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.
