As we know the "Goat trio IGL" consists of FNS, Boaster and Saadhak.
FNS has been away for quite a while and Saadhak hasn't maintained his consistency ( even after his current run with KRU ), so it's no brainer 2 spots are up for grab now.
Note : Boaster will remain #1 IGL till he retires.
Top Contenders :
Who are your #2 and #3? Do comment down players if I missed anyone.
not even a trio anymore its just Saadhak and Boaster. No one comes close
the concept of IGL for PRX doesn't make sense. Everyone calls stuff (maybe not Jingg but whatever)
i think
team liquid are doing him quite dirty with the comps
not really his fault
not him
he wants to play vyse over cypher on lotus the coaching staff doesnt let him
??Fym coaching staff doesnt let him that sounds dumb as hell. Lohan aint doing that shit idk where you heard it from
nats said it himself
on the last group stage game
post plant interview that they do
he has been on this team for century in esports standards he is the common denominator
Boo is a flat earther from a regional merchant bum team. He isn't even top 20.
Saadhak is still legit but fns' spot goes to whichever of valyn or crws gets a trophy first
potentially but some players keep playing until they realise they're becoming a liability
FNS does not belong anywhere near top 3 IGLs when he only had one year of greatness and it was when he had the best player in the world on his team
he Might be number five
FNS was a good IGL on ENVY in 2021, OPTIC in 2022 and NRG in 2023, arguably even on 2025 NRG just cause He wasnt winning doesn't mean he couldn't igl
for me 2023 and 2021 are extremely soured by the performances at champs. Could just be a Chet thing though, most overrated coach of all time
chet not making roster changes on clearly dysfunctional team is the main reason why FNS didn't go out with a bang 4th at tokyo wasn't bad ngl
u could genuinely fully credit ethan's calling improvement to FNS + having a extremely vocal and smart roster with loads of experience playing the video game
how could it possibly be attributed to fns? when ethan was made IGL he was under a whole new coach with a whole new system. that speaks way more about bonkar than anything imo
FNS was apart of that too bro bonkar can help but he has no T1 calling experience and ethan's improvement as a caller started with FNS i forget the whole fiasco for nrg 25
FNS for sure helped with training his calling and was a factor for sure the whole point of fns coming back was to help ethan learn how to call along with s0m convincing him to
? ethan didn’t want to be a caller at all (he said himself in 2024) but it was inevitable he would become it given who was on his team
his calling ability in general is pretty overrated in my opinion as well. i think the team as a whole just melds well together
literally what i said
u could genuinely fully credit ethan's calling improvement to FNS + having a extremely vocal and smart roster with loads of experience playing the video game
he still 2nd called with fns im pretty positive he is way to vocal not to i did ditch bonkar lowk but i feel like u always auto account for coaches since they can literally call multiple rounds with a timeout
Coaches build the entire system. He deserves most of the credit as do all coaches
Unfortunately, Valyn has not won an international besides Red Bull home ground, but that doesn’t count. Therefore Valyn must win before he is considered. I put high priority on titles won. Hence why Ethan is my current GOAT.
ethan has only won a single event as an igl or caller
he’s also much more of a product of a good system than an amazing individual caller imo. he’s not a big voice in their comms, it’s mostly mada
unfortunately with this list saadhak will keep being top 2 because of how ass everyone else is
on the top 5 we have:
PRX doesnt even call shots they just run around the map and shoot everyone in the head
couldn't agree more😭😭😭😭
If Saadhak makes it to London, he should remain 2#
Munckin is by far closest to TOP 3 spot (also depends if Valyn or Boo will win London)
idc how much people slander him, if you’re putting mako kingg nats on there you HAVE to put ethan
People are saying Boaster is #1 IGL in the game? That is pretty funny. All his guidance and they haven't made it to an international yet this year? Couldn't lead them to a champs win or a Grand Finals win at EWC. Hilarious.
