Whenever we think of great teams, more often than not we think of their superstars. The highlight spamming, larger than life maestros who become the faces of their games.
But more often than not, what makes a great team truly great, is a leader. The voice of reason, the calm during the storm, and the rallying cry to lift those around them.
Now, of course, every IGL will have their own philosophy and approach to communicating with their teammates.
But when it comes to taking the reins and inspiring confidence in others perhaps no IGL approaches leadership quite like Jake “Boaster” Howlett – Fnatic’s charismatic, comedic captain.
An unorthodox entry-fragger turned shotcaller who hasn’t just spent the past year molding his team into one of Valorant’s very best, but has done so all while making himself something of a spectacle.

TOP CS Roster from the UK: 4Kings. Only real OG boomers will remember. Mangiacapra AWP
anyone else get Tom Holland vibes?
Sage ult my nan…WTF…ahahhahaha
6:48 got me acting up.
His the greatest pro player in terms of personality
Still sad that they won’t be in Berlin
Boaster has a career if he leaves professional play. He has won so many hearts that he can fall to content creation if he needs or chooses it.
god bless him xD hes such an amazing guy.
gotta live up to "you fucking suck" Jws great words, might as well be the funny guy
That TenZ clip is getting out of hand… And to be honest is such a shit clip compared to a lot of the plays he makes, maybe you're doing it for the caster hyping it up, but c'mon.
5:20 thats one of the reasons i never went pro in cs… and the 2nd reason is cos i was shit at it
I AM SENSING A KPOP FAN VIBE FROM BOASTER I NEED TO WATCH HIM MORE OMG I AM MISSING OUT
The fnatic v liquid game a week ago was hilarious. All of the player photos for fnatic had boaster in the background photobombing, sometimes he was more in the shot than the player who's photo it was.
No cap: 6:27 actually sounds pretty good
Wtf i just noticed there is no famous Uk teams in cs
Boaster gives me big bo Burnham vibes
im the Dimitri GENG
i only subscribed and liked because we are rushing b
I feel bad for the girl at 1:12
He's so charming
You can't hate him even if you try.
I found the most entertaining eSports pro today
7:21 AMOGUS SUS VENTED
Honestly he seems like a genuine great person
This man taught me one thing: Theatre kids who also love esports and gaming exist in the world
It’s nice watching a Valorant video without Dimitri telling me it is for casuals who can’t CSGO
uk cs in 2015 pepega laugh
ur hair looks dumb
is it me …. or Booster has Matt Smith "The Doctor" vibes
His singin tho
LIterally beautiful. I never knew about this side of Boaster. Such an emotionally strong and wholesome man
