redgar's calling was not that good, the reason gambit attack was decent was mainly because of nats lurks

Nah Redgar's calling was really good, Look at Marved he also got so much value out of his lurks during 2022 because FNS set him up well with his strats and Regdar did the same

its almost like he lost his entire team and had to swap to a non-russian speaking team... (plus chokequid was decent at best that year and don't even get me started on giantx basically all of that team are throwers)

"My favorite on Ascent was round 17 where XMS has an OP they don't even have nivera oping they have XMS oping and he smokes himself off and he uses both smokes at the beginning of these rounds every time so he doesn't have them for the mid-rounding he smokes himself and then scream misses his molly over the top of cat and redgar gets distracted by how badly it missed" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

he was not an extremely caller he was just getting carried by some of the best players of the year. Put some mid IGL on that team and mostly all the same outcomes would come out of it

Nah he was a true leader for Fnatic since day 1 they wouldn’t have won a trophy without him the only igls that were as good was saadhak and fns

leader sure but put any other mediocre IGL on that team and the same outcomes would happen especially since mini would still be the coach and Leo, Chronicle, Derke, or Alfajer would just drop +20 on a series

the fact that they kept him that long with 0 results and only when he has the avengers on his team all at their peak forms (could argue for chronicle), then proceeds to fall off a cliff after tokyo should show why hes not top 5 igls

Fraudnatic fan spotted ofc getting rattled up when your team is offended. First of all you can literally see their games someone always will get +10-20 in a series that wins them the series and if that doesn’t happen they lose look at their most recent games kekw. B0tser was getting carried this year and last year only reason they won anything LOLL.

Ok cool I don’t really care if they win a tournament or not their playstyle is way more entertaining than fraudnatic. Talk to me once fraudnatic make another lan the downfall of fraudnatic really needs to be studied. I think LOUD did a number on y’all. B0ster can keep crying with that 0% headshot bro got carried by his team while doing terrible lmao

how am I biased? your the one talking with that fnatic flair defending your team LOLLLL talk about bias. Plus boostio didn't get carried by his team he and everyone else on his team were doing amazing which led to them winning unlike fraudnatic where they would rely on one person to carry the series. Look at the EG vs fraudnatic upper finals at Tokyo fraudnatic would have lost if it wasn't for Leo carrying that series

MrFalin is heavily underrated. I've never once seen him in discussions of being a top IGL. His midroundings and calling the reason they're literally winning without an initiator on lotus.

(allat warning ig) boaster should be here in my (obviously biased, but trying to be objective) opinion, you can argue his calling isn't as good as others, but the igl has to be an emotional leader and has a share in creating strats and anti-stratting, leo's described boaster as a completely different person on stage, and being able to carry the teams mental when they're down and it shows, fnatic last year were ahead of the curve when it came to comps and strats alongside loud, the most obvious example being lotus. You also can't argue that the whole comp and anti-stratting was done by mini, as he himself has said most of that is boasters doing, and mini acted more so as an objective second pair of eyes
