How tf did FNC win? are they actually LANimals? I couldnt watch the game coz i was alseep. How do i explain to my kids that Fnatic managed to beat C9
edit: watching a vod review of FNC and they played really smart
I think it's mainly down to people underestimating them after their mediocre domestic tournements in the past couple months. The random rough comps they played, had people assuming they'd struggle.
fnatic do still have a lot to work out, given they nearly lost two maps from a comeback from 11-7, which they lost 11-13. then the fracture map at 12-6 which they got taken to overtime.

them being a lan team, or c9 having lan jitters. Dont think it was either. There were times both teams looked rough, and times where both teams looked great.
Fnatic players were hitting their shots. Derke was on fire. Even players like Boaster who has looked pretty bad online showed great fragging at times. They just played better than what I expected. They had some great ideas and their comps were nice. While C9 just looked kind of lost and Leaf couldn't get much done. This game almost was 2-0 for Fnatic, but C9 managed to do comeback on Split and almost on Fracture.
All I can say is that I can't wait for Fnatic vs VS Fracture. Both teams seem to be pretty cracked on that map (as long as Fnatic learns to close out games).
