Since the stats are almost identical, it really shows a key difference in leadership and impact when it comes to the tactical side of things.
Also, in my eyes, Karrigan has more raw impact, his KAST is higher for example.
Karrigan doesn't let the pressure get to him in the sense that it never affects his calling, while you can see a huge difference in the way Cloud 9 makes rotations, gamble stacks, flash plays etc, if you compare to the groupstage.
Karrigan is a true leader and it shows. Nafany might be solid as a caller when not under pressure, but the mistakes in their gameplan when he's under pressure is crystal clear to me at least.
Karrigan played withought fear. Against Furia Karrigan destroyed. He is a god

Pretty much accurate

It’s not tho? Choking on stage doesn’t automatically just go away with playing more on stage, it’s a mindset and psycological thing if pressure gets to you, and it’s not easy to just ”play more” high stake games and get rid of it by doing that.
Choking doesn’t just stop is what im trying to say, remeber the TL lineup that choked for years? Yeah that never really changed for that lineup, they had to make adjustments to their lineup and bring in better leadership.
Nafany has been in plenty of finals / big games to get that ”experience”, you see less experienced players (JDC, Xertion for example) and even if those 2 are not callers, you can see that their mindset is the same on stage, they play exactly the same as in groups/ online.
Dexter is the IGL on Mouz and he never had much experience of high stake games, but he’s never struggled with pressure when he got to those Big games, which meant his calling wasn’t affected by it.

I agree but it will definitely improve with experience. It also doesn't help that most of the time the crowd is against him
But you are comparing him to karrigan who literally was a choker until like 32yo lmao
Im a karrigan fanboy but back in the TSM days they were widely known as chokers and eternal second.
So experience plays a huge part. nafany is 11 ! years younger than karrigan.
Karrigan been playing the game at a high level for like a decade. Nafany not so much. There is no doubt that he is a great player and a great leader. The pressure of a final is very different. You can start over thinking, start doubting your ideas and decision making.
When a few things don’t work out and you’re not playing well it can affect you that much more when the pressure is on.
Karrigan right now is deffo the better leader. Time will tell if nafany can reach his level.
The psychology of a grand final is very interesting. You are playing the same game but it feels very different.
its like karrigan played for C9 and nafany played for Faze

But, Karrigan is stealing all the lime light
Ye i remember when he cost them elimination from the last major on a bof3 against BNE. Brilliant mind
With that said, Nafany is utter shit and is a tier 4 at best. Worthless aim, worthless calls, dead face
