If you could start a tier 1 team with one player

Who would it be and why? Me: Shao because he's the best in the world. Can play controller/initiator at an elite level and was nasty on Jett when he played it. On top of that the most clutch player itw

I think support cores are most important:
Leo, Zekken, Sadhaak, Cauanzin, Sacy, Mazino, Mako, shao are all great choices.
I think rb or crashies are my go tos.

Fns. In my opinion, he would have the experience and leadership to help build and lead a team to a title.

Yeh good point. Seeing what Saadhak has done with the new LOUD also deserves a shoutout

Yea. Im personally a big nrg fan so I have bias towards fns but saadhak is also an incredible choice because of what he has done with loud twice

Kingg and sadhaak would actually be so insane of a pickup on a new team. Fragging IGLs that can play 5 or more agents to an extremely good level.

First Mortadelo L i've seen sadly. Saadhak and FNS have built players up from zero meanwhile Boaster needed a superteam to win. Still love Boaster but FNS and Saadhak gotta be the 2 best IGLs imo

Mini would be the best coach to start. Maybe mCe can rival his talent for scouting and developing talent. Boaster needed high level players because he often overcomplicated rounds, and having really good players allowed him to win an event.

FNS went -31 and literally lost NRG the MIBR game...

idk if his brain can compensate for that aim ngl

Mortadelo

See it the opposite way. Boaster has had around 8 players without counting this year additions. Out of those 8, only Derke and Alfajer are currently franchised. FNC has NEVER had nearly as much talent as most other Tier 1 teams, they have always shined as a whole and for being ahead of the meta. They have managed to qualify to all events but one and made it out of playoffs every single time(but that visa issues one) with many great runs. Currently unbeaten during the regular season of the VCT 3 splits they have played. (Also Boaster is usually really high stat wise compared to most other IGL's in international events)

Now the first time he has the talent on his team he delivers what was expected from him and keeps reinventing Valorant. He is by far the most in form IGL in the world

No i understand as i rate Boaster very high. My point was that Saadhak and FNS pretty much built the teams from scratch meanwhile Boaster had a superteam built for him. Boaster got the best setplays and is the most innovative still imo

How did Saadhack build his team from scratch? Him and Sacy started the project, sure they trusted Pancada and aspas would be good but they were already known on the scene as demons. Onur scouted Less

Yes you could say FNS built from scratch and I would buy that
But then Boaster has built from scratch his entire career too, Derke and Alfajer were known as great players but not tier 1 when picked up. He was not given anything

Having a player who can play any role allows for more flexibility when building a roster
