boaster vs lakia

vlr seems to almost unanimously agree that boaster is holding fnatic down and that he should be dropped because his stats are so bad, but for some reason they want lakia to stay.

boaster rating in emea league: 0.935
lakia rating in pacific league: 1.01
champs boaster: 0.82
champs lakia: 0.70

and while everyone clobbered on boaster after his game vs heretics (9 kills), lakia was spared for some reason (9 kills)?

however, note that boaster is the igl for fnatic while lakia is allowed to focus most of his gameplay on shooting.
so which is it? is the boaster hate unjustified or is lakia, a liability as i've been saying?

edit: drop t0rmi please

shanghai playoffs lakia: 1.10
shanghai playoffs boaster: .65

Both are at champs, both are playing for the best teams in their respective regions. Enough said and I am done with these bs comparisons and critics.

Sadly Lakia is the Lakia of valorant and Boaster is an alleged fraud

Both of them are terrible. Anyone trying to convince you that these frauds belong on a franchised team are genuinely braindead

If FNC is EU's best team, that region is seriously in the dumps.
For the record, TH are clearly better than FNC. Fluke losses to Vit in playoffs don't change that

Nothing is a fluke man, alright fnc can be the second best team in emea then. Doesn‘t change the fact that they‘re at champs and both teams have regionally excelled as well

zest for lakia would be a huge upgrade

boasters stats stayed bad so it doesnt matter does it

lakias just good bro, they dont win that trophy with one of your replacements

I said lakia should be dropped immediately after that match. Zest or RB would turn GEN.G into a superteam to dominate for years to come.

He’s an IGL, fragging is not his job

So IGLs aren't supposed to frag. Initiators aren't supposed to frag. What's next? Controllers aren't supposed to frag? That leaves to 2 people on the team to kill 5 people. It's not silver vs radiant it's pro vs pro.

this is the dumbest take ever that even boaster wouldn't agree on
he's not a good fragger but maintaining an abysmal rating in fps game isn't good either and igling is just a cop out

Do k.d instead of rating

LMAO same guy that would definitely be on fns' dick for going double neg

your emea cope is out of this world

kristof [#15]

im looking at it just as a comparison

i never made a post asking for boaster to be dropped cause i struggle to overlook his past successes. all i know is that lakia shouldnt be dropped

All i got from this is that both lakia and boaster a dookie this champs

Lakia is like saadhak, some games he is insane others not

b0tster is bad on ALL games

i challenge you to find a single game where lakia carried the team, win or loss
hell, i challenge you to find a single MAP where lakia carried the team to a win

not by far, most impactful? perhaps. but buzz and mako were both slightly better than him

Boaster will never be the Lakia of valorant
Lakia IS the Lakia of valorant
Don't disrecpect my goat

he's not carrying the team, carrying would be if he's the only one or even the only one of two players who are doing well. that example is just a team diff

i mean just look at botsters aim on this sunset situationin market and tell me how this bot is still on a top team like fnatic dude has to go

I agreed. Lakia is washed up, in terms of fragging tho, his util is still good. But sooner or later geng will realize they need an initiator that good at both things.

Well Boaster is Just straight up garbage. He need to remove himself from pro scene. Be a coach or an analyst. Its better for him. He cant frag, if 1 of the other 4 fnc player have a bad Day, that team is doomed. Nobody really scared of fnc anymore, that should tell u something.

i wouldn’t be surprised if g2 didn’t give fnatic any breathing room to take fights and lose rounds

true, at least for lakia if his aim is trash he can still do a lot of impact as a initiator compared to boaster as a controller

I'd be fine if Lakia gets another shot, but he is by far the worst mechanical player on the team. A lot of people keep saying Zest and he probably would be an upgrade, even if he improves the team by only 10-20% (I think he's being slightly overrated).

Boaster is still an A-tier igl for EMEA and a D tier fragger on a good day,, the problem is that there's not a lot of great igls on the market over there. It should be a Haodong situation where he ends up on the coaching booth, but there's no replacement for him.

lakia is really good mechanically sometimes but he’s so inconsistent, if he improves his consistency he’d be really solid

What about give another chance on tier 1 to avova? Is he not good enough?

honestly I think you deserve to be the in the generational hater hall of fame, you're out there matching old trembo levels of hating
