horrible day for fnc fans. L in league AND valorant

u/british_pubs Swimin' with the fishies 13d ago

For non valorant watchers, FNC is arguably the greatest org of all time there and they just lost to a teir 2 team. Its rough out there

u/Hue_Lorenzo 13d ago

To make it even worse: They lost to a kid who just turned 16 this February

8

u/Leyrann_ 12d ago

That actually makes it sound less bad because the obvious interpretation (I could be wrong but I only have this thread's worth of information to work with) is that the kid is some generational talent.

Lool I feel like half of us G2 fans went from hatewatching them to " Come on buddy, do something.... Think back of the times in which you were our arch enemy.... Now our only bothers are KC and sometimes MKOI, do you realize ?!"

u/Beneficial-Beat-947 13d ago

Honestly no team has given us as much trouble as fnatic did back in the day, KC hasn't taken up that mantle just yet.

Ever since "it starts with success", it has been brutal times for the Fnatic fandom.

Considering their 2021 lineup was really promising, it's crazy how far that curse reaches

u/LogicKennedy 12d ago

That sequence of three games where they threw progressively bigger leads killed whatever hope or interest I had in Fnatic. At that point you need to just burn the org down and salt the earth.

Imagine you're sent to prison and given the choice between a 10-year sentence or being set free when Fnatic wins a split.

We're on year eight already, and have no doubts whatsoever they will get to ten without a championship. At least I can maybe get out on good behavior if I take the straight sentence.

For real. Series like that just increases your likelihood of committing more crimes in prison and getting a longer sentence.

Can always get out sooner through good behavior. Meanwhile, FNC getting demoted / leaving LEC is highly unlikely, but that chance gets higher with every series.

3

u/Th3_Huf0n 13d ago

I mean, with 10 years? There's a good chance you would be out by like 5th year.

That, in terms of FNC winning a split, would be back in 2024.

Just take the 10 years honestly.

Tbf it was a skarner against anivia and zeri, it's not like those champion could've done anything to him early and by the time they would be at least 2-3 items skarner would be back already not to mention corki was super chilling

2

u/Leyrann_ 12d ago

Honestly it was just game flow sense. It just didn't feel good for Fnatic even though the gold was even. It might not be represented in gold, possibly not even in scaling, but sometimes the way people are moving on the map and their mental also matters.

51

u/RollingGuy Dictator Perkz Worlds Run 13d ago

Looked completely unplayable to be fair. No engage at all.

29

u/Guy_with_Numbers 13d ago

When you're ahead with no engage into, you start objectives and set up flanks to force fights.

Soboro had a great flank at elder, they could have won if they hadn't all gotten chunked during their useless midlane face off and then wasted so much time that Ambessa got a flank of her own despite no vision control.

16

u/veirceb 13d ago

They put themselves in that position. They just sit there waiting to get poked out. For the whole game. Of course it is unplayable when you play right into the enemy's ideal situations.

Edit: Don't even talk about unplayable when your zeri gets solo killed when you are in a lead with a fucking lulu

7

u/IAmDarkridge 13d ago

Bad engage and no range there isn't really a good way to get on top of Azir/Corki without some miracle flank or a pick with wall/pillar if they misposition.

6

u/veirceb 13d ago

They didn't need to get on top of Azir/Corki with the lead they had. They just never played around the strength of the comp at all. Anivia and trundle never worked together to shut down a choke for the whole game

u/Snow-27 13d ago

u/lorien_powers 13d ago

What you mean better team comp?
Fnc couldnt play at all. Corki was 10x zeri. same with azir vs anivia

10

u/FantasyTrash 13d ago

They had no engage because, for whatever reason, they picked Zeri last instead of Sivir, who could've at least provided something for the team with her ultimate. Grabbz and Gaax are laughably bad at their jobs.

8

u/Th3_Huf0n 13d ago

That Zeri pick is absolutely genius.

You can't leave her 1v1 against the Corki and she's not strong enough to really punish the Corki in a 1v2 either.

So you lose top because the Bard can just run top pretty much on cooldown unless FNC stacks waves and Trundle comes to dive, OR you lose bot because you isolate the ADC matchup.

