less is a million times better than botnicle yet vit still chose to throw the bag at him. chron can also go back to flex
The most forced EU agenda of all time will try to sell you Chronicle as a GOAT candidate. Their strongest argument is basically just a trophy count, which is already a weak argument considering thats a team achievement. Lets take a look at the superteam merchant "trophies" then:
b0tnicles "trophies" (none of them are Champions trophies):
Masters Berlin (2021): carried by prime nAts inventing lurking, Gambit was winning games with >Redgar playing Reyna< on Haven, plumbers era, VCT only truly started in 2022
Lockin (2023): he was fighting with Boaster for 4th best player on Fnatic (this never changed), played a GF against a nerfed LOUD team that had 2 rookies and their star players were suffering from serious health problems (aspas was going through physiotherapy and Less was taking serums between maps to not pass out, going to the hospital right after the games). He still almost lost and has zero memorable plays from that tournament. Leo MVP
Masters Tokyo (2023): something(Pacific MVP) was not there, Demon1 (future champs MVP) didnt practice with the team because of VISA issues, LOUD (Americas #1) was dead with internal problems
As soon as these asterisks disappeared, FNC did worse than all 3 teams at Champions 2023
1- EG (Demon1 practiced with the team!)
2- PRX (something was there!)
3- LOUD (internal problems almost solved!)
4- FNC
b0tnicle's performances on the tournament that matters, the World Championship of Valorant, Champions:
Champions 2021: lost to -31 Kiles with +31 nAts on his team
Champions 2022: didnt qualify
Champions 2023: He was the MAIN REASON prime Fnatic 2023 lost Champions 23
https://www.vlr.gg/248270/fnatic-vs-loud-valorant-champions-2023-playoffs-ubqf -15 against LOUD (Quarterfinals)
https://www.vlr.gg/248282/fnatic-vs-loud-valorant-champions-2023-playoffs-lr3 -22 against LOUD (Lower Semifinals) Fnatic eliminated.
Champions 2024: Eliminated by SEN. Sacy is still more victorious than the "most victorious player" 😂
Champions 2025: suffered the biggest support diff of all time against NRG Ethan. Ethan had 3 rookies on his team and carried them on the most important map of the year, 5th map of Champions Grand Finals. b0tnicle was getting carried all game by the only rookie on his team, we struggle to remember a singular round from ghostnicle on that 5 map BO5. Ethan is also more victorious than the "most victorious player" narrative they try to sell you 😂
The "most decorated player" argument falls to pieces as he never won the biggest trophy (got embarassed at the biggest stage every time), and he is just not the most decorated player, thats Ethan and even Sacy was already ahead of Chronicle in 2024.
How can he even be considered in GOAT convos when he never won the World Championship of the game? And 90% of the time, he has ghost performances getting carried by superteams, still chokes and worst of all: hes the main reason his superteam lost (Champions 2023, ruined prime Fnatic Champions run).
Some other bumicle finals appearances:
Masters Toronto: got carried by Alfajer again (better than cumnicle since 2022, thats almost all of VCT) Lost to f0rsaken, the true GOAT flex, who can actually play every agent and MVP'ed the tournament.
b0tnicle was also beefing with teenagers and threatning them over a ranked clip a day before getting owned by PRX f0rsaken
EWC: not even a real tournament but he still managed to choke against the biggest chokers of all time
Individual stats: Chronicle has 3(three) teammates of his ABOVE him in international ratings, and somehow they're all worse than Chronicle? Greatest PR of all time
Eye test: lets be real, we can remember maybe 3 Chronicle plays in 5 YEARS of VCT, we can also name at least 30 players that are objectively more skilled than him.
Cultural impact: zero. Boaster is the face of Fnatic and nAts was the face of Gambit. How am I supposed to buy b0tnicle's narratives when hes never even the main guy of his team, in both performance AND cultural impact
Leo, Alfajer and Derke are the ones suffering the most from this forced b0tnicle agenda. Imagining carrying his ass for 90% of VCT while the superteam merchant gets all the flowers from it to the point he gets compared to >Aspas<...
How can you ever be considered in GOAT convos if you're never the best player of your own team for your entire career? In b0tnicle's case is even worse, he was competing for 4th Fnatic player against his 30 years old british tiktok dancer IGL.
EMEA's MVPs: 2023: Leo, 2024: Wo0t, 2025: kaajak
He was never the MVP of his own region, but as you can see again, his super teammates are there to carry him year after year
Now he hopped into another superteam, in hopes of finally winning a real trophy, the Champions trophy. I feel for Derke, he'll have to carry him again and still get rated under b0tnicle.
Paper rex
(Yes im implying prx need to kick something, no im immortal, yes i dont just read stats)
He is going to FNC 100% with boaster either moving to china or becoming a coach of the team, its too obvious
not really any incentive for him to come to FNC. used to have chronicle and be good. but now FNC dont have chronicile, and are almost losing to FUT.
In Spain, several leakers have reported that Boaster received extremely lucrative offers from China. According to them, he would likely have accepted one if he had won Champions, but after the loss he decided to stay with Fnatic for one more year. However, it is expected that those offers will still be on the table in the coming seasons, and that he may move there before retiring and transitioning into a coaching role
i think nats is the only IGL i would really like as a replacement for boaster when he decides to step down.
everything else is either unrealistic or downgrade in my mind
nah, botquid always rebuild around nats but sell other players that improve mid season
many mid emea team would want him good igl and still top fragger / sent player. now idk how he would get to a new team i don't think he 'll ever change
imo he resigns thats what i meant even tho i didn't know he was ending this year
