how 😭 that’s literally what happened
my two cents is that this baiter argument is dumb, if you have teammates willing to bait for you because they believe you’re capable of getting their trade (especially on attack in which a 4v4 favors them) then why not use that
aspas and derke are both top-tier players that 8/10 times can guarantee a trade while also taking space, and obviously it works well for both teams

they did have a better season
two lans made + two regional wins
The funny part is that he's a middle of the pack EMEA duelist, but Fnatic is so overrated that you are not allowed to say anything bad about any of the players on the team (even Boaster who is arguably the worst player to ever touch the game).
If you swap Derke out for any Tier 2 duelist, this team does not get worse, it probably looks better. This is the problem with playing in a region that has never had any real star players. It's the same reason you see insane glazing for support players like Leo, Alfajer, and ReiNs. They just dont have the caliber of players that the other regions do. We'll never see a yay, demon1, aspas, KK, Jingg from EMEA, they just don't have it in them.
Is derke the problem with this team? Of course not, they have no coaching staff and their IGL is an NA plat.
But to compare him to actual generational talent like aspas is not only delusional, but disrespectful to players like aspas that really are a step above the competition.

regionals 😭😭😭 aka: the team liquid award
Winless at Shanghai (Lev also did better against fut, last two maps came down to 2 rounds each, fnatic got cooked maps 2 and 3) ->
5/6th at Champs (high chance of getting grouped if they were in any other group) vs 3rd (podium finish) with a win over 2nd and a very close loss vs the winner (Fnatic also got cooked vs Heretics in a bo3)
