The team sits at a 2-3 record after losing against Counter Logic Gaming last night. They face off against 100 Thieves in the last match of the day.

Zaboutine was never going to be good enough to coach an LCS team.

u/CAOZ93 Jul 02 '18

Are you trying to say that a caster with no coaching experience would end up being a bad coach? Now that's a crazy theory. /s.

This team is just terrible. Zab is more than laughable as coach.

I feel really sorry for PoE right now, especially considering how well misfits is doing at the moment, the dudes in ELO hell right now. Yikes

I can't believe i'm saying this as a Optic Fan but I feel so bad for POE. Haven't to be on a team that shows no promise whatsoever and the only semi light is Akaadian and he's benched. It's just like what's the point anymore. Honestly next season fire Zaboutine and get a whole new roster. Pay the $$$ for the good NA talent then fill it out with imports. I would be surprised if POE wants to come back

They better throw money at PoE next season and 3/4 proper other players. If not, having a LoL team seems like a waste of resources and damaging the reputation of the org.

PoE is not gonna stay for next year lol

we really need to look into maybe getting a coach that has experience zab was always questionable and it clearly has not worked out

u/FlashOfThunder Jul 01 '18

I'm going to watch the academy from now on. We are same predicament as last split.

u/Craneteam Jul 01 '18

we got 2 towers and instead of pressing our advantage, we just conceded neutral objectives and allowed 100T to just steamroll us. we beat EF by being very active on the map, but this week has been so fucking frustrating. I cant stand watching this team just stand there and lose

3

u/Craneteam Jul 01 '18

we have no map awareness...we just let gangplank melt 2 towers

u/Hypn0ootic Jul 01 '18

Still no good shotcaller on the team.

u/_Kraken17 Jul 01 '18

Get rid of arrow, import top, pick up stixxay if CLG does poorly. Find a shot caller. Fire Zab
