The naughty Jake Howlett turned 30 today. Surely Jake will not be allowed by the community to enjoy the moment much. The official FNATIC Twitter started off the celebration with a highly appreciated shoutout-an outburst of love from fans, fellow colleagues, and even rivals.
The tweet just read, A very very special day today, Happy 30th Birthday to the one and only @OfficialBoaster! That tweet just set off an eruption of love. The replies ranged from playful insults to heartfelt tributes, drawing a picture of a player who is not only respected for his skills but is revered for his aura.
One fan (@Deutarouxxx) said: “He’s older than you? Why are you worse at Valo… no excuses.” Being roasted on your birthday, now that spells success. On the more wholesome side of roasting, @Saptak_7950X wrote, “Happy 30th Birthday to crazy Boaster 🥳🥳,” because honestly, Boaster vibes are contagious.
Love was spilling out not just from the populace but even from FNATIC’s own: FNATIC’s TruVyper (@tru_teo) chimed in with the pun-laden “Happy Boastday!” Meanwhile, teammate @uwuaem kept it short with “hbd my goat 🧡🖤.” Valorant Central (@ValorCentral) added its voice to the chorus: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY KING ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
Speaking of tearjerkers, @ukiyonoo said: “Happy 30th Birthday my goat and best IGL ever existed… this year is gonna be yours.” With FNATIC gearing up for the Esports World Cup (EWC), the hype cannot be any bigger for Boaster leading this one.
And then the memes came: @__rafaeru__ gave a kitschy dancing-cat gif, chaotic vibes are the only vibes for a birthday. Meanwhile, @Lumii_offi poked light-hearted fun at buying a Valorant bundle for him. Priorities.
So far, Boaster has not chosen the common paths of esports. From the ground level, grinding in Counter-Strike, to being the face of FNATIC Valorant domination, Boaster has created a legacy of being one of the most humorous and strategic minds in the game. His walkouts? Iconic. His comms? Pretty funny. His ability to piece together a lineup, though? Top-class.
While the messages kept coming, one thing remained clear: Boaster is an aura. Be it the hype of a crowd or some seriously classy plays, Boaster hitting 30 is a statement of how much he has shaped that scene.
Here’s to Boaster. May this year be full of more W’s, walkouts, and age-related roasts, maybe less. (Just kidding; keep them coming.)
As of this moment, the Valorant community is simply happy about celebrating one of their brightest stars. And judging by how birthday wishes flowed, FNATIC’s 2024 will be set to be loud.
