In Defense of Boaster

Stats don’t lie but…

• i think he was an integral part in building team spirit across different roster iterations (especially with crashies and kaajak this year). Yes, they didn’t win the whole event but the trust and cooperation needed to make the lower bracket run that they did is not something that’s easily developed.
• he still managed to wreck valyn and johnqt, top contenders for the title of “fragging igls” at this tournament
• while a lot of people criticize fnatic’s slow paced gameplay, they had the strategies and protocols to make top 2 at Toronto. Yes, he could have had mid round assistance from his experienced teammates, but it’s his brain pulling the strings and adapting to the shifting metas. No hate intended, but I think Vitality is a good example of what happens when you prioritize “fragging power” over “tactical leadership”

Overall yes Boaster’s stats do warrant some criticism but at the same time you CANNOT deny the positive impact he has on Fnatic’s essence, identity, and success as a whole.

boaster, regardless of how terribly he shoots, is still the most integral part of every fnatic roster that has ever existed

vlr users just think that being 2nd warrants benching lmao

there isn't anything to argue, he is the GOAT IGL, period.

Fr ppl forget that this iteration isn’t built to win THIS YEAR
I remember a clip of boaster and chron saying that making international was a good sign for them

i think its silly that people think he should be benched for going -30, he always does this, the difference maker yesterday was him not getting the IMPORTANT kills, or giving away his life for free, i do really believe he cost them the match yesterday, but missing those important kills, or being punished well for mistakes can happen to anyone, just happened to be a bad day for him.

all this talk ... just prove it replace him and see ...

this iteration of FNC is FNC version of TH slowly adding in players so a system can be established when boaster leaves
(if he is fragging doesnt improve which it has and it still going so maybe this might never happen) where who ever picks up igl prob chron will have a 2nd caller and a 2nd midrounder and the rest will play correctly in there system

having nothing left but improvement in there system so a new player only needs to shoot like there is no tmrw making it a great recipe for a goat EU team

and let me add something in defense of boaster
going minus 30 is CRAZY bad but when u realize its prx the most mechs gifted team itw rn it isnt that crazy when he just started improving his mechs cause he has literally everything else figured out he is the best caller in this game u give him as many chances as he wants to ee if he can improve if he can fnc are unbeatable
