Niko was one of the worst igl, faze was a total mess with him as igl even if they won one blast tournament and a online IEM. Faze was called a meme at that time with their players don't playing the roles that would be better for them but the roles that would favour niko to frag lol

Man if we look at the strategies used in the matches and the organization of the players in general we can see that big part of merit goes to the IGL, coaches have part of the recognize aswell but they can't calling during matches at least in lans. Also Twistzz would be in this list, don't you think so?
2023-04-15 12:21
3 replies
the thing with this faze is that I don't really see a dedicated "support" player amongst them. While Twistzz is the generally accepted one there's a lot happening in the server. Same with ENCE. Dycha is their "support" player but he's more of a flex than support. People like Xyp and Perf are much more dedicated in the "support" role, so they're alot more easier to list

I biasedly disagree
2023-04-15 13:03
karrigan played almost his whole career with best riflers awper and overall individuals. Imagine having ropz twistz rain and broky and still barely making or maybe not even making major. And also most of his trophies he had with most OP Teams like super Faze team back in the days when Niko olof and guardian where in their best shape. So all in all I am saying he is just mostly lucky to be in super teams and be considered as the "best" igl

gla1ve was good only 2-3 years and had device, dupreeh, magisk +they were abusing nvidia smokes
2023-04-15 13:19
glaive only proved himself with prime device after device left astralis became tier 3 team, you can say karrigan always had good players by his side but even so it's not that easy to handle different personalities otherwise aleksib would have made g2 succeed. this is what makes karrigan the best IGL in csgo, even being bad individually he always managed to make his line ups (danish, early faze, 2017 faze, super team faze, mouz, current faze) being competitive.
2023-04-16 02:53
Part of being IGL is managing big player Egos. I think that´s one place where Karrigan has been good. Not every IGL can lead a bunch of star players and make them play like a team.

He just an unlucky guy like he literally took the reigns in an unstable roster with junior and tried to call the best he can with no prior tier 1 experience still. Everyone jumped at him. When his calling was decent and deagle headshots crisp, he is very young and talented, now that our boy has skyrocketed Complexity to challengers and,particularly to many people's surprise was looking sharp in RMR, future is bright for Jay T the gangsta

His teammates said that he was very liberal about what his comrades should do in the matches like a pug team. But he was very sucessfull as he won 2 major and was mvp on one of them as IGL. I would put him alongside apEX, nitr0, Jame, Boombl4 and cadiaN as honourable mentions but Xizt deserves more

He is really underrated, Vitality with him as IGL was a top 3 team for 2 years in a row. Also have you tought why he stills on the team even with his stats? I think its because he can manage ZywOo to be a sick fragger and the best in the world
2023-04-15 13:29
honestly his decisions maybe questionable sometimes but the way that he made vitality solid last few years with zywoo and 4 sub 1 rating bots is impressive (not enough to be at all time level tho)

And why should karrigan be over 3x majors and 2x majors? Ah no makes no sense Karrigan isn’t even rank 4, he’s lucky if he is rank 5 Recency bias and hype but we all saw the regular inconsistency of karrigan he doesn’t deserve the hype Here real list Gla1ve 4 major JW 3 major Fallen 2 major NBK- 2 Major Get_right or whoever was NiP igl 1 Major, other tournaments 96 unbeaten map streak, multiple major finals (5 in sum) Boomich 1 major and solid era not inconsistent All these have done way more than karrigan and had solid eras. Karrigan is on rank 7. Lmao he qualified with luck against a tired C9 yesterday, nearly didn’t qualify at all

Jw was never the igl for those majors (pronax all 3) Happy got two majors and an mvp Xizt was the nip igl NBK was not an igl during his major wins (happy) NaVi era has never been semented as such. It's up for debate, even more so than SK/LG. Boom's achievements are relatively less than that of Karrigan, and their time frame is vastly different
