Termi had something against him from the first meeting from what frost assumes. Note that this itself is a self admitted "assumption" by frost, meaning that we have no clue if termi was just socially awkward or didn't know how to react. Frost then avenges this disrespect by not shaking hands with him. Termi now views him as a disrespectful person for the first handshake refusal. From now onwards, they ragebait each other in interviews.
Frost ends up refusing the handshake again in another match, calls termi a motherfucker, but this time we all notice it and assume it is because of scrim sharing stuff. Termi probably also assumes so because Frost calls out korean teams in specific for scrim sharing, and then calls termi a motherfucker in a short time frame. More beef ensues, and termi gets mistranslated multiple times and frost gets more mad about the mistranslations because they sounds pretty offensive. Jovi ends up publicly siding with frost over the mistranslated comment about frost's mother, who was not actually mentioned at all. The go back to america one is honestly a bit crazy tbh but you could reasonably justify it in a different context besides racism.
There are two scenarios here:
-
Termi had it out for frost from the beginning and is actually a shitty person. ME PERSONALLY, I think if termi was really racist and mean, we would have heard about it from another coach. Frost is not the only imported coach in APAC, but he is the only one who has had issues with termi. You are free to think otherwise.
-
Termi maybe didn't see frost's inital greeting (frost himself admits this is possible), and/or termi didn't know how to respond to frost when he started randomly saying "bye" in a weird way (self admitted by frost) and just ignored it. Frost assumes termi hates him, and so he refuses the handshake at the match. Termi feels disrespected, and so now he starts throwing jabs at frost during interviews. The rest is history. Basically a big misunderstanding nothingburger turned to generational beef. I think this is pretty possible, and if so, frost just invented beef by being overly sensitive.
Think what you want, these are the hard and clear facts of the matter afaik.
