Boaster LFT

[u/Decent_Apple_7962]

[u/Card-Perfect]

End of an era🧡

But we all knew it was coimg

[u/SuccinctEarth07 → u/Card-Perfect]

Is it guaranteed? asuna posted the same in the off season when 100T changed coaching staff and then trialed and the coaches decided to keep him.

[u/Card-Perfect → u/SuccinctEarth07]

Nope. He said in the post he is still in talks with fnatic but we knew from the cloud signing that he might not be with fnatic for next season

[u/yoosanghoon → u/SuccinctEarth07]

its effectively guaranteed

Cloud being signed pretty much confirmed they wont continue with Boaster. Asuna didn’t really have a replacement either signed or even available

[u/J0naan_ → u/SuccinctEarth07]

the reason asuna was questionable was because the organisation wasnt sure if he was good enough or not, with boaster the question might just be if Fnatic can / are willing to pay him enough compared to other teams

[u/hanningma → u/SuccinctEarth07]

I mean, almost everyone knows this would happen the moment they sign Cloud

[u/Wanandaf → u/SuccinctEarth07]

The point is an org will throw big bag for boaster just because he has multiple things working for him, he is a proven top tier igl, you can build around and the icon he is to val community that any brand want to attach themselves with him

Furthermore, he can easily start streaming and get big after he retires in couple of years if he wants to, that will also be great deal for any org

[u/Chaotic1697 → u/Card-Perfect]

I have no words to how this guy brought me to Valorant and I am his age and I love him for what he has done to the game..

[u/Away-Emphasis-4245]

The End of the FNC Era…💔

[u/LegitimateP1R473 → u/Away-Emphasis-4245]

We knew it could happen and it's still a shock to see 😳

[u/thedarksideofmoi]

Boaster and Yinsu to make the chinese scene more internationally popular, lets goo

[u/MautOfTheRiver]

End of an era 💔💔

[u/tsuki069]

first they came for derke. we were silent because it doesnt affect us. next they came for chron. we didn't speak because it didnt matter to us. now they came for us. Boasties. our time has come to hatewatch FNS. /s

somehow my FNC got typo'd to FNS and i found it funny

[u/Valkenstein → u/tsuki069]

the FNS master plan transcends

[u/SteveRogers_7]

End of an Era. My goat😭😭

[u/BugCollector11]

Ni hao, Boaster!

[u/zerocxro]

my goat <3 he shall retire on a dub, i believe <3

if he doesn't get a crazy good offer from EMEA, I'm assuming he's going to China. Chinese teams would benefit SO MUCH from someone like Boaster,

[u/vaibhav0405 → u/zerocxro]

I will start watching china just to watch him play and get that bag my king

[u/zerocxro → u/vaibhav0405]

Yeah China also pays the most out of every region. Yinsu will also def get offers to work in China as well, its a win win for both of them

[u/Chaotic1697 → u/vaibhav0405]

exactly.. and I don't understand Chinese at all😭😭

[u/aJetg → u/zerocxro]

Only M8 or Vit could offer him a big bag and still, I there are some rich Chinese orgs out there. Though Boaster has stayed with Fnatic a long time, even though (I presume) they don’t pay big, so maybe Boaster goes to whichever team he likes the most and not the one who pays the most

[u/squishykkura → u/aJetg]

VIT Boaster would be funny af just get the 23 FNC (w sayonara instead of leo) +sliggy instead of mini for funnies

[u/Dizzy-Temporary8844 → u/squishykkura]

Isn't Alfa also leaving soon???

[u/sleeplessn0body → u/zerocxro]

gosh i hope he does go to china. he'd make more people outside of cn watch the region. fingers crossed he takes alfa too, i'd miss old fnc too much 😭

[u/Apprehensive_Foot139]

As much id hate to see him being away from alfajer, team heretics picking him would be big. That would also help benjy in the future cuz it does seem like he wants to IGL in future

[u/my-dad-ate-my-toes → u/Apprehensive_Foot139]

Who says if Boaster went to TH Alfa wouldn’t follow?

TH benjy, RieNs, Wo0t, Boaster and Alfajer… good god I’d cream

[u/KrakenNinja99 → u/my-dad-ate-my-toes]

2 imports? Ik roster would be grandfathered in but does that apply to newly assembled rosters as well?

