Boostio is definitely just ok after the chamber nerf the only good player on that team is jawgemo and he's still rlly inexperienced. The issue with that team is just that the 3 players on there from the eg core are just lacking in gamesense. They don't know what to do and how to communicate and play off each other in the mid to late round and it always falls apart especially when given pressure. They have benched players better than them and I agree demon1 and potentially screwface should be starters considering the main team isn't all that good anyway
where is all the bcj disrespect in this thread coming from
also +screwface cause he seems like someone who wants to prove himself, and boostio's calling is mid as fuck anyway so why tf not, -Com let boostio frag comfortably (we know he can) and screwface plays sova igl
+demon1 cause an exceptional duelist makes your job way easier than it should be
I think their problem seems to be their attack side. I would have to rewatch the vods to totally give a full take, but from what I can remember I know against c9 ran no a 0 duelist comp on Pearl with 2 initiators and they just could not take space to get on site and then they ran sova on fracture which is a very unorthodox pick, so maybe they were just trying things out in the first week...

But they frequently seem to just send BcJ across the map to lurk which I think is a fine play to do sometimes to catch the enemy offguard and apply that sort of pressure, but they do it way too often and he is way to far. It's almost as if he is being used as a turret to hold flanks and pushes instead of taking his own pushes to catch a pick on rotates or even show the threat of such a thing. So if he doesn't encounter someone trying to flank the people on site just are fighting a 4v5 with more angles to clear and harder to trade fights.
And when he does get to site it usually much later and he fighting a losing battle or he is trying to rescue his last surviving teammate from an corner but the enemies have a guess he is probably coming from a late flank or something and are just waiting for him holding the angle he peaks.
I think BcJ is a very good player and you can see it when he is on defense and also from his time on XSET, just I think he is being misused to do these long passive lurks when pro play is all about being proactive and taking space and gaining info. And they are using him in a way that doesn't really do any of that while keeping him on smokes so he can just throw his smokes across the map. -
SEN put pANcada on sentinel just so he could do this exact lurk type thing while getting the most out of his agent kit, so maybe EG might want to do something similar with BcJ?? but I am no coach, I don't think its potter's fault they just need to change like one or two things and will be good. They have pretty solid players just aren't using them to their best potential imo
TL:DR- Stop sending BcJ on these passive lurks its not working :) (but its not his fault dont hate on one of the goats)
