for boaster. 🥱😹😹😹
Boaster is fine. He does his job fine even if his fragging is weak. Its just having him being inconsistent and bad individually most of the time and then having Enzo and Mistic who are also inconsistent is just really bad thing. They brought Alfajer in for firepower, but I don't think that is enough.
yeah their half shields buys threw them rounds and their pistols aren't the best but Enzo going -18 no matter how big of a role player he is and Mistic going -9 on last map and way overperformed on Bind compared to his average while Boaster the IGL goes -20 just isn't enough. Compared to Derke +18 and Alfajer +5 even with weaker first map. Obviously you can't put everything on stats because of different roles and such, but Fnatic feel really similar to XSET right now where its just Cryo and Zekken while other 3 put up bad performances consistently.
Like look at teams like OpTic having Yay, Marved and crashies who are all good individually even if Victor (hard entry so understandable kinda) and FNS didn't perform as well. FPX with Shao, Suygetsu, Ardiis and Zyppan at times. PRX with Jingg, Forsaken, Mindfreak etc. 3 out of Fnatic's 5 just aren't that good individually or at least not consistently.
Was he tho? I was pretty disappointed of his performance during Copenhagen. He kept Fnatic in the tournament due to clutches on Bind, but outside of that he didn't perform to my expectations. In EMEA he was cold and good at anchoring and clutch situation while having arguably 2nd best Fade util at time (behind Shao). But on LAN he has looked pretty shaky most of time and a lot of times he seems to be pretty unaware of what is happening around him Easy to say as spectator. And even his utility has felt weaker. Reminds me a lot of him during Reykjavik even if he was a sub. Just really shaky and tunnel vision at times.
nah man, there is such a shortage of t1 igls in this game and boaster fills that gap. even if he's not a fragger you've got to give him credit for his igl abilities. fnatic were probably frothing trying to get him to sign a longer contract, teams without a good igl are bound to fail in a game like this. stats today were kinda abysmal though i cant lie
