I agree, having boaster on the other team is a massive buff for anybody playing fnatic

worst team in franchising at the time too

Boaster vs a random immortal 1 player.

No calling, no igling, no looking at minimap, no microing, no more excuses.

damn didn't know Leo only played with Bonkar and Yacine and there was nobody else on the roster

Wait till you hear about a certain swedish player literally famous for never dying first, despite the great variety of situations you encounter playing valorant.

only Aspas and Less are undisputed GOAT of their role, you can't pretend it's someone else.

Pancada, Marved, Karon and Mako are competing for the controller throne.

as are Sacy, C0m and Leo for the Initiator throne.

Word on the street is that his ult stops people from shooting, and that there will eventually be a new shield system with 2 kinds of shields you can buy. I may/may not be a time traveler.

Except that FNS can actually call, he still is the best midrounder in the game's history and it's not very close.

this is an example of boaster's calling (literally the most recent comms vid, there are plenty more examples):

Listen to 5:30 -> 6:11

and compare that to FNS who had once had an enemy team retaking the wrong site.

2021: Big Favorite to win, lets kiles become a world champion. 2nd.
2022: Missing Persons Alert
2023: Overwhelming favorite to win on the 'Astralis' superteam of Val. 4th. Completely shits the bed individually.
2024: Still on a superteam. 5th/6th. High chance of getting grouped in any other group.

He is not a Capra Hircus.

Such a shame Sacy not getting his respect, and might never. The last round we saw him (at the time of writing) is the perfect example why. Perfect fade seize that completely counters Fnatic's only chance for the round - winning the heaven fight, - gifting zekken an ez 2k, winning the round and game.

But people won't remember it because it won't be recorded under ACS, Rating, or +/-. But it will win you championships, something Leo couldn't do because he got gapped twice by Sacy's replacement.

Sacy value inside the server is better too, just doesn't show as much in the stat sheet. The fade seize on the final round vs fnatic won them the round and game, but is not gonna show up on the ACS or Rating.

Sacy - Champion + Masters winner, all time most clutch player, monster on Sova, Skye, and Gekko
Pancada - Best performer on a Champions winning team as a controller

Loud 2022 still has the most stacked roster of all time

Less - Undisputed Senti GOAT
Aspas - Undisputed Duelist GOAT
Sacy - GOAT candidate for Init
Saadhak - GOAT candidate for IGL
Pancada - GOAT Candidate for Controller

Also 100% forsure better than the entire Navi roster lmfao

it's actually the village idiot sentinalmain calling him a matchfixer because he needs someone to scapegoat for Fnatic falling short at champs again

Was NOT the problem. We will not accept any Hiro scapegoating.

• He has guaranteed a spot in franchising with his performance, minus potential nepotism out of orgs next season
• He is probably better than 90% of EMEA franchised players
• He exceeded anything you can fairly expect out of a rookie, especially out of his first LAN
• He ended with a higher rating than Sayf and (as of the time of writing) Benjyfishy
• Fnatic played the best they have the entire year with him in the roster

We will not accept any Hiro scapegoating.

Lets look at arguably the most important round on lotus, the Sacy clutch to give SEN the lead and momentum

https://youtu.be/_yFTXXqP-NY?si=Y-9u40oHAZhFh8ht

3v2 for Fnatic, Johnqt viper ult

• Boaster low HP
• Hiro tagged a little
• Chronicle full hp

Hiro throws an eye that forces john to shoot it, revealing his position, and hiro kills him.

Viper Ult is now down. 3v1 for FNC

Sacy counter eye's that scans Hiro as the ult is falling, gets the trade, not an mistake from hiro, just a great play from sacy, nothing he could do about that and he made the play that put them in the winning position.

Boaster, who is on 1hp and should try to group up with a full hp Chron to bait himself and get the trade decides to just run in and take a fight in an untradeable position and gets put down.

It's now a 1v1, Sacy wins it.

But keep telling me Hiro is the problem. Did everything you can ask and more out of a rookie, Fnatic played the best they have the entire year with him. Ended with a higher rating than benjyfishy and sayf.

Hiro guaranteed a spot in franchising next season because of his performance and Fnatic looked the best they've been all year when he joined.
He's better than 95% of players in EMEA franchising. You just want to scapegoat him to explain why Fnatic fell short at champs again

GMB Nats lurks would get shut down in a swiftplay today

Also Cned is on that list and we know what happened with that...

erm actually you forgot he went +4 against China #4 (BLG), goatster would never do worse than -60 !!!

