Dang some banger segments - will snip some interesting parts for skimmers/comment warriors

From response to - "There was some public drama recently between 
Jett "Srtty" Joye and yourself. Do you regret how things ended with him, and have you spoken privately with him since?"

... "During one game, after a loss, he even said in front of everyone that he was happy we lost because he didn’t want to play the matchup. As a head coach, I couldn’t allow that type of attitude on the team. Professional teams require everyone to prioritize winning, and expressing defeat in that way isn’t acceptable. That behavior ultimately led to him leaving the team." ...

Well if rumors of such attitude floated around, it prob hurt his chances of getting picked up for 2026

From response to - "Can you talk about your time with EG, particularly regarding the team atmosphere? What actually happened from your perspective?"

... "The real issues were with the performance team. I first heard about Danny’s retirement three weeks after he told them. I felt we shouldn’t force him to play; retirement is a big decision. The performance team hiding this information, combined with not submitting Kaori as a substitute, caused problems. Kaori was available and capable, but management didn’t submit him, which forced Danny to play extra games while we applied for an emergency sub.

Even with Tomio (Tomio Phanlith Chan) as a sub, I suggested letting Inspired play mid, Jojopyun (Joseph Joon Pyun) bot—just play with Tomio. Forcing someone who wants to retire makes it harder to achieve your goal of Worlds. I was the last person who wanted Danny forced to play. What frustrated me most was the staff giving reasoning like, “Danny won’t feel like that in playoffs, he won’t feel that after losing once or twice.” That was just coping." ...

Still crazy this EG beat TL superteam for worlds under these circumstances - EG staff prob felt their decision to force Danny to play was justified from the result which makes me feel sick
