he gets a lick of consistency from that 100t team and suddenly he thinks playing like a dog again will work just because it did when EG peaked. Cryo isn’t Demon1, what a shock. Asuna although pulled himself together the past few months, does not have a peak like Jawgemo. It’s the little things that are exposing him. Usually someone on EG will step up in every series where Boostio shits the bed, but that guarantee doesn’t exist anymore.

Qyllic [#2]can't blame boostio, he's getting his 401k
maybe he spends it on some ping pong stuff, I heard he’s into that
WhoseTao [#4]I dont think its that boostio is exactly a bad igl, but he definitely relies on his players out gunning often, and he is not finding them with 100t
pretty much, a lot of his calls are good but they only work with a championship-level team that can shoot. He’s too aggressive and doesn’t yet understand when to calm his calls to fit his team’s current stride. EG made him like that since they were rarely getting outaimed in their run. Fucking C0M was going band 4 band with Less like can you blame him?

Its all about players taking fighting in ways where they can guarantee a win, c0m was never mechanically equal to Less, but he took fights in ways that favored him. Right now, I dont see the 100t players trying to make fights easier for them, instead of going for raw aim duels, and yea that worked during their run because their form was great but unless you are really consistent, it is not a favorable way of playing.
Looking back, that EG was genuinely really good, demon1 as a flex with that aim is ridiculous, jawgemo's consistency and boostio actually being a great gunner himself, ethan also being a good flex with good aim and then c0m being smart with his fights and not exactly bad mechanically. I always thought that FNS with optic's peak did play a similar style, naturally FNS focused on out calling, but in tough situations, yay or marved or victor would consistently be relied on to get 2ks or 3ks in bad spots, and they always did.
pantherfps2023 [#7]Feeling bad for Boostio? He was actually hoping everyone on EG that won champs—Demon1, C0M, and Ethan—would underperform. Plus, he called them pigs.
you were born in 2023?

We have different views of EG because I remember them winning their rounds by just being way more polished with the basics. I don’t remember many crazy calls by EG Boostio compared to OPTC FNS, but I do remember EG taking whatever fights they wanted to while they play around each other like it’s a cheat code. FNC exposed them for it in Tokyo, so they just adapted and polished themselves even further.

No I agree, I dont think boostio and FNS call similarly, I just think at their peak, they did heavily rely on heavy fire power, like demon1 and boostio vs NRG on split where you get the crazy demon1 clip. They only win that 2v4 because of demon1, anyone else and it would have been traded immediately.

I mean every winning team needs to rely on heavy firepower no? Boostio individually just does it more than anyone rn, probably. FNS used to do a shit ton of defaults into slow plays and I don’t think firepower was a priority in those moments. Boostio just isn’t willing to play it slow when things are falling apart and I think he views it as a weakness or some shit.
juju112 [#10]its not him or his team they just look disconnected
fundamentally the team was all really aggro and have a lot of good plays today it looked like they had some ideas but they were more disconnected than ever. MIBR who played 2 days with their roster looked more cohesive.
Lol that one round where they lost the 4v3 retake -
Nobody plays off each other and Cry0C3lls gave the retake potential

Yea I agree, every team needs firepower regardless
juju112 [#11]you were born in 2023?
Born in 2023? Yep, been grinding since day one. Ready to school you in every round, grandpa?
