couldnt agree more, what Demon1 is facing is hell, you can clearly see it in his streams with how sad he looks and how he lost passion for the game, Boaster has it good, if he cant handle losing and being rightfully critized and even hated on then I am jealous because it tells me he hasnt really experienced true pain like some of us

I think he is crying because he knows what a disaster of a performance that was from him individually, as a leader and as a caller, doesnt seem to be able to handle criticism and hate well from what I have seen, seems like a very emotional guy and I remember him crying in a vlog from an old Fnatic bootcamp when they were doing badly, seems like a genuine nice and chill guy but these high pressure enviorements are not for him, to make it here you need to be broken inside, there is a reason why most top footballers have some sort of emotional trauma or have had a difficult life, he seems like he hasnt had many difficulties in life and he is very well protected by those around him, he is just too innocent for competition, you simply need to be an emotionless bastard that is broken inside and only thinks about destroying the competition to survive

Getting personal and just hating for the sake of it isnt okay but calling him not good enough and asking for him to get dropped IS NOT hate, this is a competitive valorant forum and its only point is users giving their opinion on different topics. Also pretty pathetics that Boaster fangirls are using ad hominems to defend him since they deep inside know it has gotten to the point that he cant be defended anymore from a rational POV and only reason to defend him is based on emotions.
Also saying that its not right to critize his performance and ask for him to get cut because of job stability is dumb, this is a performance sport and getting paid thousands every month to play a videogame at the highest level is a priviledge, if u arent performing and u keep your job regardless u are destroying the chances of more deserving upcoming talent who are working hard in t2 to make it.
Lets just stop pretending Boaster cant be criticized because he is the darling of the valorant community and his girlfriend gets mad that a sportsman is demanded to perform or get cut so someone else who can perform gets the opportunity, time comes for everyone and doesnt forgive, only reason to defend him both individually and from a calling POV is emotional and u having some sort of friendship/relationship/being his fan.
I get not wanting esports to be like traditional sports where players get too much irrational hate but we must not confuse legitimate criticism even if harsh with hate, also wanting to stop famous people from receiving hate is literally impossible, if you cant handle criticism from idiots with an average rank of gold in forums or social media then highly competitive enviorements like this might not be for you, irrational hate IS NOT okay but using the trick of calling everything hate so you can never get critized like Yinsu does every time someone critizes Boaster isnt either, if u wanna live in your fantasy world where you get thousands to perform and you face no consequences if u fail to then that shit only happens in your dreams

u just misunderstood me, I am not angry or anything, just wanted to make sure to let u know I wont reply anymore since I dont think you know what you are talking about which I forgot saying in the first comment, just so u dont expect a response back if u reply

nice, good luck in the final today

wont waste my time teaching valorant to someone who has no deep knowledgeable about it and just wants to defend his idol

just drop him lol, its not like he owns fnatic or anything, and his strats arent good, fnatic havent been good tactically for years and his calling has never been good, idc about comps, talking about comps is irrelevant since u can make almost any comp work and its about how u implement it

remember how shit fnatic was at champs? they started losing around the time mini left but its a coincidence more than anything, thats just lazy analysis blaming it all on a coach change when its boaster who has always had the responsability in the team, losing mini is def not the cause for this fall off, its just that the effect of what the problem really is started to show up around the same time he left

cned and city fan, bro didnt make the right choices in life

better to retire early than drag yourself on the server stealing paychecks, Kroos the goat for this

Milanisti show up

Boaster, british and very npc friendly so those npcs will defend him like crazy even if he proves he isnt good enough, they will always make excuses for him and blame it on elmapuddy/hate/mental

what has Elmapuddy even done to get all this hate? fnatic was already shit at champs and the IGL has 10 times more impact than the coach specially since its Boaster who has full authority in the team and not Elmapuddy, only case a coach is more important is KC, Boaster is just not good enough, some might not like it but its the truth

what a retarded take

he is just not good enough regardless of mental

it might work, its a gamble tbf and honeymoon periods are real, I have lost all trust on Boaster and see 0 chance of Fnatic winning champs, with this roster its a must to compete for champs, top4 isnt good enough, if u make rosters changes now u get some exp ahead of next year and who knows, maybe the gamble actually works out, chronicle igl so its easier to integrate the new player maybe?

only as raze tbf, I dont trust Derke to become a good smoker so I would just leave things as they are

they won because they have 4 monsters and heretics threw a 2-0 lead in grandfinals while FNC was dogshit for the whole season, its not a matter of results either, its just that its clear to anyone with a pair of eyes that its time to go for him and with this superteam winning or getting close is a must, losing to fut and looking bad the whole year is not acceptable

fnatic was already shit at champs even without elma, they should get rid of elma but he isnt the main problem specially since this is not league of legends, in tac fps the IGL counts way more than any coach, specially since its well known that Boaster is the main man in this team unlike Enghh in KC, one of the reasons fnatic is bad now is that the level is just higher, his style is no longer effective and u just need someone who can frag, he is just not even remotely close to being good enough individually and he has never been a good caller, just great innovating and hard worker but that doesnt work anymore

