When is the next episode guys?
great podcast
Don't know yay as a person, but dude has had some fun ass moments to watch
Really cool insight into bro the team. Definitely will be invested to watch this team next season. Best of luck
Redbull T1 vs Talon Final was banger❤❤ thanks for amazing match!!
This is my favorite yap sesh by uncle Fr0st
I'm so sad that talon couldn't meet t1😂😂😂
Great episode. Frost's yapping can piss me off sometimes, but he was spitting this episode. Ryan is always a great guest, so well spoken and his insight about china is always welcome.
this is prob my fav episode, such great topics brought up and discussed to the point where i think even current valorant pros can take away a ton from this
Spam this walk 🚶♂ to get Anderzz on SpikeTalk 🚶♂
Fr0st is such a good person man.
Love Fr0st speaking up this podcast, normally kinda chills, but he is very well spoken. Best valorant podcast, as a viewer this is great keep it up. Also love every guest yall are having, cant wait to see this channel grow!
bro this podcast is actually lowkey fire
I wanna see Frost go on platchat once, that would be one for the ages
He’s been to plat already, might be twice actually…. Over a year ago
Respect to Frost man, because he truly sees the game the way he wants to and regardless of the critics has a plan and is moving forward with it, and lowkey if I was in frost’s team I wouldn’t mind being cut from his team because I genuinely know it was a good reason
Fr0st passion for the game is second to none, makes me want to be a better player/leader
fax
Getting fired for wanting to pick up Zander and Cryo and then it happens 3 years later is crazy.
The two import issue isn't exclusive to just china, the 2023 scarz roster wouldve had to drop 1 of kr1stal/jemkin if they ascended. The issue is just way more prevalent in china because the scene is developing and they have the finances to facilitate these moves.
i can hear him
I mentioned it in another comment but for some reason they lost audio from me late in the recording. We run VDO ninja into vMix and something got fucky. Oh well. Makes for a silly moment I guess. Wasn't worth editing around.
On NRG, very doubtful FNS is there to coach Ethan into an igl, Ethan gave it up last season because he realized he couldn’t do it so I think it’s best to let him focus on NOT being an igl and just being the great util player that he is
I’m not sure why riot doesn’t consult with creators/pros like yourselves to help with improving their E-Sport. Man. . . Thing sounds so MESSY right now It seems that RIOT is SO AWARE of issues, rule breaking a, unethical concerns etc, yet nothing is done
Honestly when I heard why electronic left NaVi actually hurts me thanks for Frost lighting us up.
59:20 I Remeber being in lockdown and he was like 16 17 holy fuck
Leo covered the age limit thing in tier 2 at the Ludwig x tarik event. There are many challenges with 16 year olds playing professionally, because of certain labor laws and travel with a guardian etc. So the only realistic choice left for them is not allow 16 year olds to play at all. Winning ascension is the goal of the ORG, not the players. You can easily get dropped and replaced once you win ascension, we've seen that this year. The episode with soulcas he talked about the uncertainty playing on an "ascended" team competing in VCT, but in reality it's just the uncertainty as a pro player. It doesn't matter if you're on an Ascended team or a VCT team, if you don't perform, you're going to get dropped regardless. Same can be said if you perform well, a lot of those tier 2 players that didn't win ascension are now playing VCT this year. Is it better being on a VCT team? probably yes, but in terms of job security, it's not so much different. So my point is, I think it's fine for a team of 16 year olds winning ascension and not being able to play because ultimately, that's the org's spot and route they they took to get there. When they signed those 16 year olds, they are well aware of the situation, it's not like a rug is pulled once they actually win. If the org think they can win and replace their whole roster after, so be it.
Yea but like Frost was saying it just looks bad when they promote this dream to kids to play and compete but they can get screwed over multiple times without even getting a chance they might have literally earned. And also like Babybay was saying you only got so much time to decide if it's worth grinding a game before either you go to another esport or just move on with life. Nobody wants to grind a dead end scene where even if you make it all the way through ascension someone can tell you it doesn't mean anything and just drop you. At that point why play. You don't get paid great or at all and even when you earned something by winning out it still doesn't matter that's how the Tier 2 scene becomes even more cooked than it already is because even the most competitive people won't even see it as worth it.
