entry is easier, you get better info so your calls are better too.

You do initial damage so fights are easier.

e.g. Leo on fnatic. It's like his util never misses. Visibility or shock darts or flashes, it always seems to have SOME impact at least

Initiator and it isn't even close.

If your initiator is insane, duelists will perform better, everyone performs better

It's sad man.

Let Tenz just take the bag with streaming (or selling overpriced mice) and give the actual deserving players a chance.

ofc it's for clout.

TenZ is one of the worst and least flexible players in NA franchising at the moment lmao.

Just because SEN won a map against a team that is still learning to play together, doesn't mean SEN is good.

SEN still going out in groups of every event guaranteed

Look at any team that has made it to top 1 and stayed there across both CSGO and Valorant.

All of them had a strong dedicated IGL, who usually was quite meh individually.

You can’t just get rid of boaster and expect fnatic to continue to perform

Probably 16-17 as a realistic average.

Loads of 14-15 year olds and then some outlier hltv veterans to offset that number and take it to 16-17

boaster most consistent IGL since start of valorant? Topping EMEA since SUMN FC days, and later world for a long while? Defining and/or perfecting the meta on half the maps in the game? Trophies?

His teams have always been highly coordinated, even when they were lacking firepower before they signed Leo and Alfa. That's the true hallmark of a great IGL.

"aspas go kill" is not a great strat

People who continue to disregard boaster are absolutely braindead or do not understand the game.

The metas on half the maps were either defined or perfected by boaster/mini combo.

fnatic, even back in SUMN FC days, were always known for their amazing coordination, even when they were lacking some extra firepower that they now do have. Hallmark of a great IGL.

putting boaster under those 3 is a crime

I'd assume the profit margins to be a pretty large % knowing how these things work.

The biggest dependency that determines TenZ' personal profit margin is the percentage of the margin that is agreed to split with the actual manufacturer. Numbers are large enough to warrant significant bulk buy discounts.

No need to spend on any marketing and the overhead associated with it, which other brands DO have to do. No need to share margins by selling on platforms like Amazon as you can easily go direct given his leverage with his fans.

His personal margins are almost guaranteed to be large unless he negotiated a shit deal with the manufacturer.

It's literally in the OP

Also why would you lose the best IGL for someone who does not IGL, who has role clashes with the rest of the team (Alfa)?? Leadership issues would arise immediately.

Wow that was boaster IGLing and nAts not IGLing.

Proof is in the pudding. Can't replace an IGL with nAts.

cNed individually better.

Most lefties just play right handed. I'm a leftie too. If you share a computer growing up, you couldn't just change settings every time.

As a kid I never even changed keybinds. The standard keybinds were simply the keybinds I used. Some games didn't even allow you to change keybinds.

Left click was shoot in every shooter, so never even occured to me to use the mouse in my left hand.

He was a pretty decent awper. Was replaced by Zywoo who’s a top 2 player

posted 5 months ago

Hear me out:

In favor of cNed:
-cNed better individually on specific agents
-higher peak and carry potential

In favor of ardiis:
-deeper agent pool
-more adaptable
-needs less teammate util to set him up
-more of a hype man

In conclusion:
Despite cNed being a better individual player, Ardiis is the better fit for Na’Vi cause of how frequently they change strats, and doesn’t need the strats to be based on enabling him as much as cNed. Also Na’Vi was missing a hype man with stoic Shao, Suy and Ange1 on the team
