until chet
bringing a group of failed players to a champs trophy is crazy but i think with the rosters shes been given + the loss of zikz has def been pretty rough, this narrative of her being lucky is so bullshit though
While I do think she's a bit overrated, she's still a top tier coach what are people smoking on this thread. Her best team after eg 2023 was derrek, apoth, supamen, nature, and jawg. As much as I love those players, besides jawg, they are a pretty bad team.
Anzaldinho [#65]you had me until chet
people will say Chet isn't S Tier and then try to argue mini and engh are 😴
Cheasle2 [#63]Some 14 yo must have discord raided this thread 😂

classic vlr recency bias. same people hating on potter in this thread were prolly glazing her after the 2023 season

honestly i think icy could end up being pretty good. they definitely have too move on from derrek after this year though.
monkeyman17 [#71]honestly i think icy could end up being pretty good. they definitely have too move on from derrek after this year though.
he's been kinda low impact and NA is a stacked duelist region. im willing to give him more chance but he's one of the first guys that needs to go.
lejargon [#72]the only coaches in NA are Potter and JoshRT
Frod is good too, if you're including all of America's.