Bro dont fk let primmie igl, he is not a type of guy to talk much, and letting him to focus on his crosshair is way more impactful bro. Pls dont overcook. Love the content tho
He’s not letting him igl. He’s letting him learn from the smartest people on the team. Its all up to primmie if he wants to become an igl in the future. All he has to do now is learn from them
เข้าใจว่าเขาแค่อยากให้ primmie เรียนรู้จาก crws ban ที่เป็นมันสมองของทีมแหละ เผื่อวันนึงถ้า primmie อยากจะเป็น igl ก็เป็นได้ จะได้เพิ่มความเข้าใจเกมด้วยไม่ใช่แค่คมอย่างเดียว
you dont have the context or the behind the scenes knowledge to have this opinion. Let Fr0st do his job, he has been doing this forever now.
I love Asuna but this actuallly sheds a bit of insight into him. I kind get why Frost and him don’t see eye to eye.
Yeah it has to be Asuna. On that berlin roster the non pros could be nitr0 steel and hiko so honestly all 3 can be safe, and then Ethan won champs so I get him having a pass, and zekken and Asuna played the same roles at that time.
no one can hear him !
Hah. Still not sure what happened there. We use VDO ninja for the remote call which I feed into vmix. They randomly stopped being able to hear me late in the show hence the awkward moment.
Honestly I would love to work under frost just the amount of knowledge and passion he has is rare to find
2:30:36 the think that frost doesnt know is, BOOM CEO say after they lose the grand final they have a meeting, and the decision at that meeting was to make change for split 3...but suddenly they are on VCT now. if they are going to make changes for split 3, what is the difference when they now in VCT ? The decision has been made before they get the slot (watch YAP2ASIA).
Holy Fr0st went off. Don’t know why this isn’t as big as it should be. But very useful insight and clearly shows how bad some teams are being managed.
BTW it says under the description "Navi rumors" and "Liquid rumors" for the 2hrs 36mins mark but in the video they weren't talking about those things.
I ended up cutting some news we were outdated on and forgot to remove the stamps. Thanks for the heads up.
i think most people who piss that frost did not pick up sscary are not even thai imo
I mean his buyout is also expensive af
@@Lines2322he’s a fa rn I think they should consider
im thai yeah i love sscary but im agree with frost choice to not hit panic button
he has no buyout, bleed was terminated from the league so he is a free agent
Let’s go
Get anderzz on this podcast, that would be hype.
0-2, 0-2 what happened to champs talon😅
you're such an idiot
I mean, if you watch any of the podcasts, FrosT roasts himself for this basically every week. Talk your shit though bro.
Barbecue.. 😭
1:28:00 T1 Meteor
lol. Just release it when you film. It’s not like y’all getting hella views.
GOat
Frost glazing GC I didn’t know he was like that.
bro steve looks like if someone took slasher and asmongold, combined them and was like "let's make this guy look good tho"
I suppose i'll take that as a compliment lmao
Would love it if you add a recording date high up in the description. Assuming Steve is there during the recordings, I peronally would love it if he dropped a comment or jab at Hector every now and then (espessialy in the episodes without guests).
I'm going to start doing this in the description. Good suggestion. I chimed in on this week's episode as well for a couple minutes -Steve
is frost talking about ray4c?
After listening,Frost will either be overcooking or cooking in next season lets see tho
1:54:02 did he say derke? if so there was no need to bleep, its already known now
Might be talking about Faded the coach, but even he has been rumoured
yeah its faded, you can hear frost say the F
@@sheppy5152 but as he said that has also been rumored too
Frost is so girly pop with Sonder here
20:19 i didn’t know frost was girlie pop like that
1:31:00 basically guarantees T1 buzz 🥲
great episode for the next guest could yall get neilzinho or sliggy maybe thanks!
Let’s gooooo
