what happened to this team?
I think that sgares is experienced enough to question plays and work them back logically to come to a solution. We've seen that time and time again on the broadcast. Is he goated? meh. I think the current landscape of coaches in Valorant is built off of cronyism. Every coach in this league so far is someone who came from a team that was a startup. They were able to build their coach brand off the backs of their players. Sgares and 100T was the only team that didn't do it this way.
I think these coaches get additional space because of the style of calling that goes on in Valorant. NA doesn't run a lot of set plays. If you're calling on the fly there are a ton of variables that you can blame that don't fall on the coach. Logically how can a coach be liable for the plays that go on in the server? It's a flat out buffer zone from getting fired. And since everyone runs the same comp, there again is no risk to the coach.
Coaches basically have the easiest job that they can coast until they hit a series of losses and the community calls into question their ability to coach. The secret is they're all bad and are getting lucky by unexpected wins from the schedule.
What do you mean? The best team in North America, 100T, just won Red Bull Home Ground. They recently added Cryo to replace Will, which gives them the necessary firepower to compete against the world's top teams. Unlike other top-tier teams that made multiple player roster changes and need time to perform well, 100T is one of the favorites for Lock In. Bang is on his way to becoming the best controller, Asuna is an impressive flex, and Derrek is a clutch machine. They should have no trouble making it to Lock In Americas playoffs.
