@FanaticFnaticFan• 06/23/2025Loading...I don't think such a harsh criticism of Boaster or the team is fair. First of all, according to Boaster's recent Insta story, it appears that he was sick today. He's human. People get sick and they make mistakes. That doesn't mean he's a bad player (he's better than all of us in this thread, that's for sure) and it doesn't mean he doesn't add incredible value to the team. His team clearly believes in and supports him. If you were watching the game carefully, you would've noticed that the rest of the team was aware that he was sick and trying to support him as best they could, especially between rounds and during pauses. Because that's what this team is about, supporting each other through thick and thin.
Second, I agree with the comments that this team and our experience as fans wouldn't be as incredibly fantastic as it is without Boaster. He is the best IGL out there, no question. He works incredibly hard. If you've been following this team even within the past year, you'll see that his progress as an individual player and a leader has been exceptional. There is no way he's walking away from this match and just shrugging it off. He will work so hard on his own, with the coaches and with the team to keep up the momentum they've built, building strats and fostering the team's already great synergy.
Finally, Boaster is undoubtedly the heart of this team. I was fortunate enough to see FNC play live four times at Masters Toronto and after every match Boaster spent as much time as he possibly could at every moment he possibly could connecting with his and the team's fans. I observed that he was so generous with his time, so considerate of others and so grateful for the support of the fans, which is undeniably a huge part of the appeal of this team. There are many teams with players that are great at clicking heads, but none of them have the heart of FNC.
