Look Sports Media – Fnatic’s Valorant star, Jake "Boaster" Howlett, recently had a virtual meeting with the popular Filipino girl group BINI, following his viral walkout to their song "Zero Pressure" at the VCT EMEA Stage 1 Grand Finals. The unexpected crossover event saw Boaster engaging in a lively video chat with the eight-member group at Fnatic’s London HQ, a meeting orchestrated after BINI’s visit to the UK for their BINIverse World Tour.
The online encounter, initially teased on Fnatic’s social media, allowed Boaster to finally connect with the group he’d been publicly admiring since discovering their music. Despite his team’s intense bootcamp schedule in preparation for VCT Masters Toronto, Boaster managed to squeeze in the chat, discussing everything from musical theatre (he even serenaded them!) to their shared love of gaming, anime, and British slang.
BINI, equally surprised and delighted by Boaster’s fandom, shared their own gaming experiences, revealing a fondness for titles ranging from Call of Duty and Counter-Strike to Left 4 Dead and Grand Theft Auto. The conversation flowed effortlessly, covering a wide range of topics, from the intricacies of Filipino slang to the joys of cat ownership (Boaster proudly showed off photos of his feline companions). The meeting culminated in a heartfelt farewell, with BINI expressing their gratitude in Filipino.
