This champions, I have seen multiple people and creators put FNC top 3 in this tournament., but...why? FNC have not been good this year, they really struggled in the beginning and even though they won EMEA in Stage 1 we havent seen them preform in an international.
I even saw people saying that FNC would stomp G2, which in insane. G2 is objectively better than fnatic in practically every metric (calling, aiming, defense, plays, coordination, communication etc) so I genuinely dont understand these peoples logic.
I think some people need to get over their bias for fnatic, I know they are a fan favorite and everything, but this is 2024 FNC we are talking about and not 2023 FNC.

I feel like one argument I have seen is that fnatic has more experience than a lot of these teams, that they have a "we can always come back" mentality.. but thats not what they showed today. Of course, i dont want to base my opinion off of one match but it was obvious that they were freaking out (or "sh*tting the bed" like how Boaster put it) and not focused at all. If they were so nervous for a playoff game, what about in an elim game?
Fnatic just seems like one of those teams that dont really care that much.

Also i found it funny that SEN was voted for most overhyped, which is true, they are overhyped but still won masters Madrid, fnatic hasnt won anything...

(No hate to the players, ofc they are all incredible just my opinion)
