you guys are making assumptions based off leaks, and you expect them to play well when they're basically being shit on by everyone right now?

frost literally retweeted shit about how patmen snaked him when he himself wont give any damn context. mfer acting like he didn't fuck up ge's map veto vs xlg (and even against fs back in ho chi minh) and is pushing them to play these weird ass comps the players are obviously not as comfortable in. also the SAME guy who is overheard talking shit about his own team in a public bar. the bastion of professionalism i guess.

also, no one actually knows why platoon was chosen over frost. maybe it was during the ewc qualifiers where platoon actually let them play normal ahh comps for once because he was given the go ahead to coach them for that. also, can we put our thinking caps on right now? you think this will fly by the rest of the team if ONLY patmen and platoon wanted ts? as much as the dictator jokes were funny at first, people are starting to actually make up straight up fanfic about this situation lmao

yeah? from the public info it was a patmen led initiative with the other players not putting up resistance either way

doesn't matter who

anyone that is involved should know that this will happen given themselves extra pressure if GE doesn't qualify u know people would blame who atleast if frost still on the team the player could still point it on frost but now anything happen it's on the player

either they will be the hero or the villain 😅

the result would be the same even if people don't leak it maybe more on the orgs but now more pressure on both patmen and platoon cause of the leak

Patmen and Platoon already got 5 rounds, everyone needs to relax. I have a feeling they will double that when they play next.

They win SOMETHING for the first time in the organisation's history, then fire the people who delivered it. Frost is out and his replacement has next to zero head coaching experience. BUT! don't forget that not only did Frost get fired, Vlad got the boot too. If you move on from coaching staff, atleast hire people who can match them if not exceed them. Instead they gutted the whole coaching booth after the biggest achievement they've ever had.

Stupid decision and they deserve zero sympathy.

i'd argue it's not just frost/the coaching staff, putting in patmen and xavi are also wincons as to why they made london. i don't think it's fair to just attribute their wins to frost, as again he also did weird ass decisions. it was really evident during the xlg game when he refused to call a timeout for some reason during the last map when ge obviously needed it. it's like he already gave up on them.

It is very obvious you are biased towards your nation. Not even mentioning a single one of the other members of the team is straight up disrepectful. Whole post is just a coloured opinion.

PH flag so it isnt surprising but lets calm down here. You mention during EWC quals they played normal comps, YET THOSE WERE THE SAME COMPS THEY PLAYED PRE QUALI AND AFTER THE QUALI. What are u saying there??

You clearly want to live in cuckoo world but I hate to break it to you but we do not live in cuckoo world. You are also making up assumptions based off leaks. How do you know it wasnt a team decision for their veto against XLG? FrosT has even in the london episode that vetos are awlays a discussion with the team and the IGL. Why are you not talking about how bad the lotus which was Platoon's (infereing that FrosT mentioned Platoon likes more to play maps and build more double duelist comps) and how that Lotus was lifeless and looked NOTHING like even PRX's or there was no anti in sight.

From looking at these players and past teams, i dont think ANYONE is pushing them to play comps they are uncomfortable on, they are all flexible players. FrosT even said on his spiketalk episode with strong that the players themselves will push for comps if they believe in it. So why are you blaming FrosT for this, or will you spin it so that now since players want it, it is FrosT's fault for allowing it. Also i hate to break it to you but if you think what sideshow said about FrosT talking about players openly is bad, you do not want to know what your favourite players and coaches have also said about their own team mates and coaches BTS or in interviews. The point that sideshow made is such a useless point to bring someone down. And how can the rest of the team say anything if you have a player and data analyst on the team and possibly 1 more player on the team, making decisions, these players have their own careers to worry about do you think any of them want to be dropped as well?

Please use some sense like you said yourself

You are saying being critical of the op for the speculative aspect of their post but you turn to speculation as well.

attributing my opinions down to my flag is definitely sensible! i admit, was wrong about the EWC comp (i will edit that) BUT your other points are literally speculative as well. i am just trying to raise some counterarguments as people are being one-sided and are pretty much harrassing the team.

Right but I am saying that because of your flag you have this opinion and want to defend your national players and that is fine. I would too. I do not think anyone should be harrassed but how can you say my points are speculative when Frost himself has talked about it on his own podcast. I think you are over thinking it when the Ari tweets state the situation as it is. I am sure if they have more information they would release it at this point but they havent

The mass delusions that go on in this community never ceases to amaze me. I will be the bad guy...

GE picked a HEAD COACH who thinks picking the optimal agents wins games. Watching Platoon videos is full of assumptions and the highest of summaries with no depth. Analysis is not just repeating to others what you see on a screen. I don't get why people fall for this time and time again. Bro is a color caster at best. "NRG learned a crucial lesson, clear roles and strong agent pools." He literally believes that the NRG return to form was just FNS going back to Viper? Other players returning to roles just instantly made the team good.

The amount of damage Valorant influencers have done over the years is incalculable. It's like they produced a braindead language that is the gatekeeper to success in this space. Just speak about the surface level impact of agent compositions or roles and you're golden.

Getting rid of Frost was a mistake simply because he has experience coaching in a game that doesn't depend on abilities and agents. I don't know anything about Frost what so ever but coaching CS takes away the fluffy layer of Valorant abilities and gives him experience with coaching players in taking space with pressure and guns.

There's not a single coach in Valorant, from tier 3 to tier 1, that can't look at valoplant and cook up a strategy using abilities. The average vlr super-analyst can and does do this. BUT VALOPLANT IS NOT VALORANT... It's at best, 20% of the game.

None of your strategies with abilities or agents do anything if someone is sitting with a shorty, dominating a space with a superior angle, and kills a crucial player in your strategy because you didn't clear them. You don't just get to say "well the players should know to clear them." That's inexperience and if you're not building these ideas into your strategies they will fail.

There are no shortcuts and building all of your skills in Valorant as a coach is a weakness, full stop. And over the last 6 years, the coaches who are celebrated but are unemployed all failed because their lack of focus in this area.

Platoon will fail. GE will fail. And it will be super convenient for all the fans to move on and forget this ever happened.

Let's say Pat not being able to handle frost pointing mistakes made during a match was one of the reasons he was dropped, once a player thinks that they are bigger than the coach then the synergy goes straight out of the window because they will start thinking they are always right and would want people pleaser coach like Platoon being a yes man in the process and not speaking up when it matters just to please others.

Frost has had issues with players in past teams and most of those incidents were 100 percent his fault, but for GE frost has has the resume back his opinion up and have players respect him a little bit more than before, Autumn for example mentioning how frost was one of the main reasons he chose GE during the off season, these newer players for GE have had multiple offers in APAC but came to GE despite knowing how frost is as a coach. FFS he shit talked PRIMMIE of all people multiple times on talon and FS are very comfortable making him part of their coaching staff.

Also you are assuming the team comps are one of the main reason he's gone when most of the information that came out pointed towards Pat not agreeing with frost's demeanor and how he talks to him.

You used a baseless rumor about him talking shit about his team at a bar in the same breath as "dont believe the leaks!!"

The leaks are real and if you want to feel bad for a guy who freezes in all important matches and cant handle being called out for failing when it matters then you go ahead and do that but at least dont contradict yourself in the same post