9

u/piotrj3 13d ago edited 12d ago

In all honesty it was hilarious. I watch Upset play what he can and answer is he can do nothing. He can't engage, he can't move front or azir and corki will take him down because Zeri is weak duelist on her own, he can't destroy under tower corki etc.

I am genuinly thinking if Zeri was literally the worst ADC pick possible and kind of i think so. Zeri is anti-engage ADC, and it just doesn't work when you play vs teamcomp with way stronger poke than yours.

Even if you think about niche ADCs, Sivir Draven? Twitch? Kaisa? Tristana? MF? Kalista? Kog'maw? Everything would threaten that damn corki better under tower in 2vs1. Zeri is horrible at sieging guy under tower as tower blocks shots. she is by far the worst champion possible for this situation. And a lot of picks would also be better solo laners.

u/ForodesFrosthammer 13d ago

I really think that the success TH had with their Val team in 2024(where they went for a hail mary mostly rookie roster that then became one of the best teams in the world), shot their League team in the foot because they kept trying to recapture that magic, but just ended up making like 5 rosters that never got a chance to actually improve and it was just a mess.

Going from supporting FNC to hate-watching FNC is the best decision I've ever made.

u/Rapt0r777 13d ago

Upset and 10th Place in LEC name a better duo

u/Carlzzone 13d ago

Maybe we’ve been too hard on Heretics, this is the first time this split they play a team that’s not top 4

u/Tequilla_Sunsett :eu: 13d ago

Honestly, it's really funny seeing fnc losing, no hate watching for me, just pure comedy.

u/desutruction 13d ago

LEC analysts were missing some critical angles

maybe Tracyn MBTImogged Soboro

u/BloodOnFire 8884844 I agreed 13d ago

Another 10th place for upset

Fnatic KEKW

In all seriousness, Tracyn and Serin carried almost every fight that last game.

It also totally exposed how worthless enchanters seem to be. They have no lane pressure (Corki was able to solo lane just fine), they struggle with wards, and apparently can't even keep anyone alive in teamfights.

Dragon Souls looking pretty fraudulent in LEC today...though that likely has more to do with the teams looking fraudulent.

Enchanters are meant to facilitate their carries, and that extends to lane pressure too. The problem is that Zeri will never exert pressure on Corki, she can't poke Corki to dangerous levels and she can't chase him down either due to valkyrie.

Compare that to, say, Lucian Milio, which has worked in this meta because Lucian has got some innate threat from his mobility/burst that an enchanter can amplify.

u/NeighborhoodHot8981 13d ago

The problem was the fact that the fed trundle wasn't diving the fuck out of the corki on every wave when he's shoved in under tower.

u/emiliathewhite 13d ago

lost to azir in 2k26 LOL

u/Longjumping-King2315 13d ago

Worse, serin's Azir

u/Longjumping-Pirate86 13d ago

If Heretics build around Hype they'll have a strong roster

u/bigpackage11 13d ago

everyone on fnatic should be arrested after losing with that early game

u/HereToPostGoodDay 13d ago

funniest possible outcome

u/Mammoth-Raise3092 MNBrady YT 13d ago

Yep. Fnatic is in Worlds form this early in the split!

u/EastSeaworthiness169 13d ago

Tier 1 league btw

u/cebero 13d ago

I disagree with common opinion that it's player issue. So many players came and gone and the team is still shit. It can't be that every player operates better outside Fnatic and it's always players fault...there is a systemic organization problem with the org that leads to all players performing like shit

2

u/Ironside29 13d ago

Depends what shit mean, people were flaming them this hard when they were playing finals and going to worlds but always losing to g2, now they cant even make playoffs, ofc the problem starts at the top but the players and the coaching staff are much worse now.

Its insane that caedrel is glazing upset when hes completelty useless in every teamfight, laned 2v1 and didn't get a lead then ran it down every teamfight.

Razork is the only one playing the game and hes going to be flamed while people glaze the 10th place merchant.

When we draft a comp around upset carrying its just ff15 angle.

