AsterXD [#3]saadhak and fns for sure
id say boostio > fns. he is literally fns who can actually aim
Ballsamolee [#5]id say boostio > fns. he is literally fns who can actually aim
Boostio is barely a good igl compared to fns
juho [#10]Saadhak, fns ofc Boaster p good too. I feel like johnqt at the end of season would turn out to be one of the top igls easily
sen will not even make it to Madrid
Kinga [#11]sen will not even make it to Madrid
He ran your flairs pockets, I wouldn't call SEN out just yet.

LEV and NRG clear sen
cartixuzi [#16]now thats a brain dead take
Boostio has been an igl for like 1 year bro, fns has been igling since cs
kapteN [#15]Imagine not mentioning boaster.
People don't understand IGLing
Yeah I agree, Boaster is also similar to zellsis in the way that he brings up the vibes of the team really well, if fnatic didnt have boaster they wouldnt be nearly as successful

Boostio isn't a good igl compared to fns tho? are u good?
cartixuzi [#20]Boostio isn't a good igl compared to fns tho? are u good?
yeah? fns is one of the greatest igls in valorant
Twentytwo [#22]Btw stax is a good caller too, the guy could call the whole game without a coach calling a timeout. I think his calling is underrated because of their results but they've been consistently been top 5/6
RIP drx without RB and Zest
Conut [#21]yeah? fns is one of the greatest igls in valorant
who do you define as being a "good igl" compared to your all mighty god
cartixuzi [#24]who do you define as being a "good igl" compared to your all mighty god
chaadhak johnqt boaster

DRX have some of the worst midrounding😭😭that’s the whole reason their coach calls timeouts because he wants them to improve 😭😭😭😭
Just know, saadhak was nothing without aspas(look at 2021,2020), FNS was nothing without yay(2021,2020, decent 2023?). Now does that make Boostio and the upcomers a good IGL? nah, Boostio was nothing without Demon1. I would say Boaster is the best proven based on how many rosters he's played on and different variations but then again he has Derke. IGLs can't carry they can just be capable and unlock players. An IGL is only as good as the main duelist they have. Look at Vanity with Shopify rebellions and now with C9 when he has OXY.

cartixuzi [#27]johnqt
Johnqt still makes a lot more sense compared to boostio. If boostio was so good he would've done something with prefranchise eg, they already had a pretty stacked like up and as a person who was actually a fan of how they played the team just seemed way too inconsistent with midrounding and relied so heavily on post plants. The addition of Ethan and demon1 inflated the perception of boostios abilities and probably potters too tbh. We'll have to see but I'm not exactly very impressed with how boostio is doing so far in 100T, he doesn't seem to have very huge impact on the midround if anything the intense fragging potential of 100t rn is only finally being tapped into now that they have a solid igl
kapteN [#15]Imagine not mentioning boaster.

Boaster doesn't perform under pressure tho. He also has an over reliance on protocols/setups and it's shown in previous fnc iterations. The amount of fragging he's also had access too for all his time in valorant is a huge part as to why he's seen as such a good igl.
Fns is honestly very similar I mean look at how absolutely dismantled he was by blg and how he just couldn't find a way to completely switch up the way the team played to accommodate for that.
In all seriousness I don't think the actual best igl is in saadhak boaster or fns, I think its probably in some lesser team that doesn't have insane fragging players but still competes. Off the top of my head I'd immediately say some EU team like maybe atakaptan since he looks like he keeps such a good leash on every player on FUT and brought once mediocre players into real tier 1 contention.
Well never know tho tbf

Nah I'd say stax is very clearly horrendous at adapting and anti, he's shown time and time again to fail when it comes to adapting to teams like optic who change up the moment they lose a round, he's very similar to angel, they just don't have enough ideas and maybe it's cause they don't have access to good second callers like fns and boaster do
Realistically, it's still Boostio. He's the most recent championship IGL. You can't look at his performance (which was not even bad) from an event with no impact on VCT. The reality is 100T likely didn't go very deep into the strategy pool (which was basic anyway boostio and ziks just got there). Why would they show their cards? 100T gained useful LAN experience with Boostio at this event and I think that was the goal. Stop overreacting.

Nah vanity is absolutely horrendous, he fucking failed when he had 2 of THE BEST flex players in the game at the time against a team who have some of the messiest calling in valorant history (Team Liquid)

I just can't agree with this take simply because he could never make anything out of pre franchise eg who had so much potential yet always were so inconsistent game after game. Boostio had the players to be top 3 or 4 in NA but could never make anything out of it till he got Ethan and then demon1
i mean top three undisputed are saadhak fns and boaster, considering their results and just how they call in general. they all have different styles of calling that can make or break a game, so it's incredibly hard to judge based solely on igl skill considering you would have to know what they're trying to call and know what's going on in their minds
Ballsamolee [#5]id say boostio > fns. he is literally fns who can actually aim
just because he can aim = better?
fns IGL is 100% better
Kirya [#31]saadhak was nothing without aspas(look at 2021,2020)

I'm talking about world-class level top 3 in masters/champs events. Idc if he dominated Brazil, nobody is saying Stax is the best IGL in the world even though they consistently outshine all the Korean teams. Saadhak's Vikings used very outdated comps and simply did not have the structure Saadhak needed to succeed.

he almost beat prime gambit in champs

tbf xeppa had such a bad series that game and honestly wasn't his usual self which sucks. I still think an IGL is only just as good as their duelists/team. Shahz was the greatest IGL when he had the best core 5 at the time, same with Redgar. This year will prove if Saadhak is a good IGL or if he just had the perfect pieces and everything worked in harmony.
Kirya [#45]he almost beat prime gambit in champs
keyword: "almost". Fnatic almost beat Sentinels in the first masters as well(all games were OT) same with Envy against Gambit.
destroylonely [#2]chadhaak no question
choked an 11-3 lead to win a trophy. no chance he is the best

envy didnt almost beat gambit what
they got 3-0ed and lost the map that gambit didnt prep at all and got fucked up on split(they started on ct too)
saadhak on the other hand choked a lead in decider map and lost in ot with mid team too
Sir_Johnny123 [#48]choked an 11-3 lead to win a trophy. no chance he is the best
11 year old player on the team. nt brit

Bronzillian using the same old excuse. nt

Close games OT, saying Gambit didn't prep at all is answering for them. Saadhak only started popping off toward the end of the year even still but even then was not enough to say Saadhak was a top igl in 2021.

truly an unbelievable take
