having coaches participate in post-map interviews, even if it’s “only a minute long” is straight up pointless and stupid. These interviews fundamentally misunderstands what those interviews are supposed to be for: capturing immediate emotion, insight, and momentum from the people actually playing the game. Post-map interviews work best on a player. Coaches, by contrast, are almost always filtered, cautious, and repetitive in these moments. They default to safe, corporate answers like “we trusted our system,” “the players executed well,” or “we’ll focus on the next map,” which adds nothing new for viewers who just watched the same round-by-round execution themselves. Same goes with the interviewers, "what do you feel went wrong", "what are you doing to adjust to their playstyle". If the argument is that it’s “only a minute,” that actually makes it worse lol, why waste that minute on the least emotionally compelling option possible?
I really feel like these are the most pointless things ever. The coaches are of course not going to be giving away their anti-strats, because it would be straight up stupid to do so. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LEO FARHIA OR WHATEVER, just remove these segments out
