not trying to be mean but man is literally a worse ange1, his entire team just does damage control after he trolls. this fnc team is insane, but i dont think its because of the calls, considering they rely on alfa/chronicle to lurk and leo to pull off ridiculous clutches

i really wish there was an interview with the former/current fnc bros, so they can dispell or approve some myths, we can all sit here and speculate for years but until someone comes out, thats all there is. speculation.

boaster's calling is good, don't get me wrong. but i think they could improve even where they are at now if the calling had a bit more depth, since boaster maybe is leaning more on the individuality of his players.? it is speculation/constructive criticism from me, but im just noting it

it doesn't take much to identify common trends in their rounds, especially during playoffs

seems like these "common trends" you talk about are difficult for even superteams like TL to counter

TL are not a superteam, they are a very good team. fnc and loud are the only two ''superteams'' in the world

also the point of having insane mechanical players is that they can pull off clutches, TL are losing because they cannot hold their advantages against leo or alfa. has nothing to do with boaster's calling as a whole

Fair point on the superteam tag, and you're right, the raw mechanics of FNC players often tilt the scale in their favor. But here's where Boaster's leadership comes in - he knows his players, trusts their abilities, and puts them in positions to clutch these rounds. You're giving Boaster less credit than he deserves. His role isn't just about making calls, it's also about managing the team's dynamics and utilizing the talent to its fullest. While there's always room for improvement, let's not discount the impact of his leadership on FNC's success.

A big part of Boaster's role as an IGL isn't just mid-round shot calling but also setting up game plans, pre-round strategies and player positioning. It's not just about reacting to what happens in the moment, but planning for what might occur. A good IGL can make average players shine and great players outshine themselves. And that's where Boaster's true value lies.

Superteams are not just a collection of mechanical prowess. They are well-oiled machines with strategic planning and a deep understanding of the game, facilitated by an IGL. And if FNC and LOUD are superteams, Boaster's leadership undoubtedly plays a key role in that. So, let's not sell his impact short.

You say he is a worse ange1, but there was a time when he had slightly worse players than FPX and would still win the EMEA title. They were also fairly consistently top5 ish since 2021.

that is true, but considering how they played after that regional win, i can't say that was the case. also, he won the title twice, once at the start of valorant and another last year. one of those times was without the presence of that FPX roster that won copenhagen
