Why boater is best igl in EMEA

#1

BattleCry

Diffrance is there, as we saw angel1 calls were shit. Redgar is just bot.
Fnc is lucky to have boaster, both Navi and TL had cracked players like fnc.
It's IGL who made the diff.

listen i like the players of navi and tl as much as the next guy but you cannot sit there and tell me that TL, NAVI and FNC are equally cracked

Fnc quality of players is not as far apart as you think from navi and tl, if tl had boaster instead of redgar they'd win this

Yea cause they're playing like a team, they are structured and they have good calls, if navi or tl had boaster as igl they'd still be here and the player ratings would be better

FNC not only have a great IGL but still have better individuals, Alfa Derke Leo are insane you can't find 3 better individuals on another team

I know they are better individuals but the gap is not that big, if ange1 or redgar were the igl instead of boaster fnc wouldnt have the same level of sucess, boaster gets underestimated way too much

I mean chronicle is a great player but the rest are good but would not be as good if they didn't have boaster as an igl. Even yay on optic was named the best player in the world when he was just set up very nicely and had good aim and some game sense to get the job done correctly. Yay was on disguised a tier 2 team who do not know how to set yay up properly which is why yay has very bad numbers and has a 1 rating score on jett in tier 2. If fnc had redgar as igl the players would not frag as much. If you watch fnatic play lots of the aim duels are in their favour bc of the positioning, timing or distance.

True Boaster is doing good with skilled players around him, while redgar is just a degen

If anything I think Boaster is the best individual player out of them outside of ANGE1's aim at times. ANGE1 and Redgar both do so many bad individual plays while Boaster always plays pretty smart, safe and has good utility. He doesnt make similar braindead plays.

Angel is a very good IGL, he just overcooks a lot with comps etc

Boaster is a top tier igl when it comes to game prep. He was always behind the likes of FNS and Saadhak in midrounding though. Looks like he's closed that gap.
However, attributing this team to boaster alone is silly. All players are top 5 in their role, so even when boaster has a bad call, they still usually win due to the shear talent of the roster.

bro.. im sorry but environmental factors, richness of countries, better fed in childhood causes better and quick thinking... slavic or turkish players are great for fire power but western europeans should take the igl role. im not kidding when na beats eu always the igl diff

But so far 2 igls got absolutely diffed from America by boaster both fns and stellar while redgar 3-0ed envy who were the same as the optic core and guild with koldementa as the igl beat optic 2-0 and boaster didn’t just diff them he absolutely mentally crushed them look at what nrg was doing towards the end of bind they couldn’t think straight and 100thieves didn’t qualify because baoater mentally broke them they went from being great in scrappy situations and winning every close map to losing 2 close maps to sentinels and 1 to cloud9 before they became the cloud9 we know them as you can’t say america has better igls when fns who I know is Canadian but you Americas act like he is American is your best igl, your second best igl is marved who is also Canadian Canada has great igls while other than maybe runi, boostio and maybe ayrin all the American igls get diffed by most of the top eu igls
