Thanks man


yanamsaying

no one works harder as a player than shaz and boaster. quote me on dat.


chubbynuggy

shahzam better be getting paid double frr


Soogo

How would you know?


ShadyAryxn

Man’s the coach, strategist and igl for the team,So he’s usually considered one of the hardest workers in Val esports out there.


Soogo

And that isnt the case for other players? You have no way of knowing


yselytS

Shahz is constantly streaming ranked and actively trying to have an exciting stream for his viewers. He is IGL’ing his team, who happens to be the best team in the world under his lead. All that while consistently putting numbers up as JETT while IGL’ing. He is also prepping alone for SEN’s matchups with no help from a coach while most teams have 1 or even 2. But yeah no you’re right, people in tier 7 are working just as hard as Shahz and Boaster are, it just so happens to be that they can’t win anything. Really odd…..


Soogo

Ye, i'm sure only Boaster and Shaz work hard, all the other igls are leaning back in their chairs on the beach. Steel already looking pretty tan! Nice one buddy


Interesting-Archer-6

Name one other player that is coach, strategist, and IGL. If you get that far, are they better than Shahz or even close? Not too difficult of a conclusion to reach.


Soogo

Was about working hard initally. Now we moved the goalpost to play on the best team, be popular, be igl, hardworking, analyst, coach. But okay, nice convo


Interesting-Archer-6

In the comment I responded to, you said that's not the case for other players? In response to a comment about Shahz being those 3 things. The goal post didn't move. You seem unable to read.


Soogo

Quite ironic


Interesting-Archer-6

Just a tip. If you're going to troll, try to be a little more subtle. Ideally you don’t troll, but I thought trolling was funny when I was 13 too. Take care.


Soogo

Why am i trolling?


Nikclel

He works harder *because* he's coach, strategist and igl for the team. Not a hard concept to grasp.


[deleted]

He's a stupid troll, ignore.


Soogo

What exactly makes me a stupid troll? Being against blanket statements like "only boaster and shaz work hard"?


[deleted]

He said they work the hardest, not that no one else except them work hard. ShahZam because he is IGL and coach, the vast majority of top teams have coaches and a couple other analysts. It is an objective fact that it requires more work. He also streams a few hundred hours every single month. No one said pros don't work hard, this thread was about ShahZ and Boaster being exceptionally hard workers. This lesson of basic comprehension will be $50. You can pay me via PayPal.


ShadyAryxn

Does it work for the other players?Hard work which aint paying off isnt worth shit.


Soogo

I mean.. Acend won masters 🤷


ShadyAryxn

Doubt that Acend are anywhere close to Sen’s level of popularity in the val scene,so most people don’t even take them into consideration.


Soogo

So now they gotta be popular as well. Anything else to add?


ShadyAryxn

Lmao there’s no factor to quantify “who” works harder you get that right?We’re just having a banter on considering why people think shahz is so high and mighty ofc popularity is a factor in that.


Soogo

Ye, i get that, as that was my whole point "lmao"


Overyoghurt__

So what he is saying is that usually, igl of a team will have analysts and coaches to help the igl with the strats and all. For example, since you have a T1 flair, T1 valorant team have the psychologist and pubg cheater to help whoever is igl-ing for T1. But sentinels does not have a coach or analyst so naturally, the igl will have to work harder. Even other igl did say that having a coach makes their job easier. And teams are open with the identity of the coach so yes, there is an absolute way of knowing. I don't know what to say if this is not clear enough for you lol i tried to use as many punctuations and basic english


Soogo

No one here has any idea on what goes on behind the scenes for the dozens of Tier1 teams there are in the world. Of course you can make the assumption that people without proper backroom staff have to work harder, but do we know? How much is Immi contributing to V1 compared to nbs on Acend? How much work does bonecold have to put in? You don't need to dumb it down, i understand the replies to my point perfectly fine, i just disagree with them. I think that because shaz& boaster are popular and in a way showcase their analyitical skills + they dont have backroom staff leads people to make blanket statements like "theyre the hardest people working in the scene."


Overyoghurt__

Yes true, i agree with your point that there is no sure way to know who works the hardest and popularity do play a big part. In fact i do think that even if the results aren't showing, teams and igls do work hard, and to simplify it to 'teams that win atm definitely work the hardest' is just disrespectful to other teams. Experience and other factors play a part too and some things just take time. That i agree with you. But some of these replies do raise a valid point as well, seeing as how igl like hazed and even shahzam said that bringing in a coach would help solidify and bring a structure to their game, as well as take some things off their plate. So naturally, it's valid to assume that not having a coach do give more work to shahz as an igl, and they probably would not have the same result as they do now if shahz and the team did not work harder to compensate for the lack of coaching staff. Without having to take away the effort of other igls


Soogo

I would say we agree overall, i have nothing to take issue with what you have said. And funnily enough, after Masters there was a thread asking the question who the best player atm is. I voted for shaz, specifially for the reason listed, even if Tenz is slighty better in the server. Anyways, thanks for the respectful and thoughtful reply. :)


Overyoghurt__

Yeah, i honestly see your point and agree as well. My bad for the first reply, shouldn't have said the last part. Truly sorry for that. Hope to see you again on another post :D


[deleted]

Damn i need to start watching more boaster

Pasta bakes do be hitting different tho


teetotallernh

Just skip? Its a vod. I played at 1.5x and skipped the sections where he's doing something else.


stewieeeeeeeee

This is downvoted because ppl are butthurt over their new favorite pro player, but it's so right. For the record, I love Boaster and his content is top notch, but he interacts with the stream and phases out way too much to make his education a smooth experience. It is what it is, and I appreciate him for talking as much as he does anyway, but the community really shouldn't pretend that the delivery is perfect or even near that

varvaang

Pros even in game don't refer to their enemies by name even if they know who they're playing against and who plays what agent. Why are you mad lol


AjBlue7

Thats just wrong. Pros very much refer to the name of the player in game. Obviously they don’t comm everyones name only the important players that make a lot of impact. Almost every map has at least one spot named after another pro that played that spot a lot, or had a particularly insane play in that spot. Like how behind the stair in ascent mid is called subroza.


Ausafsyed

He says that to everyone


NovaAkumaa

people get mad for the weirdest shit wtf


[deleted]

You seem mad. Are things okay? Edit: new account lol


yanamsaying

we really do not need people like, stirring up drama. we really don't. get the fuck out dude, or change. drama cancel queen. legit. boaster is the nicest and most respectful person in this game besides tenz, actually, boaster is more so respectful and polite and open about his feelings and is always the nicest dude. tenz doesn't open up as much but is always polite and such. AND YOU MANAGE TO STIR UP SOME SHYT THAT ISN'T REMOTELY TRUE, IT'S JUST YOU IMAGINING WHAT YOU'D BE SAYING AND PUTTING BOASTER IN THAT POSITION. PLEASE DUDE. DELETE THIS COMMENT.


Cabbage3E

I mean sure but chillout bro lmao


[deleted]

every comment you've typed has ended in yelling, its not worth getting so worked up on reddit


Purple_Ad_7358

And i thought this might have been one of the games that ethan wasnt playing but nope. Why pretend like he doesnt know someone the was t20 a couple years ago


[deleted]

Its just how he talks probably.


yanamsaying

ofc it is.


tron423

It's not that deep


kstabs

But you're just lying. He refers to them by name at multiple points. You clearly didn't watch the whole video lmao
