They Defined a entire half of the year, they cant win it all but mad respect to them. I hope we see them again next yr
tbh this run from FNATIC was not that impressive. They had 1 good win against DRX.
They beat Zeta (the by far worst team at the event), BLG twice, and then DRX. they lost to LOUD twice in relatively convincing fashion when you think about the fact that Fnatic won both of the internationals this year.
After 3 years FNC finally won a masters like SEN did. Idc about the "oh teams were still bad then everything was easy", there's bad teams before and bad teams today. But just like SEN, FNC couldn't close out at champs, if there were 2 masters who knows if they would even win the 2nd masters.
I like the current roster and they should try again next year.
fr, they were the best but never stopped working hard. So many times we see players underperform right after winning a event cuz they get lazy (Zombs, Shahzam, Most of Acend) but FNC this entire year (even excluding lock/in) worked insanely hard during reg season, tokyo and even if they had a "less impressive run" at champs top 4 is still top 4.