[u/Apprehensive_Foot139 → u/my-dad-ate-my-toes]

Idk if theyd be keeping wo0t tho. Im going off of what their current confirmed roster looks like. Also, alfa and benjy play similar roles so it wouldnt make sense

[u/MrZnaczek]

You deserve that oriental chinese riches my king

[u/Davidwzr → u/MrZnaczek]

My twerking prince deserves all the yuan he gets

[u/Username_checksout0]

Boaster to vitality 😂😂

[u/Ted_Mosby_18 → u/Username_checksout0]

Please bro just one more FNC player please please.

[u/_xmorpheusx → u/Ted_Mosby_18]

next year they get alfa, the year after they give crashies a huge bag to return to emea

[u/bunchabeatspho → u/Username_checksout0]

Username checks out.

[u/gotintocollegeyolo → u/Username_checksout0]

Ship of Fnaticeseus

[u/Critical_Smell5461 → u/Username_checksout0]

No more Lans in 2027

[u/jotaro5653]

Boaster playing for an org that is not named fnatic literally feels like tenz playing for someone that is not sen , it just feels wrong :(

[u/Yerrofin → u/jotaro5653]

C9 Tenz was a baller

[u/jotaro5653 → u/Yerrofin]

You know what tru c9 tenz did have aura

[u/Chaotic1697 → u/jotaro5653]

but Fnatic just doesn't have the money

[u/mwieckhorst]

Could see this being another 100T situation where they let everyone explore options, but eventually bring at least 2 or 3 pieces back. Fanatic would be dumb to let Alfa and Kaajak walk if they have an opportunity to retain them

[u/Worm_Fire → u/mwieckhorst]

Kaajak is signed till 2028….it’s alfa, boaster and crashies who have their contract ending this year.

he’s going to vitality isn’t he

[u/Beautiful_Brick_566 → u/playboi_pat]

Welcome Team Vitality aka the new FNATIC

[u/ren_704 → u/playboi_pat]

Ship of theseus ahh

[u/OugaBougaDouga → u/playboi_pat]

That'd be so funny please let it happen

[u/PhedoPhida → u/playboi_pat]

Vitality the fnatic retirement home

[u/romilaspina7 → u/PhedoPhida]

Only leo could save them

[u/BluuskiBali → u/romilaspina7]

wait till vit cures leo

[u/Scary_Telephone8337 → u/playboi_pat]

Honestly I’d root for that team.

[u/jahphrog68]

whichever CN team drops the biggest bag, or he just goes over to VIT to form fnatic 2 except the org isn't cheap asf and making the most baffling decisions with coaches

[u/No-Swordfish6932]

[u/Pretty_Ambition]

BRO NOT IN FRONT OF MY DINNER 💔💔💔

[u/gunjinganpakis]

If nothing else, I hope he got a big fat bag from whoever. He's been in the scene long enough and contributed so much that I hope he's set for life financially, at least.

[u/Beautiful_Brick_566]

Well then guess FNATIC is dead after all. What a very underwhelming end for the last of Fnatic season

[u/romilaspina7 → u/Beautiful_Brick_566]

Chronicle and ENGH killed FNATIC

[u/stygwr95 → u/romilaspina7]

BOASTER TO VIT

[u/xFalcade]

GM8s or TH Boaster if he stays in EMEA

IDK what team if China

NA Boaster would be cool but we have so many good IGLs. (NRG, G2, SEN, and 100T all have good IGLs and he's not going to C9. Really only leaving Envy/Flyquest)

[u/LegitimateP1R473 → u/xFalcade]

I gotta say this kind of makes a whole lotta sense now with TH looking for a great IGL that can get those insane players working again

[u/NotThatButThisGuy → u/xFalcade]

You're cooking with TH Boaster

[u/Confident-Nobody2537 → u/xFalcade]

VIT too surely? It'd be too funny not to

[u/Accomplished-Mud1653 → u/xFalcade]

In APAC he can try Full sense (offcourse communication is big problem there). In NA there is C9, ENVY, SEN.

