it's especially rich coming from Ppd, who on many interviews has prided himself on being a player/coach and been dismissive of coaches drafting for the team

I'm not saying it should be allowed.

Just that notail is being a baby and idiot for not reading the email that ESL apparently sent out to everyone explicitly saying that this was now allowed and then for him to start crying about it on Twitter.

Edit: I understand no battle pass for TI10 but I would've liked to seen one to support the T2 and T3 teams in the lower division DPC leagues.

I'd like to see the email and know who it was sent and the context of it. Also it's comically that OG sort of farmed their own fountain with this own goal here.

they probably submitted for season 1 the same way as every other team did and then didnt resubmit for season 2 because it was all the same content anyway.

I agree it should be against the rules. It’d be bad enough even if he was just in the room, but if he was actually independently observing, that seems like a serious advantage.

But I understand, gotta make a crutch for these weak European teams.

If they rely on it too much, then they'll get negatively impacted on LAN where coaches aren't allowed in game.

Alliance only has one game left I think, against hellbear smashers


Imagine how hilarious it would be if they lose that game now that they can't rely on the coach as much.

They won against Liquid, Nigma, Secret and OG without a coach and lot to Brame with a coach so I'm not entirely sure the impact is that big.

I don't think this is true. The rules were established at the beginning of season 2 allowing coaches and they had Loda or someone right? Likely they had him there all the time.

Loda hasn't been a coach since the Liquid lineup left. Alliance had no coach until ppd joined recently.

ppd was absolutely coaching Alliance before they made the official announcement, I think nikobaby made a tweet thanking their new coach and added a bunch of salt emotes to the end of it like two weeks prior

Neither of these events will fund The International prize pool, as the TI10 Battle Pass prize pool still remains to be claimed.
