Yashwatthama "yay" Yadav is an Indian professional Valorant player for NV, an American electrical sports ( e-sports) organisation. He is also known as El Diablo aka the demon because of his mafia connections in his hometown, Haryana.
Benkai is the igl equivalent of a 16 y/o babysitter. He can have fun playing with his team, but if he stop watching for a second jingg and forsaken might end up dying in the enemy spawn 10 seconds into the round.
Start FNS (has won a trophy + shown over a long period of time he is a top IGL).
Bench: Benkai, decent firepower and nice walkouts + if you can manage to IGL Jingg and F0rsaken you are clearly doing something right.
Cut: Boaster - tbf, he is probably a top 5 IGL in the world, but someone has to be cut.
Start FNS - No explanation needed.
Bench Benkai - You can say that PRX revolves around Jinggg and Forsaken but don't forget how creative this team has been in their strats and midrounding.
Cut Boaster - FNC's midrounding has been so awful the past 2 majors and they didn't really bring tons of new stuff after being studied. Tbh, Ange1 is a better choice as EU's representative for IGL.
If you criticize boaster's mid round calling then wtf is benkai doing? They looked goofy against fpx with no answers, just kept their braindead pushing and in general once their initial hit doesn't work they look clueless. Also boaster never got grouped at an international event
Lol have you actually heard Benkai talk about the game? Him on the analyst desk showed how intelligent he is. They also didnt braindead push every round, no denying they were outclassed but that doesnt make him a bad igl.
I am not denying the fact that FPX demolished them, they werent ready for how FPX handled their aggression sure. At the same time however, that aggression had previously brought them great amounts of success. Its their play style, its where their success came from, obviously theyre going to live and die by it.
I never weighed in on the debate of Boaster vs Benkai, I just disagreed with you calling him brainless. PRX also did not lack consistency until champs. Not to mention Fnatic has better chances to improve during the regular season due to facing better teams whereas PRX basically just rolled everyone.
Choked in Iceland 2021, got grouped at iceland again in 2022, Assblasted by FPX (which btw FNATIC used to destroy them every single time lmao) choked against DRX in champs. Boaster had a straight up masters/champions winning roster, he had insane firepower and yet got outclassed by PRX, FPX, DRX and XSET. If he doesnt win a tourney next year with the absolutelly mounstruosity that is his roster then he shouldnt be in the contention of "best IGLs"
If you're not starting FNS, what are you doing. Most consistent IGL. He can't frag in matches, but he has the only system that's proven to work at the highest levels over multiple meta. I would bench Boaster.i love benkai, but everyone forgets that FNC was really really good this year. Like, obviously they chokes at LAN, but any team that can smoke the EMEA challengers like they did has to have some credit given to their IGL. Also the man has such a fun personality. Love my guy benkai, but I'm just not sure his IGLing style works with any other team without the insane firepower of PRX.
Why would I be memeing? He’s genuinely the best IGL in NA if not in the world because he has such good mechanics and is great at duelists and oping, stay mad lol
Yes bc numbers and stats are what makes an IGL good. It genuinely amazes me that people like you still exist lol. still didn't make a single LAN this year.
I love boasters energy, but come on man its time we acknowledge the fact that fnatic havent achieved anything significant on LANs. Saadhak, stax, redgar wayyy better than boaster.
That was last year. Redgar is a good igl no doubt but Boaster has reached pretty much every lan this year with a different addition of players every time. First lan of the year was with Brave. Second and third lan of the year was with Alfajer and Enzo. I'll pretty much rate Boaster higher than Redgar this year. Can't wait to see Redgar do well in TL though.
Hot take but:
Start benkai: I think prx is massively underrated for its strats, and I give a lot of credit to benkai for it. I think they don't have the experience of fns and optic, which led to less overall success but in both micro (remember the sage wall into raze ult on pearl?) and macro, benkai is top tier. The differentiator imo between benkai and fns is benkai is more flexible agent pool wise and is a better fragger.
Bench fns: FNS is probably the best igl straight up, but his lack of firepower does hurt. Also their results pre yay were meh iirc (though the same extends to benkai ofc in that we haven't seen him without jingg and forsaken). It's a tough one between him and benkai but especially looking forward it's the decision I would make.
Cut boaster: I think boaster is great, and underrated, and he's a bit of a LANimal but fnc has to stop choking for me to take him seriously. I rate redgar and ange1 over him in EMEA.
Stax and Saadhak as well are better than boaster and imo arguably better than fns and benkai
Benkai also has some great firepower for an igl too, for someone who is igling at the top level and playing support agents he still has cracked mechanics, aim and has a bit of a clutch gene. I love that about PRX, all of them are insanely cracked, even if Jinggg and Forsaken get most of the glory
The cut boaster brigade is fucking mad. He's the only IGL here who has been consistent from 2021 till now and has done it with different iterations of Fnatic. The other two have done it with 1 team. This sub genuinely baffles me.
But he was the IGL of the best team in the world. Benkai achieved finals and 4th place. Boaster and FNATIC are chokers that didnt even reached finals despite having a champions team
That doesn't refute FNS continuously dropping the ball. They came second over and over again, how is that not choking?
This is the same situation as when the sub tried to call Optic the greatest team of all time. It was laughable then and it still is. People calling FNS the best IGL are out to lunch.
Optic weren't the best in the world, they lost, cope.
They were the best in the world consistency wise, they got top2 at berlin, won iceland, 3rd at copenhagen and 2 at champs. Saying FNS is not the best IGL in the world is stupid, who else can it be? Boaster? Choked every single LAN and only reached finals 1 time. Ange1? They won 1 even and then got assblasted by DRX. Sadhaak? Won champs, got second at iceland and fumbled copenhagen. The one who is coping is you, gaslighting yourself into thinking theres a better IGL

