His pistol strats were too good
He knows how use primmie on pistols
6-0 pistols made them win the game
NS needed to understand this in the breaks of the map
Played the same pistol strat against Zeta got read hard
Understanding is a lot easier than speaking. Trust me, the Thai boys can understand a lot but it may be difficult to convey it back if they have an idea. That being said, I think we're downplaying the ability of the Thai players to speak English and they will understand most comms unless it is spoken in a super fast or complex manner.
he's not ignored him apparently he just doing fist bump lazily and walk off, he didn't even look at termi, but still no sportsmanship whatsoever even sliggy surprised lol there's a clip in this thread https://www.vlr.gg/373161/frost-and-termi-beef
Nothing wrong with Governor imo, he's talented and plays his role well. Sure, there may be other players better than him but I think he's developed into a very solid duelist. Good movement, crispy aim mostly, and fearlessness.
Ban has good games but his overheats when he's too confident on his own reads costs him so dearly. He literally reminds me of foxz. Smart player, occasional pop offs but the overheats cost the teams rounds.
Who would you replace them with though?
You need experienced, super flexible, english speaking players (from pacific)
Add to that that the ban replacements philosophy needs to be compatible with Frost's (since we keep hearing again and again how important he is for mentoring the younger players on the roster).
I wouldnt mind if they cut down on the roles a bit to make it easier to find replacements, but at that point its more of a discussion about Frost's comp philosophy
Basically I think its borderline impossible to get an actual (not just on the stats sheet) 2 for 2 improvement rn
Do it when the team struggles, not when theyre improving as quickly as they were towards the end of 2024
I just think Crws also plays a similar role to Ban for the young Thai players and seems a bit redundant to have both when they are both so inconsistent. Crws is the primary IGL so losing him would be detrimental but what if ban stepped back onto the bench, still coaching and mentored the players but they brought in a younger, mechanical player or as I've mentioned and praised in other threads and comments, Laz from Full Sense who is the current IGL but has the mechanics to maintain his performance.
