real talk about CHET/MIKES

I feel like I'm living in some alternate dimension where everyone thinks mikes is somehow this god level coach and that chet is awful

chet has an extensive career in cs, he's praised by tons of top level players that have complimented his insight and game knowledge. people act like he did nothing for NRG and TSM when in reality both teams improved significantly with him, but he couldn't magically get them to qualify

meanwhile mikes i have literally no context on, his only "accomplishment" is Envy's stage 3 run. So let's talk about this.

Envy were already a top 4 team in NA, and then picked up someone that is arguably the BEST player in NA, playing the agent with the MOST influence and impact in valorant.
With literally 4 days of practice with yay they managed to qualify for Berlin. Do you think in those 4 days they were carefully studying vods with their coach, or simply getting comfortable with the squad and just grinding simple strats with yay?

Mikes then could NOT attend the event, and thus was not involved in any of the matches in real time.

Let's remember that it's not like Mikes was some genius that brought a brain to Envy. They are not a team of idiots that run around shooting and needed some sort of guidance.
FNS has literally been one of the best NA igls for almost a DECADE now.

This is in reference to all the redditors bitching about the chet pickup, saying that mikes is way better and that envy are ungrateful, stupid, making an awful move.
What do you think it implies? Because to me it's pretty clearly saying "MIKES WAS NOT AS HELPFUL AS EVERYONE THINKS"

thanks for coming to my ted talk

I would read all that but its a lot

fax no printer

ehh most people aren't complaining about chet over mikes. most people are complaining about how they had mikes in the palm of their hands but left him in a state of uncertainty, only to ghost him and pick up another coach. chet isn't at fault for anything here.

tldr: Envy secured 2nd in the world cuz of yay and not necessarily Mike. Chet has a background, Mike doesn't therefore it doesn't support any current arguments for or against the two.

im dumb lol

it’s just hastr0s fault tbh that man f’d everyone up

I agree there had to be something we don't know about in terms of Mikes because he was coaching for them for so long and they never negotiated a deal with him, yet they were willing to sign Chet despite not having seen his impact on NV for very long at all, but i will say that saying that NRG improved a lot with him, and thats coming from someone who truly wants NRG to be a successful team
