Bottom 4 EMEA IGL(from VCT Challengers) frag wise but his impact in and outside the server beyond that is core to why Fnatic are a top team; his calling, strat development and work ethic are up there with the best players in the scene. His individual performance hasn’t been bad enough to be the reason why they lose on average but if he puts up double digit ACS numbers consistently then his position on the squad should be reconsidered.
2 subs is too much.
even one might bring a lot of bad timmings, com probles etc.
Fearoth was good tho, wich gives me a bit of hope.
if they win agains zeta (wich i think they can do) Derke will be able to join for the rest of the games as his quarentine ends on wednesday.
then fnc will have a better chance, but still. ma boy brave is soo good. he fitted in the team like a glove ...
You cannot tell with 100 accuracy to what extent the masch was a result of fnatic faults or nip mertis,
but you can't deny this is NOT the same fnatic we saw on the group stage of challangers.
where are the fine and coorditated strats? where are the smal micro plays? flashes through smokes?
traps on mid ascent? shook darts to heaven with kj ult to funnel enemies?
where is the 80+ kills on a bo3 duelist?
dude... comon
Then again, they're playing with 2 stand-ins, which isn't easy at all. Not to take away any merit from NIP though, they played absolutely beautifully, and had the coordination well drilled in them as well, but maybe if Derke and Braveaf were here it wouldn't have been a 2-0 wipe. Seeing their performance yesterday, I wouldn't have been surprised if NIP managed to beat FNC even with Derke anr Braveaf.
