Let's talk about Alecks

This might be a hot take and at the end of the day is a personal opinion but i really think Alecks should have been replaced a while ago, this is not so much about his ability to coach, even though we could talk about that too, and more about how bad he is for the team's mental.

I know most people are like 'haha alecks mad' but genuinely, if you watch any of the vlogs, it has gotten to the point that the players are visually affected by it. Constantly yelling at your players is not going to help them improve, it's going to end up breaking their mental, hurt the team's cohesion, break their confidence and ultimately make them worry during the game as to what they'll be yelled at for next.

I know some people are going to make the argument that "If you don't like getting yelled at you'll try to improve so it doesn't happen again" and i understand where you're coming from but as a coach you should also understand that sometimes your players are not going to magically understand their flaws and get better and that your job is to guide them, help them understand what they are doing wrong and how to fix it.

I do believe that if they had a coach who focused on yelling less and more on actual coaching and anti-strat, they would be a viable team to this day. This is not an attack on Alecks, i'm sure he is trying his best to help his team but i don't think he's taking the right approach to achieve that with his players.

Nah, if anything, Alecks' timeouts and pauses have led to pretty good PRX adaptations. Get this guy some help, don't kick him off.

As i said, i don't think he's a bad coach per say, i just think he's taking the wrong approach humanly speaking. I do agree that if he can be a little more calm, they shouldn't replace him.

noone really knows whose fault it is but i tink we have to put some pressure on da players that if they do bad they gonna get replaced not only on kills but their actual potential to win and lose rounds.
it all starts with -j0ng +PRIMMIE imo

affected? if they really were affected maybe they'd stop throwing. what do you mean "magically fix their flaws", their flaws the majority of the time are wide swinging 1vs1s in man advantages, wtf are these takes about alecks 😭might as well blame bonkar for FNS whiffing half a mag

prx has also always had great strats despite the narrative that they just hold w

As easy as it is to just shit on the choach or shit on the players at the end of the day both the players and the coaches need to have some type of talk to improve and both Of the coaches and the players need to step it up. PRX have always fumbled the bag but still they dont fix the problem. In the offseason PRX looked scary good they played a good mix of discipline and W gaming also they decided to play meta comp but for some reason idk if they were frying in scrims but they decided to pull out that weird clove deadlock comp and they played so undisciplined it was like the players in the offseason and now are 2 completely different teams

I agree, this is not strictly on the players, and also is not strictly on the coach. VLR users tend to see things very black and white, and i think it's important to put things into perspective and take a step back to look at it objectively.

I said earlier today on another post that i thought PRX looked better than last year, because exactly like you said they looked more disciplined, like they actually listened to each other and played as a team. Today though it seems like they threw that away, maybe it was stress, i don't know.

Hopefully they can go back to that more disciplined look we saw in the off season before that next match.

with prx they have come to a situation where they are good and just want to be there while other teams are making constant upward progress and I think it's not someone singular persons fault .A change is indeed required though .

Yes, i agree. As i said in another reply, it's not stricly Aleck's fault nor is it strictly the player's fault, it's a mixed bag.

A complete overhaul is required as for roaster and for coach I think with new players with igl he can do wonders

won't say a complete overhaul but something new .
This team doesn't need to change it's playstyle as this is what makes them prx .
Just some switch up .

there is some blame to put on aleks but the main issue imo is that something is still a headless chicken with util and tends to just throw rounds and another large reason is jinggs agent pool like you i genuinely feel bad for davai and forsaken constantly having to learn new roles and flex new agents cause jingg somehow cant play anything other then raze sage, They are deadass wasting 2 of the best flex players itw on that roster along with a really solid smoke anchor player in mindfreak.

No, what they need is more Alex like guys in the team. They get all extremely excited when they get a single kill, and there's no one on the team to keep them in check. Alex can only say “Fuck you mfs, don't peek, don't die” twice in a match, and that's not enough.

Agreed.
