I heard somewhere he was gold or something and if this is true why do people respect his opinions on teams

Like if he was just a random person sure but if I was a pro player knowing he makes money by criticising my performance I would be mad

for the same reason coaches are respected in every sport

Yeah but if you are gold you can’t really make money off talking about how pro players are playing because you can’t play the game yourself either

All tier 1 coaches are at least ascendant anyways

British got the worst aim so they gotta cope by pretending to understand the ‘strategy’ of the game

good strats and analysis doesnt mean u have to be an amazing player

You can hit radiant by pressing W every round and not thinking if you have aim like nats/derke/something/zekken/suygetsu etc, just because you are gold it doesn't mean that you don't understand the game. If you invest more time into watching pro play and analyzing it than into dms kovaaks etc you gonna stay in gold still if you have 0 aim. Aim is way more important in ranked than your gamesense or your ability to create counterplay to opponents' set strats since there are 0 set strats in ranked. Analysts/coaches in many games are low elo

big difference between grinding ranked and being able to understand valorant strategically

I think you misunderstand ranked and pro play. There are many people who can hit immortal or even Radiant through raw aim. If you are winning 80% of gunfights you will rank up no matter what. However, good aim and mechanics is pretty much the bar to entering pro play. Its much harder to rank up with shit aim and good game sense, than it is to rank up with good aim and shit game sense.

If you watch his videos carefully, you'll notice that he pretty much just says what the players did -- nothing else. Basically narrating the game.

But, since he was a british accent, people automatically think he's smart 🤷‍♂️

his aim is bad.

doesn't matter if you're Albert Einstein cooking up strats in a custom 4 hours a day, if you cant shoot people in the head you wont rank up.

his analysis is top notch

Plat last time i heard
Dont take his opinion to seriously, try to understand the game not rely on what he said, but he helps you understand what happened to that game

great analogy

maybe teams respecting his opinion tells something? you certainly dont know better than teams do you now?

koromast [#16]

ah

He is very respected by a lot of pro coaches like doombr0s. maybe u need to learn that playing pugs all day on autopilot mode with raw aim to hit immortal is not the same as being a game analyst who doesnt play ranked all day

So do coaches have to be able to play their respective sport at a pro level? Analysts? Obviously not

There are NBA coaches who never played in the NBA, and the same for other sports. Doesn't really matter as long as they understand the game to a high level. I'm pretty sure Chet is like Diamond.

goofiest take

great analogy

i really do loves the "anal" parts

all im saying is that i aint listening to a goldie
