No matter how hard things got and no matter how hopeless things seemed, she never lost belief in herself or achieving her dreams. This is her story.

Making a video about the most female cs player who doesnt play competetive valorant or at least to no success afaik and not naming it the queen of cs? Whos the queen of cs then? Only reason shes at riot events is money we dont have to talk about that

[@adityakejariwal4840]

yo "Queen of Valorant"?? SERIOUSLY?? ADD THE WORD COACHING MAN. No disrespect to Potter but we do have some great great female PLAYERS as well.

[@lucastesting9612]

Let potter cook.

[@noahkurteff-schatz7543]

Oh, so bad

[@_Fulgur_]

cooked, ate and left no crumbs

[@rpchn5698]

i wish chet cook like Potter with demon1 but all we got is burned food

[@newo32121]

She is so commited and happy about this job that she even has custom handshakes with her players!

[@somepepperonyoutube8374]

imagine being so damn good that you can face a prime PRX and be confident hail to the queen

[@_sansvisage]

im just a bit a salty that prx didnt win cause it was said to be jinggs last game but wellplayed evil geniuses that was a hell of a underdog story

[@Zaptrap101]

​@@_sansvisageyou are lucky you get to see Jing again but EG fans don't get to see EG again. I never saw such sad thing coming only thinking about Jing but forgot EG can also be gone😢

[@silentKeys20]

0:48 That scene with Potter and Boostio looks like a mom scolding her kid 😂

[@rpchn5698]

Thats a real coach man she don't hold back and scold the player responsible if the player needed it just like Alecks, and many great coach honestly like Pep Guardiola, Sir Alecks, brave coach who don't hesitate to fight his own player for thier own benefit

[@B8ann]

W mans

[@seourie]

What match was it when this happened?

[@allainangcao28]

Potter literally is the definition of a Gamer Mom. Instead of being mad, you came home with an F, she wants to know why you went 0/12. 😂

[@bit_ronic]

potter's probably now scolding boostio over him not making champs lol

[@jb8641]

that 2023 EG run was like a fever dream now that we're almost a year removed from it. It's so surreal that you'd drop everything you're doing just to watch them play live. I remember that everyone questioned Potter's credibility as a coach when they were a laughingstock except for a small amount of us who believed. I did so because I thought it was amazing that she's the only woman in a huge league of men and rooted for her even if they were losing. I'm so glad that they were able to bounce back after and had her prove everyone wrong in Tokyo and Champs. It's sad that it fell off quickly but man, those days were one of the most memorable days in every valorant fan's recent memories. The underdog dominating on the biggest stage.

[@maeryum]

Nah EGs win will never be forgotten. Absolute CINEMA.

[@theonenonly2060]

She reminds a lot of Tom coughlin, head coach of the ny giants, leading a rag tag group to absolutely shock the world. She made EG champions once, she most definitely will do it again

[@rizzobeloved]

I still believe in Potter’s tenacity. I’ve been riding the EG train since 2022, and I just have this feeling that she will make the 2023 magic happen again. If she says she’s not done, then I’m not done believing in her

[@davidlian266]

The fact that demon1 said if MIBR won he would go bald and then at 13:42 you can see he actually went bald🤣

[@KayandraJT]

his head was shaved live on stage 😆

[@bocciijenuba]

that was the beginning of the bald buff 🧑‍🦲

[@campfire_minis]

Absolutely awesome to see women's eSports coverage. Admittedly I never looked for it explicitly, but seeing a big channel like theScore using their platform to expose their audience to this amazing competitive environment is great. Cheers guys!

[@Sg190th]

Goated Coach and an OG gamer when most of these pros are either in their diapers or in primary school.

[@arbee21]

How have I never heard of Potter until now? theScore has to be my favourite esports source by a long shot.

[@AllanMurmann]

Where you familiar with CS scene at all tho? she was HER for more than a decade. (The video don't how much but she was very influencial on the cs male scene also, not just woman scene)

[@ktae9930]

Criminal how there’s no story of Sacy yet. From league player to Valorant champions winner then to masters winner

[@Definitely_Melnyx]

Correct me, but wasn’t he only semi-pro in League? Good for his success in Valorant, although breaking into a new game is usually easier instead of an established esport.

[@marlon7826]

@@Definitely_Melnyx No semi pro, professional player on CBLOL

[@Lawthethrash]

There is a Video for sacy, it's not updated to his masters win tho

[@user-uc7gk4ch6s]

There was one made last year and that's how i found out sacy came from league

[@ngocnguyen-cb4to]

because other players from LOUD and SEN outshined him, his contribution is not huge bros

[@JustinRiray]

I somehow have never heard of Potter, but I am glad I stumbled over this video..... being an FPS player for like 20 years, my wife and I being major gamers, and more importantly, my little sister being a gamer (at one point when she was 9 and I was 12, she was better than me at SC2 and I was so proud of that). Love that she is blazing the way for female gaming and esports in general. She's dope!

[@acatwhopurrs5031]

I legitimately teared up. I'm around potter's age and have somewhat lost my desire to compete even in local tournaments, only playing unranked Valorant and fighting games. Hers and Team Secret's JessieVash (and numerous fighting game pros like Daigo and Justin Wong) are proof that age does not matter when you have the desire to improve, evolve, and win. Thanks for this quality content. I wanna reflect on this seriously.

