lets see...
reykjavik : finals, 2nd
berlin: didn't qual, 16th
champs: 5th to 8th
reykjavik 2: got unlucky, derke had covid
copenhagen: top 4
champs: 5th to 6th
lockin: winners, 1st
2nd,(16th), 5th-8th, 4th, 5th-6th, 1st
seems consistently to be at least a top 5, i see no problem. if boaster was a problem, he would've been dropped right away. its clear that he's a good IGL and not just someone who is being carried by his team.
brahianv [#6]I mean in my opinion he had always worse players than FPX ones and still manage to win the emea title multiple times so no he is not carried.
Fluke for sure

Disagree 100% look at the team he has around in rn and look at fpx accomplishments vs his with that core

Wow acs is such a good stat to determine if a player is a good igl or not!

Well if you look at other great igls of the eras all of them frag to some extent shahz in the early days the only exception is boaster and fns and we have seen fns being an anti strat god

who cares, hes igling, just like fns, just like ange1, just like saadhak, just like redgar,
reykjavik 2 performance does not matter, derke had covid (read the post lil bro)
he improved his mechanics since 2021, ever since he felt that he was holding his team back, which has netted him a significant improvement. players like marved have complimented his improvement recently on stream, (after they won lockin)
its like you completely disregarded the most important role in any team, which is IGL, evidently, you can look at SEN, they didnt have a good IGL but an insane team, which got them bodied, they didn't even QUALIFY!

Firstly, comparing him to fns angel Saadhak and Redgar isn't a valid argument because they all frag and in the case of fns he didn't have a super team built around him it was the same core of players for his entire run meaning he did make them all better rather than having the best players around him ( he made them the best). Secondly, he got outperformed by a sub in Reykjavik 2 so it does matter and so what if Derke had covid H1ber put up decent numbers. Thirdly, your point about igl being the most important role on a team is true, however it completely doesn't affect my point my point is he is a mediorce player who is carried by the super team around him
Daddyzin [#19]W
In How much boaster had good players Saadhak and FNS needed to create good players
Boaster also created good players such as alfajer and especially derke who is arguably one of the if not the best duelist itw
Okoretro [#20]Boaster also created good players such as alfajer and especially derke who is arguably one of the if not the best duelist itw
boaster didn't make derke he was carrying CrowCrowd
TheArcticArcher [#21]boaster didn't make derke he was carrying CrowCrowd
Carrying crowcrowd = best duelist itw
Okoretro [#22]Carrying crowcrowd = best duelist itw
6th best acs in CIS boaster didn't make him an example of a player being made by an igl is yay
TheArcticArcher [#18]Firstly, comparing him to fns angel Saadhak and Redgar isn't a valid argument because they all frag and in the case of fns he didn't have a super team built around him it was the same core of players for his entire run meaning he did make them all better rather than having the best players around him ( he made them the best). Secondly, he got outperformed by a sub in Reykjavik 2 so it does matter and so what if Derke had covid H1ber put up decent numbers. Thirdly, your point about igl being the most important role on a team is true, however it completely doesn't affect my point my point is he is a mediorce player who is carried by the super team around him
your first point is irrelavent since you cannot really see the impact of an IGL with an eye test or stats, regardless of stats, he has 1.04 rating above 1.00 from saadhak, and 0.93 from redgar, which is thanks to his 45% clutch rate 13/29 situations. that is absurdly high.
2ndly imagine you get a random player after playing with derke your whole life, you have protocols with him, fundamentals, you know how he plays, he knows the strats, and all the different niches that you guys have, suddenly you get h1ber who has no team chemistry AND you have to catch him up to speed with all the different stuff you have cooked up all within a short while, that feat is asking for something massive. its not about the performance but the team chemistry, for examply, kamyk, while performing quite well, bbl were able to gain a map from FNATIC, and go 9-13,11-13 on the next maps, it shows you how important team chemistry with alfajer was. again, its not about the eye test, its about what goes wrong behind the scenes. i like how you mentioned FNS, since thats exactly what him and chet have been building with optic, they built a world class team, all by building up their fundamentals, team chemistry and tactics, its no different to boaster and derke, who has been there since early 2021.
your third point is a non point as i have already explained it previously. all igls are mediocre, if we go by your metric
TheArcticArcher [#13]Disagree 100% look at the team he has around in rn and look at fpx accomplishments vs his with that core
Boaster hasn't lost a single match with his new roster, won Lock-In tournament, and is one Bo5 away from going undefeated in this season's VCT EMEA? They are arguably the greatest team in Valorant history at this point...to act like they don't compare to last year's FPX is laughable, tbh.
widepeepofrosty [#2]finally a smart fnatic fan
Flair check hello??? After 3 years of watching drx i can confidently say that I've seen better mid round calling in iron 1 lobbies
People who say this or agree with this only show how little they understand about Valorant.
You look like an idiot to everyone who actually understands the game.
Btw, he has the highest clutch percentage in all of EMEA this year. Explain how his “teammates” are helping him win when they are all dead.

look at the amont of cluthches compared to other top clutchers

nt
TheArcticArcher [#30]look at the amont of cluthches compared to other top clutchers
He has more clutches than everyone higher ranked than him other than 3 people, and those people have WAY more failed clutches.
Kid has had ice water in his veins this year 🥶

Reply back when fnatic doesn't choke in master's and champions playoff

fns has a lower acs than his team, must be a trash igl
TheArcticArcher [#23]6th best acs in CIS boaster didn't make him an example of a player being made by an igl is yay
visit a doctor, you need it. Derke was a known overheater in 2021 2022 and compared to now he restricts himself from overpeeking and taking smart gunfights thanks to boaster who has instructed him and helped him develop, listen to their comms if you want to know more idiot. For alfajer, it is the same case and you did see mistic putting up great numbers on smoke, how tf does someone go from almost bottom fragging in 2021 to putting up numbers as controller on next split? he improved. Mini said chronicle when he came into the team was struggling with flex role, he was flashing himself and teammates on scrims, to the point mini thought he had to put him to initiator role, ofcourse chronicle put the work in but who do you think was helping him with the fundamentals of flex role and all? not to mention he also makes the strats of fnc
