Keep your paychecks safe with Cash App's card lock and transaction alerts.

Across two decades, Potter has been driven by one thing, and one thing alone; an unstoppable desire to be the best.

From competing on the server, to working on the analyst desk, to coaching the next generation of FPS stars, Potter has only ever had victory in mind.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

[JustinRiray]

I somehow have never heard of Potter, but I am glad I stumbled over this 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!

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.

[Xiriusly-rsdb]

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!

[NISAGRPE]

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

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

[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.

[Jinkzzzz]

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

[saubhadrsamod]

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

[yuvvrajkperson]

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