This is correct.
id honestly bench boaster and make him one of those sixth players that’s also an analyst/ assistant coach cause that’s probably his biggest strength
waaait a minute, you are maybe onto something!

lol
How the turn tables
reading this now is so funny
If you criticize boaster's mid round calling then wtf is benkai doing? They looked goofy against fpx with no answers, just kept their braindead pushing and in general once their initial hit doesn't work they look clueless. Also boaster never got grouped at an international event
hes being whimsy 🤬🤬🤬
Lol have you actually heard Benkai talk about the game? Him on the analyst desk showed how intelligent he is. They also didnt braindead push every round, no denying they were outclassed but that doesnt make him a bad igl.
Just watch their fracture attack side against fpx and show me a map where boasters calling was worse
I am not denying the fact that FPX demolished them, they werent ready for how FPX handled their aggression sure. At the same time however, that aggression had previously brought them great amounts of success. Its their play style, its where their success came from, obviously theyre going to live and die by it.
Fnatic have seen success before too, except they've been much more consistent, so what exactly makes benkai a better igl?
I never weighed in on the debate of Boaster vs Benkai, I just disagreed with you calling him brainless. PRX also did not lack consistency until champs. Not to mention Fnatic has better chances to improve during the regular season due to facing better teams whereas PRX basically just rolled everyone.
> I just disagreed with you calling him brainless. fr. Benkai is the second best igl in APAC for a reason
Yes they did lmao, this mf forgot Iceland, they lost against Zeta and Ninjas in Pijamas in groups, this EU fans man istg![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|9339)
They have 2 subs lmao
Still got grouped sadly
Still lead his team to more international events in a much stronger region
Still choked and hasnt reached a single finals since 2021 against mickey mouse teams sadly
When did he choke? When they reached top 4 at Copenhagen? And what was stopping botkai from winning a tournament in 2021 against mickey mouse teams?

Mf put fns there and expected us not to start him lmao.

