Why Chet isn’t fraudulent

This might be a long post so don’t read if u don’t want to.

In 2022, a big part of optic’s success came from always playing meta comps. They fully accepted chamber, mastered neon first, adopted fade very quickly, learned pearl fast, renovated the bind meta, etc. optic’s players were willing to sacrifice individual skill and comfort to FORCE meta roles, as u saw marved playing kayo and fns playing every role except duelist.

That’s Chet’s biggest strength and weakness. He still attempts to force his roster to play to the meta and the standard “perfect” way to play rather than letting players play comfort roles. If it works out, it looks amazing and u get a team consistently ahead of the meta like optic.

We saw this at the start of last year when nrg started 1-3 because Chet attempted to switch players off their comfort picks to a more perfect meta/role composition. This is part of why ardiis struggled on nrg, as they should have let him flex off Jett and let victor play Jett on some maps, since victor is a horrible Kayo and a good Jett.

He has tried it again with the new nrg roster, and once again it is struggling. I hope he lets it go eventually.

chet only has wins against a 0-8 region this year btw

TL:DR
Every nrg roster isn’t optic and Chet shouldn’t force them to be. That aside he is a good coach and certain optic players have said publicly that he helped them improve.

They started slow last year too. I hope if they fix their roles they can focus on coordination, as teams with messed up roles often lack coordination.

I mean there's just no other excuse you can make for him at this point and everyone knows that, this pitch perfect meta, slow and methodical system of his just isn't it anymore. Potter and Zikz experimented with Demon1 for all of last year with shit like KJ, off meta Chamber, and smokes and they found out what playstyle works best for him but Chet and friends think they know better and want to stick with their mindset that got them a Masters win.

I don't think he'll ever change considering NRG spent the entire offseason practicing for this exact type of playstyle still, it is what it is atp so i just hope for the best.

Absolutely, but imo he is still a good coach, he just needs to stop trying to play perfect all the time to the detriment of his players

he's still a good coach but with an ego that won't be changed. He's been proving the haters right too many times already, idk how he's defendable.

True, but keep in mind losing 13-4 on sunset was the player’s fault and the player’s fault only.

they had literally 0 protocols or good reads that entire series, Kinggg made them look like a Tier 3 team while the rest of LEV just shot their guns, looking like an IGL + coaching issue for that one. All I'm saying is that with all the talent NRG has right now and the guy that left VCT 2023 as the best player in the world, this team shouldn't be looking like this under what should be one of the best coaches.

While Chet is certainly part of that the whole team is to blame.
Mibr has frod and bzkA but they aren’t winning shit, coach’s alone don’t make a team good