I hate his ass purely from an IGL POV, nothing personal tho but its sad to see players drag themselves on the server like this when their time is up

he won 2, was always innovative and always dominated emea, will be remember as one of the great igls of early valorant but its simply time to go, even last year u could have made a case for him not being that good of an igl and needing to go but at least they just had the firepower to stomp everybody, now its not enough

nah, its just that boaster has always been about hard work + innovation instead of good calling, his calling has always been pretty mid without much adaptation until last year, there isnt much innovation in valorant rn since u cant come up with whole different ways of playing maps like before which is what made Boaster good so his style isnt effective anymore, also the firepower of teams has increased a lot, Boaster is easily the worst individual player in Shanghai and wouldnt even be t3 level if not for his IGLing, its 2024 and u simply need a fragging igl, just look at every top team rn

derke is inconsistent but he is still good, I dont see him playing smokes either, boaster has never been a good caller but compensated with his hard work and creativity when it comes to innovating, you might be onto something with chronicle becoming the igl ngl

0 chemistry in that team I think, might be another leviatan even if you have better players, kingg would be interesting with bonkar as the coach, idk if he is a good igl but he has great firepower and some exp, will only improve under bonkar too

0/8

this heretics is fun, they have benjy who would be cool to see him lift his first trophy

I have never liked him as an IGL but its sad to see this and how defeated he looked this whole year, its important to recognize when your time as a player is up and retire, Boaster its your time to teach the new generation and get a new team to the top, new challenge as a coach and having new stimuli to build a team into a powerhouse can be good for you

fnatic would be unstoppable if that happened but idk if boostio personality would be good in fnatic but if thats not a problem fnatic will cook, problem is I dont see those playing smokes but I guess they can switch their roles to make it work or put chronicle on smokes?

u need really good english to be an igl, u need to be able to make others understand your ideas, if u are alfajer then its fine is ur english isnt as good but as an igl u need better english, also calling in a language that you are not used to takes time even if you can speak it

thats a bit of an exaggeration, there are some good players in DACH, Iluri seems like a promising IGL too

he has decent firepower but not insane firepower like Boostio or Munchkin, musashi is the IGL now for acend even if he doesnt play smokes, if he has any potential as IGL I would get him, insane firepower for an IGL but ofc hard to tell how good an IGL is from the outside and they just need to trial lots of players, even established players who arent currently IGLs but are looking to become IGLs

d00m is not decent, he is terrible, if u want a new coach then u go and get bonkar or try to get washed t2 igls like Bati to become coaches, d00mbros is a paycheck stealer that somehow got into the first FPX when partyparrots and fabriken merged and he has been stealing money ever since like most coaches and igls in emea nowadays, IGL is more important than the coach tho, if Fnatic is serious about winning they get bonkar who is showing great results in NA and already knows Leo + try to get some fragging igl with potential from t2, I dont trust d00mbros to develop a fragging igl into a good caller but I 100% trust bonkar, he is an amazing talent developer and with all his experience as an IGL he would be able to give a direction to the team while he develops the new IGL

kinda yeah, mrfalin has acceptable firepower but he is no boostio, munchkin, saadak or boo

d00mbros not good, stax bad IGL and cant speak english

thats valorant for u, small maps, OP utility and its really hard to stop site hits if util is good, if u wanna win on attack u need good site hits in 4-1 or just 5 man, if u wanna win on defence u need good gambles or insane retakes

trial qpert, musashi or some other igl with decent firepower, no established fragging igls in EMEA outside of Boo so u gotta gamble and try to develop someone from t2

hopefully, boaster terrible caller, cant frag and we all saw how he is not leader material in that stage1, unacceptable the attitude he showed as a captain + totally outdated style that fnatic plays, time to switch to something similar to what heretics or other top teams do by playing mostly 4-1 and bit more fast paced

sliggy and d00mbros are terrible coaches, both paycheck stealers, if u want a good coach just get bonkar or get someone like SK bati to transition into coaching since his career is over anyway

never rated him as an igl even if he improved last year but regardless its time to transition into coaching buddy, hardworker and good vibes but no tactical mastermind, terrible mid round caller and hasnt fixed fnatic playing too passive in defence for years, he knows he is dogshit individually so he never takes any risks individually and that inferiority complex seems to translate into how he views the game and wants him team to play, also you need an igl who can frag in 2024, he is easily the worst player in vct together with wailers, you had a good career but its time to go buddy, leave with honour before you become a meme

obviously wailers, he is a BOT

KOI and Gentlemates

it has always been like this, bunch of pussies playing scared, even teams like KOI who have amazing players to play a fast style that is fun to watch have this Barbar and Shadow paycheck stealers making them play like NaVi cs

they would cook but they have such a nice team at heretics, its basically a superteam that will compete for international trophies in the future and they wouldnt have to build a new team from scratch, they also seem to get along really well so I dont think they would do that

kaajak full bot farming in fraudulent region

trash igls and coaches, these players are better individually yet our teams all play with such passiveness and scared, only exception maybe heretics, I hope there are some good IGLs and coaches in t2 or we will never be consistently on top again even if we have the players for it

I live rent free in babysasuke head so that makes me 2nd and him 3rd

I have a better solution, move Boaster to coach and scout a decent fragging igl with potential to learn under him, leo can help with calling in the server

disband BBL and give it to Spirit, at least FUT have built a decent turkish team

fut fix: l2p

I think KC are still good, they arent in insane form anymore but I think they will be on good form for split2, VIT were just bad since the start, overall I still think EMEA has the best top6