DO NOT ask about Deadlock

I can name 2 teams that were better than Fnatic when they won Tokyo, but the boaster fangirls just can't accept the obvious 😂😂😂

This is the type of stuff PRX comes up with then wonder why everything falls apart once they get to a high level

Fair enough, sounds like you actually do need a physical copy. Still, if an ebook for a specific version you want exists, and you can find the pdf for free online (very likely), you could just use the pdf and if you ever get in any hot water with somebody you just go ahead and buy the ebook.

unless you absolutely 100% need a physical copy why not just get a pdf and keep it on your computer for personal use? nobody's gonna rat you out that's just paranoia. If you're really that scared just don't tell anyone lmao its not hard. And if it's physics and the old version truly doesn't exist (the site I sent has almost everything), is there a reason you can't just get a more modern version on the same topic?

dread it, run from it, destiny still arrives

thought of another banger and had to make a 2-for-1

Saving strats for Red-Bull Homeground 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

sky, not skye

SICK IS DIABOLICAL LMAOOO

I'll give you another word:

sky

imprisoned (you probably won't get the right one)

mandatory allat but i read it and agree

if saadhak was switched for derke Fnatic doesn't even beat kru

congratulations on alfajer for getting the trades, Less was by far the best senti in the lobby every time. "only 3' is also alot for international matchups. Also consider the following: https://www.vlr.gg/390305/underrated-champs-23-moment

Smacked him in lock-In too
https://www.vlr.gg/167393/loud-vs-fnatic-champions-tour-2023-lock-in-s-o-paulo-gf 1.20 vs 0.97

0/8

Why not just wait like a week and a half to do this where it will be set in stone

what is all this incoherent yapping? i didn't even use the words 'stats' or 'luck'

the reality is FNC have trophies because of boaster and the team

They have one trophy (the worthless one broke on the plane) that they got because the other two best teams at the time (Champs #1 and #2) had visa issues that for their star duelists (Pacific MVP and Future Champs MVP).

Here's a chronological timeline of Fnatic's placements at majors in the franchising era
#1 (visa issues)
----------------------------------------------------
4th (no visa issues)
Missing (no visa issues)
7th/8th (no visa issues)
5th/6th (no visa issues)

Spot the pattern

The champ senti gapped him 3-0

face it prx was never gonna beat fnatic who lost to two teams the entire year

Did a whole write up of why this is isn't true and the evidence suggests the exact opposite, take a look at the PRX portion in particular, it's one only paragraph: https://www.vlr.gg/393738/fnatic-was-never-great TLDR: Everything that happened for the next year suggested that they would have

Wanna know why they only lost to two teams?

barely won preseason tourney (no losses obv) ------>

Dominates bum league (name the 2nd best team in EMEA '23 and what they accomplished) (1 loss to liquid, probably a fluke, liquid was trash)------>

Plays 3 teams at Tokyo, only one of which they were truly better than. PRX would very likely have, and EG forsure would have beaten them if not for visa issues affecting their star players ('0' losses) ------>

Runs into the 3rd best team at champs twice, would have definitely, without any doubt, lost to PRX and EG at this point, had they faced them (2 losses to same team) ------> "wE oNlY lOSt tO tWo TeAmS tHe EnTiRe YeAr"

having a close game with a good team has historically not mattered when scaling how good another team is

The entire basis of scaling is by looking at how teams do against each other. Obviously not perfect, but nothing is in this world. There is literally no other way.

not yet, they were (mostly) anti-cypher sova shocks for ascent and haven (and crazy trips that will counter any lineup) from positions that are much more convenient than most of the common methods that were available at the time (ex: from Ascent A lobby at the start of the round, or from inside A main itself, and from a completely safe position in C lobby for virtually every C trip possible).
For ascent in particular, I specifically developed them to counter a trip that I don't want to talk about much because I don't want it to become super common knowledge yet, but some pro teams have been using (Hint: Suygetsu got a kill from it against gentle mates)

Neither team has faced a cypher on ascent or haven yet, so not yet, but it would feel awesome if they pulled my stuff out.

Believe it or not you can probably just direct dm him on twitter, although right now he's probably so busy he won't see it. I have a burner twitter with no pfp and no followers and during Americas playoffs I dm'd --- and --- some sova lineups (i am a lineup nerd) and got a direct response from --- himself and a --- coach.
