Botster

Can someone PLEASE explain why VLR acts like Boaster is some kind of Valorant genius? His IGL ability is absolute trash, every time Fnatic hits a rough patch, it’s because his calls are clueless and predictable. The guy’s ‘strategies’ are so basic it’s like he’s coaching a silver team, not a top-tier roster. Meanwhile, everyone acts like he’s this tactical mastermind, but in reality, he’s holding Fnatic back from actually winning big. If you think Boaster’s leading Fnatic to success, you’re just blind hype fodder riding a personality cult. Trash IGL, overrated player, and a massive liability in high-pressure matches.

-1/8

Alfa has won them like 9 rounds this game lol

He's their waterboy

0/8 buddy

flair

0/8 not even close to 1

Your team pays Saadhak a salary in 2025

what would he be without alfagod

this take is so ass it isn't even ragebait

Yinsu ban incoming

he is a superteam merchant, put him to play with non-top10playersofalltime and lets see what happens

I think you’re seriously underestimating what Boaster actually brings to Fnatic and why so many in the scene — including pros, analysts, and coaches — rate him highly as an IGL.

First, Valorant IGLing isn’t just about mid-round calls — it’s about the entire system you set up before the game even starts. Boaster has been a key architect in Fnatic’s playbook for years, building deep, layered strategies that allow his team to adapt across metas. Fnatic didn’t become one of the most consistently dangerous international rosters by accident; their prep, utility protocols, and site exec variations are among the most studied in the pro scene.
Second, his adaptability is proven. Fnatic has shifted styles multiple times — from heavy default setups, to fast-hitting executes, to more lurk-heavy and reactive play — and Boaster has made those transitions work. That’s not “silver strats,” that’s keeping pace with a constantly evolving pro meta.
Third, intangibles matter. At the top level, maintaining mental resilience, team cohesion, and clear comms under pressure is as valuable as any flashy frag. Boaster’s energy and leadership keep Fnatic from tilting in tough series, and that’s exactly why they’ve been able to recover from bad maps and win big titles — including international trophies.
If Boaster were truly “holding Fnatic back,” you wouldn’t see them consistently at the top of EU, winning Masters, and making deep international runs. A “trash IGL” simply can’t sustain that level of success in a game this competitive.
If you want, I can break down a few actual Fnatic matches to show how Boaster’s calling has directly won them rounds and series. That might make the difference between the hype you’re seeing and the reality of his skill.

Flair aware who can’t event make it to champs

This is a reminder that Fnatic has had a problem of playing too slow and executing in the last seconds of the round for 3 YEARS now

But when you play with teammates who just aim diff everyone to cover it up you become a great IGL

At least the calling on bind was decent right guys ('hey alfa go for 30')