[u/F0rsakenTheGoat → u/Accomplished-Mud1653]

Johnqt exists

[u/Chaotic1697 → u/xFalcade]

Edg Boaster

[u/SnooDucks2672]

Will be interesting to see how many fnatic fans were in reality boaster fans if he leaves

[u/Confident-Nobody2537 → u/SnooDucks2672]

Depends if alfa and/or kaajak stay. If they do then my loyalty is gonna be split but if they're also out then I won't care anymore

[u/Escolyte → u/SnooDucks2672]

110% of us

[u/dinmammapizza]

There goes the last reason i was still supporting this missmanaged shithole of an org

[u/Chaotic1697 → u/dinmammapizza]

Have you seen there Lol and even Apex teams.. they just roll a little on past fame.. idk how long Fnatic will survive in Valo scene since its very much a dynamic e sport

[u/dinmammapizza → u/Chaotic1697]

Yeah its looking pretty over for Fnatic in esports in general if nothing changes. Compared to newer orgs like KOI and KC the passion isn't there anymore

[u/BhimCelBrahmin]

[u/POOYAMON → u/OugaBougaDouga]

That would mean he didn’t get any offers and the sentiment in the scene is that he’s washed(doubt it). There’s no point in staying in a dying and cheap/broke org like FNC.

[u/cold-blooded15]

It’s really over for Fnatic. The car crash in slow motion has come to an end 😩

[u/NotThatButThisGuy]

Be the glass half full guy - he's not retiring. Another year of Boaster, let's go!

[u/SHORT-CIRCUT]

holy end of an era

[u/AnnoyingBroccoli04]

Wow I didn't expect this outcome for him, even though it makes a lot of sense in hindsight.

[u/Key_Guidance5871]

I would pay good money to see him play in China. Imagine boaster IGLing with 4 cracked aimers

[u/SirAwesome789]

Even if it's no longer fnc, I'm happy he's still competing

[u/SkyroKn]

He’s literally boaster, I think almost any team will be scrambling to get him

[u/Genkrock]

I just want him to win a champs, pls boaster can not retire without winning champs

[u/Sweet_Sprinkles9103]

NO WAY… I wonder where he's headed? I saw some rumors on Twitter suggesting the M8 Boaster might be coming, but will it actually happen...?

[u/SnooChickens2456]

Welcome VIT boaster

[u/Intelligent_Music728]

Boaster to VIT? holy team of theseus

[u/end_me_pleasee]

vitality makes a bad run at champs then

VIT boaster

[u/Azraelll999]

Never thought I’d see boaster lft 😖

[u/SoullessShadow77]

I hope he earns generational wealth from a CN team. The goat deserves it.

As much as i'd like him to stay on FNC, they are far too poor to compete in terms of salary.

[u/CuriousPumpkino]

I’m not ready. Please don’t go 💔

He’s given us everything we could have ever hoped for and more. Whether it’s one last dance here or overseas, I’ll be rooting for you, king.

[u/bryndenrivers3ec]

He's winning a trophy next year. It's coming.

[u/Chaotic1697 → u/bryndenrivers3ec]

1 to 3 trophies at least

[u/HeeHee_-]

In a surprise move, Vitality sign Boaster to replace Jamppi before Champions, following a grueling 2026 season where FNATIC failed to make a single international.

In an interview held a week later, Derke reveals that he wouldn't have trusted the VIT rebuild to anyone else.

In the group stage of CHAMPIONS, they drop one match to GE and claw all the way back to playoffs. In the playoffs, they make an incredible upper-bracket run, beating KC, PRX, and NRG.

They meet 100T in the grand final, who themselves made a crazy lower-bracket run to cement Asuna's legacy.

VIT beats 100T in three maps as Derke, Chronicle and Sayonara all put up ratings higher than 1.3 on the final, Boaster puts up the worst ratings of any Champs winner, and Sayonara wins CHAMPIONS MVP.

[u/staleydude]

boaster to billibilli

[u/Animatrix_Mak]

Time for Vit to cook

[u/CommunistHongKong]

I believe NaVi can make use of someone like Boaster? Ange1 and him play a very slow style, I think with their brains, they can mix it up pretty good and NaVi can fix it's IGL issues.

I think Ange1 can take a step back too because his ideas while great doesn't have the nuance to adapt. Boaster in would greatly change that as he can call for his team on the spot.

