KEKW i'm all about that spice

FNC 3-1 NU

Their Ascent has been worse than Bind lately, and FNC on Ascent is gonna give them a tough time.

FNC 2-1 SEN

Big banger of a game; FNC on Bind is gonna be scary, ion think SEN will be able to handle it, despite how good they've been playing on Bind recently. The rest of the maps are up in the air. I believe in Derke supremacy.

CR 2-1

Munchkin on Raze is a genuine threat, Neth can switch between duelist and sentinels pretty well, and the team overall is very balanced. V1 coming in with a sub will hinder a lot of momentum, and despite Vanity's IGL'ing and coordination, I don't think V1 will be able to overcome their struggle and be the first team to go to the lower bracket in Iceland.

NUTURN wins gg.

Jupiter does not lose to the same opponent twice in the same tourney.

JUP 3-1 CR

FPX 2-0

They are on another level. I don’t Liquid can outbrain ANGE1 and his crew, and also don’t have enough firepower, except ScreaM, to shut down Zyppan. Scream and team go down to the decider match to play Gambit.

Shame that VS and NUTURN are on the same side of the brackets, because it would’ve been a great finale.

Assuming VS gets their shit together, I think they’ll play F4Q or Rio Company, both teams who really can give VS a hard time.

Tragedy that NUTURN and VS will be a semifinals match and are on the same side of the bracket. If VS gets their shit together, this will for sure be a close game.

T1 2-1 C9

New players take a while to be integrated for C9. Look when Leaf and poiz joined; they were pretty lacklustre in the beginning. Even if Floppy joins, he will take time to adjust.

T1 on the come up, beating FaZe in a close match. We don't talk about Bind, but Icebox and Split were pretty clean by T1.

T1 vs SEN
Even as a T1 fan, they are gonna get rolled.

I can't begin to describe how bad EG look. They need to make changes FAST. Possible solution:

+ARIANARCHIST (Omen)
-Potter (move to coaching)
+Theia and/or Athxna (sentinel players)
Alternate between Osias and Clawdia on Jett.

FNC looks so much better. Derke and Doma are a crazy duo, god damn.

FNC on Bind is always something to behold. So clean and precise, and fun to watch.

You were saying?

Oranges for the win, much more flavour and tang.

NA: TenZ or Asuna
BR: mwzera (no questions)
KR: Rb
EU: Jady (hot take), ScreaM, cNed

ACEND vs NIP

Maybe if T1 gets their shit together and gets someone like dephh, they actually have a chance to qualify.

But realistically, SEN and one of the four in NV, FaZe, 100T and XSET.

fnatic's notable 2021 bind wins:

14-12 ACEND
13-0 DNC (not only on bind but also haven)
13-6 FPX (7-0 T-half)
13-8 Guild
13-6 WAVE (the team that beat FNC in the match later on)
13-1 Giants (11-1 T-half)
13-5 Liquid
And in 2021 alone, FNC lost 3 out of the 19 times they played bind

yeah bro, fnatic's bind's overrated totally

why not XSET?

Honourable mentions also goes to FaZe, Envy and ABSOLUTE Jupiter

EU: FNATIC and FPX

A fellow T1 believer