[@Xiriusly-rs5db]

I'm so sorry that this is the first time I've heard of her story even being invested in the esports scene for over a decade. She's an inspiration for all gamers!

[@trayvixk4642]

In the Valorant scene, Mommy Potter is beloved after that run in Tokyo and then championship. Glad they're finally covering her because she's considered on of the best Valorant coaches in the pro scene for awhile. She's coach in one of the worst orgs and still went to finals in Tokyo and then won a championship.

[@GucciLee27]

lmao why you sorry

[@yamiRic]

Valorant is so blessed as the only tier 1 esports that have a woman as one of the best coach in the world. If this game is still alive in 10 years, Potter's name will still be constantly being mentioned and possibly be in Hall of Fame one day. As PRX fan, that grand final was a nightmare.. Seeing how Potter and Boostio outsmarted PRX was painful but very deserved for EG to win that out.

[@HelldiverMeowdy]

Potter is the essence of a true warrior’s spirit. Nothing less of that and more.

[@kath0015]

"I don't find ways to motivate myself. I just wanna win again." I LOVE THIS

[@N8ISAGR8PE]

No matter how much you may dislike EG as an organization, you can always be a Potter fan.

[@privatjetconnaisseur]

the drive to just do it all over after the pay cuts and having the team split up is just mesmerizing. i could imagine her never pressing save in a video game and when she loses all the progress shes not frustrated, but happy and motivated. the stories about these personalities sometimes make me pick myself up when im down, i think, what LS has done, what huanfeng has done. potter is right up there now.

[@woongfairy]

gosh, i was emotional and tearing up throughout the whole second half of this. well made 👏👏👏

[@Jinkzzzz]

Bro, I remember watching Potter in middle school. Lowkey the reason why I got into Csgo.

[@saubhadrsamod1040]

if she was on a roster like fnatic who already have a good record of talent scouting and amazing players and enough money to buy new players she would literally cook a year worth of trophies

[@silentKeys20]

Not necessarily. She looks like she enjoys cooking something from scratch rather than given a preexisting, working team.

[@saubhadrsamod1040]

@@silentKeys20 you may be right that's why I said fnatic who have good talent scouting but it can be also because she knows eg doesn't have money so she doesn't try btw making a team of existing pro players with lan experience is a more efficient way to get results

I remember watching the collective valorant internet coming for potter's head after their 13-0 to loud and if anyone told me they would come second in M2 and win champs, I would absolutely not believe them but she absolutely made it happen. she is literally one of the best coaches valorant has seen

[@rishabhadhikari6456]

Won as a player and as a coach... Goated AF

[@ImABadTeammate]

In Potter, I trust.

[@gemthemage]

I still remember arguing with this kid online saying Potter is shit cause she removed bcj and I told him she's an amazing coach and see what she does. Few months after she came second in Tokyo and then a world champion. She's the goat when you compare the teams she get to what other coaches have.

[@smilesrykee7067]

Holy sh*t I always squirm when I think of how terribly EG organization fumbled the bag after winning. I loved that roster

[@Olziq]

Amazing video! I love hearing the backgrounds of such impactful figures in the scene

[@ignisterr.9418]

I love how Potter is the definition of a player that have that ferocity and passion to compete, definitely she's one of the women i admire for sure, let's go coach Queen!!❤

[@khaid4263]

ngl in 2023 I hated EG because of demon1 and boostio, but looking back on it potter really worked a miracle, and I'm excited to see if she can do it again

[@OkReXx]

the best way i can put it is that potter is an author of a book, the book is EG and the main character of the book is demon1

[@Zaptrap101]

10:58 Potter's response to George whoever that is's post "Don't you dare to doubt me"😂

[@renxi7846]

I remember started watching Master Tokyo, but didn't know which team to root for since I rarely watch esport, so I picked EG since they sounds cool and Demon1 was popping off during the semi final, but too bad, they failed short to Fanatic in the Final and seeing Pottor waving the tropic after the game as she left the stage got me exiting to see where she will take the team. And she delivered it back home!

[@babykayc]

This has to be one of the greatest sports stories of all time

[@CodeNet0911]

Truly one of the best Valorant stories. 2023 reached out so much whether it be the coach, players, music; I have hopes for her new team

[@maeryum]

Potter is so cool and an admiration. She’s made her mark on both CS and Valorant!

[@xlllNIGHTMARElllx]

About fking time you guys spotlight Potter.

[@AHKhan-po4fc]

She can make any team work, legend

[@trayvixk4642]

Whenever the other team had a time out to run a strat, Potter found ways for EG to still win that round and win when they lost pistol. That 2023 team was also the best in the world on Fracture. They were just so clean with that map, no one could beat them.

[@GladysGordon-zq1wr]

Love your creativity, it's inspiring!

[@samaldag478]

One of the biggest constants throughout this video was the voice of Pansy doing commentary. I would love to see a story of for her. Easily my favorite commentator in valorant.

stories like these is what i tried to consistently coach my youth teams is that if you wanna achieve something, you need to work hard for it. You can have your mind on winning medal or trophies, but you cant do at all if you can't put in the effort and hard work 1st. common mistake every athelteplayers always make

One thing everyone always gets wrong is the 13-0, if you watched the first 2 maps eg looked insane beating loud in a dominant way and nearly winning the second map, at the time loud looked like the best team so even though they got 13-0d people had hope for eg after the game
