fnatic half shield meta

do you think the half shield fnatic strat that they've been using where they would just buy half shield constantly even if they had the money to buy a full one is a good thing? I get that yeah if the enemy is using vandal half and full shield doesn't really matter, you would still die from 4 shots on the body, but with the harbor + viper meta where people would just spam the wall using phantoms wouldn't that make half shield strat not viable? surely it's easy for you to get 4 bullets on the body through the smoke with the firerate of a phantom no?

Well Boaster has 4 aimgods so as long as they get into site, they can aim diff almost anyone.

They have improved their tactics.
When the money exceeds about 3,000, they will buy whole shield.

In pro scene a lot of times you die with 1head shot, so makes sense
600 credits saved each round allow the team to play more rounds with Rifles and less ecos.

i remember boaster bought vandal/phantom and had no shield in ot 🗿

They are not using this every round though unlike champs, and it kinda works for now at Lock In, but it won't work against DRX since they are phantom users
