XanXanUk [#5]As much as i dont like Potter - she is the best coach, come on now
She may be the best coach right now, but over the course of 2023 it's mini
SquareMars [#6]FNC had a higher round% after having a timeout
surely that’s not the only benchmark u go by?

Looooool chronicle cannot be best flex of 2023, hes cost Fnc every game they’ve lost by underperforming + his initiator utility is nowhere near as good as Ethan’s
Also mini is a fucking fraud, potter built a team from the ground up and invested in the same players to get a trophy, mini had to get a superteam to not bomb out of more tournaments.
Also s0m deserves best controller, even when NRG was down his individual performance was easily the best of any controller this year, jaws best moments were on raze rather than controller
SquareMars [#8]She may be the best coach right now, but over the course of 2023 it's mini
That mini time out 3-11 down to loud on icebox was the best coach moment of the year
BrotherMan [#2]Best upset: NRG v bilibili
Naw 100t lost to a team that looked horrible and was playing with a coach

No lol, EG went from bottom of Americas standings, arguably the worst team in franchises to the best team in the world currently thank to Potter. Mini had the best team ever assembled on paper, any other T1 coach should have been able to get at least 2 trophies with FNC

Why's bro acting like eg didnt get upgrades? Wasnt potter still their coach when they were considered shit? You're acting like she just came here and the squad magically became better
Ok we all agree that jawgemo isn't best controller of the year but who else can contend for that spot out of thr top 8 teams? I doubt boaster or tuyz are at that level yet. Maybe mindfreak since he started to play better and performed well at champions? But that was only towards the end of the year. I wouldn't give it to the Chinese controllers at this stage, and mako underperformed at tokyo but got back to form later on. Some people are suggesting som an di would agree, hes been good even if his team has not. So really, for the full time controller role, it's between mako, mindfreak and som.

Mini kept 3 players and bought 2 more
Potter kept 3 players and bought 7 more 🤣

Yeah. I remember when everyone called potter the worst coach in Americas at the start of the year.

Mini kept 3 of the best players in the world and bought 2 more of the best players in the world. And coasted through matches on firepower alone with no strat innovation
Potter kept 5 tier 2 prospects and bought 2 solid tier 1 players and 3 unproven tier 3 talent and managed to make the best team in the world with only one of the two tier 1 players she bought while molding the rest of them into gods and making some of the most innovative strategies and reshaping a whole map it’s not even close

No start innovation???
Do you listen to yourself?
mrGoudas [#28]No start innovation???
Do you listen to yourself?
Yea I do listen to myself thanks for asking
He really hasn’t done much in the way of innovation and ideas, if you look at other top teams they’ve all done something to restructure or reshape the game (Loud with harbor viper, Optic with Chamber meta and Neon comps, EG completely reshaping fracture with sova, even old fnatic bringing double controller and icebox meta in 2021), fnatic just play regular valorant with little to no misplays and boaster is a great igl but mini really hasn’t done a whole lot

They got Demon1, that didn't make them a theoretical superteam overnight, did it? And while yes, Potter was their coach for a long time, they were playing with Apoth and Reformed. I don't see how a couple of team changes takes anything away from what Potter did THIS YEAR.

It doesnt, but u make it sound like mini does absolutely nothing and potter just came in mid 2023 and made this a random tier3 team champs winners overnight

Well I'm sorry I made it come out like that, and I'm sure mini did a great job with Fnatic, all I'm saying is, EG suddenly, with the addition of Demon1, went from a bottom 25 team in the world to Top 1 in a matter of 5 months. Now why that didn't happen before I don't know, but someone behind the scenes managed to get that team to where it is today

I mean 4 of the players played mostly in tier 2 or 3 before lock in so kind of?
sand1121 [#4]Best coach mini instead of potter?
I think she got the official Americas best coach award
