Do we really think this is the guy to lead LOUD?
(one of the best teams in the world)
brazilians have the "the grass is always greener on the other side" syndrome
they think every people from NA/EMEA or any fucking place in the world are better cuz they are from 1st world countries
do u see how mwzera is often underrated by people here? even by brazilians
fRod is weak. he is way behind the meta. he made a mistake on vetos yesterday and he should be punished
I mean, he certainly has the most experience out of almost everyone, he was a Counter Strike pro before even CS:S came out, so yes. And as the others mentioned he led LOUD to win Americas and undefeated in almost the entire Split, so yes I trust him. 1 bad game doesn't mean he's a fraud, look at zonic in prime Astralis, they had bad games too it's not like they won every single match
Though fRoD as a coach and zonic may not be a good comparison

check his stats as Player and as Coach. Guy is no slouch even if it's not the same game.
I dont think he is a bad coach. He is really good by the interviews and his past experience on strategic review and he is very passionate. He does not talk very well pt imo, and he mixes it with spanish. For a Head Coach having trouble getting the message in important timeouts might affect the outcome of matches. He does seem to have a good spanish, so he might be better on latam teams like leviatan, who i've heard had talks with lev, but they chose Goked. Also he does seem comitted with Loud. This stubborness might end with him not getting the results he wants. I think Loud should go for peu/onur (same language problem with the latter but with more motivational and structured style) for keeping the identity or fixing the language barrier. Also him going to NA would upgrade teams like c9 who i think are going for cheap and a friendship road with immi, and an aggresive style players like vanity/oxy/xeppa. 100t who are going to get a strategic coach, who i do not know him as motivational but rather game knoleageable like zikz might not work with a young roster, and you might see again the consistency problems even with an upgraded roster, as imo they lack a proper motivational guy and more structure, to control the chaos.
