Fnatic will perform well

I think the players they have as replacements are highly underrated

idk man, Derke is like a 1 of 1

Is not really a matter of the subs being good or bad, but more a matter of whether or not the team can perform at their highest level without 2 of their core players.

We all know they are good. But can they have a good chemistry with the team with basically 2 weeks of scrims? Teams in these type of situations either come in too strong or just well below their normal level.

Really have a good feeling about fearoth, inspite of really liking BraveAf and what hes done on the team so far.
H1ber tho.... I really don't know. He has a ton of weight in his shoulders . To substitute who is perhaps, one of the top contenders for the best player in the world....
no easy task.
Derke is a complete machine.

Hoping for a fast Derke recovery !

Idk man, you cannot replicate what FNC was doing during the group stage of qualifiers with one, possibly two of your long-standing core players not playing. You have someone new having to adapt asap to their playstyle, other players on FNC adapting slightly to the new players, changing strats, defaults, etc.
Not impossible to win, but highly unlikely.

chemistry issues would be their biggest problem i think.

I think its a VERY SLIGHT firepower downgrade but they should be fine. Biggest problem would be how the players integrate with the team and how the chemistry turns out

True. So little amount of people know these players or have watched their games so they instantly rate them low. And who knows that type of LANimal H1ber or Fearoth could be.
