Hi all, this topic has probably been discussed already in the past, but following another Major win by coach Malmir I was thinking about it.
So, who's the greatest coach on Fumbbl for you? (I understand it's hard to pick just one, multiple nominations are welcomed ).
It's an overall consideration, I'll probably create another poll asking about the greatest coach for specific race played |

I guess it wasn't hard to pick just one after all |

Ive always admired Krytens pretty diverse skills
Azure just has a knack for the game like no other
and it would be quite a shame to leave out happygrue
not sure about major wins or anything 'tangible' but these guys are damn good
Honourable mentions would be PC, Wreckage and Purplegoo |

Im particularly impressed by coaches who play equally or even stronger than I and that in under 2 minute turns. I wonder that if there would be no time limit and 1.000.000 at stakes they could even play significantly better. |

I don't think anyone can be classed 'the greatest' as it is too subjective. My list of coaches who are great would be, from trawling back through the archives (and I reserve the right to add people too this when others mention them):
(in no order other than the order I found them from by memory and searching archives)
Bazakastine
Madvig
MrT and some numbers
Cdassak
Relezite
Morehouse (RIP)
Mateus2222222222222222222222222222222222
Jokaero
Purplechest
Kingvan
Endzone
PeteW
Strider84
Stonetroll
Vicius
Tricktickler
JockMcrowdy
Harad
Happygrue
Fxiii
Justicium
Wreckage
I've focused on coaches who can play at a variety of team ratings and/or with a large variety of races. If a major gets drawn, I'm hoping these guys are in a different qualifier. Hat's off. |

Yeah, my list misses far too many of the coaches in Malmirs above post. |

That's right man and I totally agree, but I thought "Greatest coach" was more attractive than "Best coach" |

All the above-mentioned are fantastic coaches.
From a personal point of view, I would mention particularly Stonetroll because I think his playstyle is unique. |