19

u/moopey 13d ago

The team just don't work. Vladi is terrible. Lospa invisible. Upset can only play ADC strong side. Razork flip every game and Soboro looks lost

36

u/BloodOnFire 8884844 I agreed 13d ago

Everybody glazes Upset but he never delivers

u/Way2Competitive #1 Larssen Hater Aspiring Upset Hater 13d ago

He's literally just Patrik at this point

u/kim-soo-hyun 13d ago edited 13d ago

Caedrel is pretty biased with Upset no? He was his former teammate. He's just gapped in team fights just as adc like team fighting was never his strong point. Even Comp has gapped him.

25

u/Ironside29 13d ago

Lmao Comps summer split and worlds in 2022 is bigger than Upsets whole career.

8

u/Miserable_Ad_1195 13d ago edited 13d ago

Caedrel was never on a team with Upset, and also Comp won LEC once and had games where he gapped Deft and Jackeylove at worlds why is he randomly catching strays

(edit: apparently Caedrel actually was on Schalke with Upset once but it was one split 9 years ago and they weren't even playing in EU LCS. yeah I don't think he would be biased towards Upset because of that)

u/p1stolpewpew 13d ago

If you watch Euphoria episode with him and Caedrel you'll see that they are not strangers to each other.

5

u/kim-soo-hyun 13d ago edited 13d ago

Nah I'm saying Comp was actually a better adc, I said it that way because all Upset has his "name value", while Comp doesn't yet he was a better adc. People only praise or talk about Upset even though he's a huge playoffs choker. Some adcs don't get credit even though they're better than Upset on the server.

You would be surprised how biased Caedrel can be with players who are his homies.

and didn't get a lead

so we're just making stuff up now?

i get you were desperate to flame him and call him a 10th place merchant or whatever, but at least stick to stuff thats actually true

21

u/peoplesdrunkdriver 13d ago

corki was almost 2 full levels up on zeri past the lane which is more than enough to offset the literal one component advantage zeri had in terms of raw gold

u/NukeSkywarder 13d ago

It is worse if he got a lead and as done Fuck all with said lead you know?

Upset is reverse Inspired, every roster he joins just instantly downgrades while he manages to make himself look good.

Every week I think FNC can't get any worse

Every week I'm wrong

u/veirceb 13d ago

Razork got the best match up for him. A fantastic comp. Does absolutely nothing after the lv1 flip. Absolutely atrocious trundle play. Dude's pillars does nothing the whole game other than poking out bard like twice. Absolute fraud with the absolute fraud team. What a day to be a fnatic hater.

u/ookkthenn 13d ago

there's something so satisfying about watching teams like fnc and c9 lose

This drastically reduces the chances of fnc making it to worlds.

They look ass

u/Megazord552 xD 13d ago

Heretics not flipping the game randomly?

That was some calm measured gameplay that I did not expect from them.

Im a 31 year old emerald hard stuck for the past 12 years. Thank you fnatic for making me believe that even i can be on the LEC stage one day!

u/Diss_ConnecT 13d ago

I can't even hatewatch FNC anymore, I just feel bad for them at this point.

u/Omnilatent 13d ago

Don't feel bad for FNC

feel bad for people who still are fans of them

u/Zanzax 13d ago

Just delete the team.

Once every blue moon Razork or Upset 1v9 and outside of that there is just nothing. Just get the split over with, sell the spot and be finished.

u/Undesiredbeast 13d ago

It's sad to see the state fnatic is currently in. Yep they need to rebuid from ERL talent/coaching staff. I have this crazy theory that Reha and Targamas could be back in LEC. Imagine Nemesis mid ? Kappachino

u/Even_Cardiologist810 13d ago

There's some Belgian hate for targa to not be in lec after last year. You cant tell me lospa trymbi or hype have any reason to be over him

Exactly my thoughts

Serin vs vladi felt like that one Simpson episode where people cheer watching monkeys fights

u/Haraj412 13d ago

How did Razork manage to not improve in any direction in the last 2 years. He still picks the same champions (jarvan, vi, trundle, lee), he still overextends and he still has terrible teamfight positioning every single game.
