ImAPet would almost certainly have gone to coach a VALORANT squad, if it hadn't been for 100 Thieves picking him up from the animal shelter Evil Geniuses left him at. In an interview with HLTV, the 23 year old coach told us all about it. The NA-based Australian squad had been without a coach ever since kassad was cut from the team, and so this move only makes sense.
Not only did Chet - yeah we can call him by his first name, cause we know him from the internet, and its not a big deal like that **- talk about signing with 100T, he also told us a little bit more about his time away from coaching a professional Counter-Strike team. A shift to VALORANT would've meant he would take on another role - General Manager - where he would be able to put together a roster for Riot's new FPS.
He also mentions how the reason he almost switched games was because he didn't have many options. According to him, not a lot of teams are looking to replace their coach right now, and he deems himself really lucky to be in 100 Thieves today. We deem ourselves lucky to still have his brainpower in our scene, but mostly so we can find a way to work the sentence "pet a Chet" into our coverage at one point..
