fRoD reveals how MIBR landed aspas
It's safe to say a lot of things happened to MIBR and their VCT roster from the end of the 2024 season to the time I talked to head coach Daniel "fRoD" Montaner before the 2025 season. From the arrival of aspas to rebuilding the rest of the MIBR squad, I sat down with fRoD to cover all topics that are affecting his team.

    I like atlus better. Atlus has great control over the flow of the match. He doesnt try to hype low hype plays, when the gane is slow, they match the pace. That way when hype moments happen you'll feel and know. Being hyped for everything like flowers make it so it doesnt feel like anything is hype at all. And honestly i enjoy medic over flowers as well.

    • @ZZiquelleTV
      @ZZiquelleTV 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I do think most of this is due to the language barrier of not knowing Portuguese for people in the val community, Similar to what happened with Deph who didn’t stream faced more scrutiny because people didn’t know him (who didn’t stream at all) so i do think in away it’s people inability to empathize with something they “don’t know’ has been one of the many reasons I’m thinking about lately.
