ok kaajak is a snake and left his ascension teammates we get it but why..
derke started the year poor but as usual was one of the most consistent top 15-20 players itw for most the year..
absolute shithousery from that team ur telling me saadhak was willing to move to EU and fnc aren't the ones allover him?
I'd understand keeping derke and signing kaajak to replace boaster but its such a side grade to replace derke with a unproven duelist who is AT BEST derke level lol
CanadaMan [#2]umm fnatic have boaster as their IGL already why would they go for saadhak?
"i have a 2002 broken down toyota why would i want a rolls royce"

you're saying this as if saadhak wouldn't be a huge improvement over boaster...
jett_main [#4]you're saying this as if saadhak wouldn't be a huge improvement over boaster...
why would fnatic snake Boaster after everything?
Well said. Genuinely think they saw the Heretics success and thought they had to go get budding talent in a sort of FOMO frenzy. Replacing Boaster would be a better move competitively, but I get why they don't want to do that, considering he is like their whole brand. We'll see what they're trying to cook, but they are moving very odd.
kaajak is not a snake at all
from his POV:
the most successful EU team of all time, with 4 of their members from one of the best teams ever decided they wanted to drop their star duelist, and they wanted HIM. Do you even understand how fucking crazy it is when FNATIC asks for you? When FNATIC knocks, it's a different kind of knock, one with insane money, promise of success, and legit chances to win international events.
Anyone calling him a snake or a rat is out of their damn mind if they wouldn't do the exact same thing in his position
gamergirl [#3]"i have a 2002 broken down toyota why would i want a rolls royce"
calling saadhak rolls royce after he failed so bad on loud without aspas is so funny to me, he's top 3 igls for sure, but lets not act like he's any more superior than boaster

trent had more hype and more/better offers since franchising started and he stuck around for his team.Also the point isn't about kaajak, he is an objective snake there's no argument there, it's just about why fnatic ditched derke for someone who isn't going to be massively better.
he left his teammates who carried him until the last map in a grand final, you can justify it, but it's still rat behavior
him being a logical rat doesn't mean apeks won't finish dead last in EMEA without him

exactly lol. saadhak had a great year in 2022 boaster didn’t, saadhak had a bad year in 2024 boaster had a good year. both are great igls but there’s no point in fnatic saadhak if boaster is on the team

he is far superior to boaster lol
boaster was GIFTED the core he has alfa is the only player that came to FNC and got better, leo and chronicle were world class when they joined and derke is the most consistent duelist since 2020. Saadhak and sacy made less aspas pancada from low t1-t2 BR teams, and then caun and tuyz.
LOUD failing is an org failure, if you gave saadhak the talent boaster has he'd never had done that poorly
catNmouse [#11]exactly lol. saadhak had a great year in 2022 boaster didn’t, saadhak had a bad year in 2024 boaster had a good year. both are great igls but there’s no point in fnatic saadhak if boaster is on the team
exactly, like there are so less decent igls, why would fnatic get rid of the one of the best

How you know he’s not going to be better he hasn’t played yet shut up
Rocky54 [#14]How you know he’s not going to be better he hasn’t played yet shut up
keiko was just as good in t2, he just didn't have as good of a supporting cast and look at what he did in T1, he's good but he's not derke
complete side-grade at best and most likely a down-grade
when players change its not always about the team trying to get an upgrade in skill or aiming or even experience. sometimes its about the player wanting to make a change or the team feels like there needs to be a change to improve team work if some players don't work well together for whatever reason.
So, I agree it may not make sense but we clearly don't see a lot of what's going on with the team it's self.

gifted? derke was on fnatic since the start, alfa grew at fnatic, only leo and chron were star players while joining fnatic
sacy was in prime form at champs, including pancada and aspas.
boaster did much better than saadhak in 2023 aswell as 2024 (both of the teams had issues within themselves)

saadhak outcalled boaster everytime they played in 2023, boaster just has 4 top 10 players on his team, 2024 was a less down year and LOUD replaced aspas with QCK, unless you think thats saadhaks fault
boaster was good in 2023, you're right, but he's a lot worse now and a far bigger detriment than derke is. He wasn't a good IGL this entire year, if you watch valorant and judge IGLs based off of midrounding instead of results that other players earn you'd probably see it, FNC won off of talent not calling lol, out called all of champs and was putting up kitten numbers

thats the most delusional shit i've ever heard (actual analysts have called fnatic's midrounding good, but yeah sure i should listen to a keyboard warrior)
