boaster. his stream is by far the most educational i’ve ever watched. he’s top fragging on astra while giving insight to his positioning and comms.

overall it’s hard for fans to judge who’s the best IGL. so much happens behind the scenes, as far as strats, comms, and chemistry.

I choose shahzam because beside his basic quality as igl which already pretty good, he can control TenZ on what to do and what not to do.
He is the lone strategist and the one who review the enemy playstyle, watch old VOD, etc. And the coach too. Basically because SEN don't have analyst and coach so he do that too. That's what I think made him best igl.

2nd goes to boaster, because his strategy is so damn good. Watch some of his stream, when he analyze about post plant or line up or something with technical explanation is so great.

You say that its hard to judge based on strats and comms and chemistry and all that and yet claim that boaster is the best igl. sus

I feel like Shahz is the best at reading other teams and has overall makes better decisions mid-round compared to other IGL's, when it comes to developing new strats though I think both Ange1 and Boaster are better

Shaz is insane but Vanity's calls were also insane I would like to add he really led that team to beat Liquid.

Has to be either Shahzam or Boaster. I would go with Shahzam but Boaster is not far behind.

yeah, that was kinda meant as a disclaimer. from what i see and hear from streams, boaster is 1 fantastic IGL. i don’t hear shahz explain as much. shahzam’s team beat boaster’s team, of course, so something is up.

Shahzam has been the most successful and effective IGL as of yet

The issue is you're equating someone being educational as being a good IGL. You can be educational and be a mediocre IGL. As an IGL, your team all conveys information and an IGL decides what to do next based on information gathered. Hell, even Boaster/Shahz creating strats for each map and hero pool doesn't change the fact that that's not made during a game. That's great coaching, which is different.

I agree that it's hard to tell who is the best IGL, but the fact that Shahz has been around for a while and been highly successful, I'd have to give an educated guess and say he's the best IGL.
