FNC fake troll win 13-11 or 14-12
Nah, that is such a bad take. While FNC have been looking rough, it's not specifically on Boaster or Elmapuddy. You're forgetting that this is still the team that managed to hold out in so many hardcore matches, a team that managed to pull one of the most insane comebacks against one of the most insane teams. Having an adjustment period with a new coach is normal, and FNC basically has to go through a whole stratbook rebuild to keep up to date. Besides, when you're stressed out as an IGL, your focus goes everywhere else but on aim duels - they are a big part, yes, but in Valorant keeping your team in sync goes over getting your 30 frags. You've got different people to do that. Shit just happens and FNC needs time.
That is a fair enough point, and to be honest it's something I also reached in my thoughts when I gave a bit more time. Maybe I should've extended my original post but I felt like I was talking too much LOL But I have a feeling that what FNC is going through is precisely what you're mentioning here. Catching up to the meta, rebuilding the whole thing from the ground up, which is what I meant when I said they need time. But so far they haven't really shown that they're fast enough, which pains me as a fan since the start, so I hope the boys can pull themselves back up. I haven't analysed them enough to know what exactly they should catch up on, but overall I get the idea.
