I do not condone any death threats to anyone!
People have been hating on boaster severely for his performance against FUT. Now, I am going to put out the claim that Boaster was not the sole reason that they lost, and they did just get "team diffed" as one would say.
However, those defending Boaster here are a little bit delusional.
We are in the year of 2024! IGLs that have horrible mechanics but can "make up for it with strats" is an outdated idea. This only really works if your team is just much much better than the competition. You can see this idea proven by looking at the last two grand finals. EG had Boostio as their IGL who strategically isn't as great as some of the other IGLs, but makes up for it with the confidence he instills, as well as team chemistry and his overall mechanics. PRX is an odd case since they don't have a traditional IGL, but the point still stands of them not having a mechanical weak point.
SEN vs GenG is where it gets more interesting for me, and the entirety of the Madrid playoffs as well. The top 4, consisting of SEN, LOUD, GenG, and PRX all had some sort of mechanically inclined IGL. JohnQT, Saadhak, Munchkin and PRX (kekw).
These IGLS can not only midround well but also are mechanically up to par with the rest of their team.
Even looking at Shanghai right now, the roster of IGLs having Boo, Munchkin, Boostio, MrFalin, Valyn, K1ngg, and even BerLIN is a pretty stacked roster for IGLs.
I'm not saying all of these IGLs are "good" because they can shoot back. It is actually a big misconception IMO that these IGLs are "good" because they get high ACS. However, the point is unless you are some sort of super brain like Prime FNS or even Boaster back in his prime, it is unacceptable to be putting up such horrific stats.
Also about boaster, to contextualize his performance recently he has gone negative in every series fnatic has played since april 17th (against gentlemates). you'd think the apparent #1 IGL in EMEA judged by placements would be shooting a little bit better.
We have also seen recently that some plays on Fnatic such as Chronicle and Derke have not been playing as well as they did before, which excuses Boaster even less since he can't just rely on the mechanics of his team.
You will see later this year at champs, and especially next year that the best teams will always be the ones where their IGL can both strategize and call, not just be able to call.
TLDR: IGLs need to be able to shoot now that competition is harder, and Boaster should not be excused (do not send death threats though)