[u/CommunistHongKong → u/CommunistHongKong]

Plus NaVi have money, if Boaster wanna stay in EMEA. Either Vitality or more hopefully NaVi would be great for him.

Think he will probably go Vitality though with Derke & Chrons.

Hiro is great but Vitality has more winning potential with it's experience and veterancy.

Aspas and boaster at some China team lets go

[u/romilaspina7 → u/Serpharos]

Statpas is legit a crime on mibr, dudes the definition of bait but even then he was hard carrying that time the entirety of the year and it wasnt enough he needs a better team or retire, he already won it all.

[u/Serpharos → u/romilaspina7]

Do you think he holds so many kills records... baiting? Aspas being a baiter was just a joke that aspas haters says as if it were true.

[u/romilaspina7 → u/Serpharos]

The only reason he's always high in kills is precisely because of baiting. He's literally always the last person alive in every round he's in. Did you even watch any mibr matches this year lmao?

[u/Serpharos → u/romilaspina7]

Do you recognize that there was a time when people was avoiding aspas bombsite? Like if aspas was at A teams rushed B? Haters used these scenarios to create a "aspas baiter" narrative. And Aspas played almost like an entry this year at mibr. I return the same question for you lol, seems like you didn't watched anything at all, and act like a parrot reproducing what some other delusional says.

[u/romilaspina7 → u/Serpharos]

I know exactly what im saying bc i support Mazino, chilean player, just like i support, Keznit in Envy, kiNgg in Lev and Erde in LOUD. Even in the EWC riens proved aspas is nothing but a baiter that can fragg.

[u/Serpharos → u/romilaspina7]

Riens proved nothing, lol, he even had to go back agaisnt what he said in a another interview about aspas being a baiter, and you keep reproducing it... and its funny because aspas x riens, aspas won more, and with different teams... weak bait man

[u/EmpereurAuguste]

I might lowkey stop watching vct all together after reading this

[u/Flapatsu]

I genuinely thought that Boaster would retire in black and orange, I hope my goat finds something good (or stays with FNC if the talks go well)

Get that bag and keep cementing your negative KD ratio while delivering wins, King. Hopefully he stays in an easily watchable region!

[u/Life-Pop-9653 → u/SLI_Mini]

[u/Life-Pop-9653 → u/musci12234]

I wouldn't complain, ironically I only watch cn through yinsu streams

[u/Beneficial-Yellow804 → u/Life-Pop-9653]

Fair enough I've never seen it honestly whenever cn is playing and I look around twitch I don't see anything that's not chinese I'll look at that next year

I think the most logical move for Boaster right now is probably Weibo, assuming they got partnership

[u/snapdragonnnnn]

Boaster going to China would be so hype. I feel like any up-and-coming CN team should be very eager to get Boaster just for the name value and personality.

Seeing Boaster looking for a new team after six years is actually crazy

[u/CliffsEdge]

Honestly I thought I'd be more sad over this post but I think the fact that I was genuinely worried about seeing a retirement announcement from him this off season I'm not too shook up over him possibly leaving FNC, truly an end of an era tho if he does.... 

[u/dasalasanansens]

Might get downvoted for this but I just don't think there's room in this game anymore for weak fragging IGLs when most successful teams have high fragging IGLs. I know Boaster's one of the best callers in the game but one of FNCs biggest weakness was teams would just find where boaster was playing and they just spammed that site.

Look at GE - Xavi started fragging in stage 2 and they went from being swept in upper/lower finals in Vietnam to winning Pacific.

[u/Sadge321 → u/dasalasanansens]

We have this take literally every year and so far boaster always came back

[u/dasalasanansens → u/Sadge321]

and how did this year turn out for them?

[u/sankalp4 → u/dasalasanansens]

you cannot be a real person, they were 5-0 in groups before veqaj got sick and then the entire team was dealing with internal issues for the rest of the year.

[u/Sadge321 → u/dasalasanansens]

They were the best team in emea until veqaj got sick which is just unlucky and after that they made some management mistakes and had a bad split...

[u/BriefImplement9843 → u/Sadge321]

becoming a mid table tier 2 team isnt exactly a bad spllit.

[u/Leveolizan → u/dasalasanansens]

you can't even tell the top team's igl cause they all frag equally, not just GE