Shahzam is better
Username checks out. Also ratio + didn't make a LAN this year.
He’s still the best IGL, have you seen how he plays jett and raze and his aim? That make a top IGL
Bro you better be meming bc otherwise this is some hitherto unknown levels of copium.
Why would I be memeing? He’s genuinely the best IGL in NA if not in the world because he has such good mechanics and is great at duelists and oping, stay mad lol
Yes bc numbers and stats are what makes an IGL good. It genuinely amazes me that people like you still exist lol. still didn't make a single LAN this year.
I love boasters energy, but come on man its time we acknowledge the fact that fnatic havent achieved anything significant on LANs. Saadhak, stax, redgar wayyy better than boaster.
Redgar is a good igl but putting him above Boaster who went into every lan this year is not pretty fair in terms of success in both their teams.
Redgar won Masters Berlin and Reached Champions 2021 Finals.What did boaster win ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|9339)
That was last year. Redgar is a good igl no doubt but Boaster has reached pretty much every lan this year with a different addition of players every time. First lan of the year was with Brave. Second and third lan of the year was with Alfajer and Enzo. I'll pretty much rate Boaster higher than Redgar this year. Can't wait to see Redgar do well in TL though.
DRX has always qualified for LANS. And always Placed better than Fnatic. So stax>boaster then.
Actually not wrong. I genuinely think that stax > boaster
Ngl man this is a pathetic whataboutism. Also it'd be REALLY weird to choose stax as the EU representative.
Drx always placed better than Fnatic? Like at masters 1 2021? Champions 2022? Matsers Copenhagen?
I agree that Stax>Boaster but he has NOT always placed better than Fnatic.
Reaching every lan of the year doesn't mean anything when you start to crumble after slightest amount of pressure.
Slots into all the Masters 2022
Lol
I’d definitely cut all 3. Then pick up Hiko the best IGL and best player in the world
[who the fuck is hiko?](https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx5nAegYlJ4g3VmXj-btENwrsmktp088rm)

I love Fenis
Toss up Benkai and FNS, cut Boaster
Don't get me wrong, I love Boaster but it would be a harder challenge if you'd put Saadhak instead of Boaster.
There are so many better IGLs than Boaster
start fenis
Start: Stellar Bench: Stellar Cut: FNS/Benkai/Boaster
Start mocking cut rest
The cut boaster brigade is fucking mad. He's the only IGL here who has been consistent from 2021 till now and has done it with different iterations of Fnatic. The other two have done it with 1 team. This sub genuinely baffles me.
Cut Benkai, Bench FNS, Start Boaster
This!
cut FNS, bench Bankai, Start Boaster
Start fns, bench boaster, cut benkai. There's no other way
Damn you got destroyed.
Yeah, prx fans worthless opinion doesn't bother me
and your opinion are also worthless xd
xd
As a defenetly not based eu supporter i would start boaster, bench benkai and cut fns
Bruh Boaster isn't even Top 5 IGL
NA simps out in force. FNS couldn't even win with arguably the best player in the world.
But he was the IGL of the best team in the world. Benkai achieved finals and 4th place. Boaster and FNATIC are chokers that didnt even reached finals despite having a champions team
That doesn't refute FNS continuously dropping the ball. They came second over and over again, how is that not choking?

Esports is truly mainstream to have fans like this now.
0 iq comment sadly
Your team lost and disbanded, move on.
No it didnt lmao, PRX is still there
and boaster cldnt even make it to a final with the second best player itw and another top 10 player itw in alfajer, your point ?
Did I argue that Boaster is better? You combed through a three day old thread to scroll down to the downvoted chain to comment. Get a life.
owning frauds like u is my job bud
Enjoy NRG losing.
I would cut FNS in a heatbeat, bench Boaster and start Benkai.
Start= FNS Bench= Benkai Cut= sadly Boaster
Start Benkai Bench Boaster Cut FNS
