Fnatic have been an absolute beast of a team in the group stage and their biggest test comes in the form of Guild. A team that was mid-tier post Iceland actually did much better in Champs and now have become even better. The reason why they have improved so much is because of one roster change.
Fnatic replaced Doma with Braveaf this year and have been unstoppable smashing the likes of Acend and G2. Doma was a really great flex player, but the problem with Fnatic is that they never had a good Sova player. A good Sova compliments Jett plays which is why Derke is even more consistent nowadays. Boaster was a mid tier Sova, Mistic and Derke too sometimes played Sova for them but somehow it never worked for them. Braveaf has slotted into Sova really well and brings a huge improvement in terms of firepower. This allows Boaster to be their flex player and that has improved his overall performance in terms of fragging. The flex role suits Boaster very well as he can IGL much better. The biggest problem of playing Sova while being an IGL is that you are the primary info gathering agent. That means you have to relay info and also make calls at the same time. Mistic now plays primary smoker for the team and that has hugely impacted his fragging too. Overall Fnatic seems to be in a much better position due to the role swaps they have done and I expect them to make it to Iceland and redeem themselves for last year's failure against Sentinels.
