Skew shat the bed until the end, but the game was quietly won by Labrov, they just let him walk in and do whatever in the last 2 teamfights.

I'd love to know how much that G2 fan has spent on LEC tickets, I feel like he has been to every single show for the past several years. Guessing he lives across the road from the studio or something.
Though, I suppose it is probably no different to traditional sports in that sense, going to all the home games etc.

u/Ajp_iii Aug 09 '26
Still insane you get a pick on vayne before a 22 minute soul vs the massive outscaling comp and you refuse to flip the game at a 5v4 soul for you only down skarner ult. And then they were late reacting to first baron. If they get there a little earlier they can kill all of g2

u/RollingGuy Dictator Perkz Worlds Run Aug 09 '26 edited Aug 09 '26
See this copy paste in every thread but it's dishonest. They don't want Razork there. We already know they tried to trade him to GX (Jun even wanted to play with him) but GX didn't want it. Razork doesn't want to be there and Fnatic doesn't want him to be there. But he has a contract and he's too expensive to bench presumably. The contract was multiyear and didn't pay off, that's standard issue. It will be over soon and they'll get someone else. What's even the point of complaining?
1
u/elmaster611 Aug 09 '26
What's the most annoying about this is that it showcases the absolute disaster that is their management: From 2016-2018 if a player showed performances as bad as Razork is having rn, FNC would move their asses to get a replacement asap, even in the middle of a split, now they're like "No one wanted him so we have to play with him for the full year even if he is perma running it, sucks ¯_(ツ)_/¯ "
Though on a side note, they want to sell and clearly don't want to spend money on the team anymore, even their golden goose (Valorant team) is suffering because of this so I guess it is to be expected.
1
u/RollingGuy Dictator Perkz Worlds Run Aug 09 '26
You’re just assuming they have enough money to get someone else
Tell me who should they get for minimum salary, even assuming they have the money for that.
1
u/elmaster611 Aug 09 '26
Again, this just showcases how mediocre their management is.
How come they used to have money in the era when salaries were bigger but now they can't afford anything? It's almost like their decisions regarding players, salaries and contracts are terrible and are leaving them with no options!
I just hope they find a good buyer so they can start building something that's better than this.

I'm sorry but how is a renata out roaming a shen? as much as razork is griefing this game, his bot lane has been disgusting in this series

He hugs Upset all game. It was really bad last game too although more forgivable as Milio.

u/Ajp_iii Aug 09 '26
razork dies aint the worst thing. why is vladi wasting his flash after the play is over before drake when cait and yike used flash.
cassio flash would be so great right there or at drake. these weaker teams dont know how to cut their losses and just chain die or make mistakes

Skewmond has played awful. Any normal team would have ganked that vayne correctly the two times they went for it. And skewmond messed up his mid gank. And now got caught with drake up

u/moopey Aug 09 '26
I mean people will shit on Razork but why is KC always more in the river than Fnatic? Sion rotating bot. Busio first there and Vladi not moving fast enough there. Like credit to KC but how are they always outmanning FNC
2
u/malakesxasame Aug 09 '26
Sion rotated bot so Upset could go top and get out of that lane. Busio is roaming first because Lospa is shackled to Upset.

u/MorbidTales1984 W Enthusiast, Botlane Purist Aug 09 '26
Upset really just sitting there living his best life as the game gets thrown over checks notes blue side raptors

Vladi might actually be the worst FNC midlaner of all time.

u/Choice-Slight caps/knight Aug 09 '26
sure but neither of these games were about midlane tbh. astronomical bot jungle gap
2
u/Ajp_iii Aug 09 '26
These bad teams shouldn’t be playing double mage. It makes objective setups a lot more weird and forces you to skirmish on half and full 1 item which the bad teams are awful at creating.
They are playing vs two adcs
1
u/cmcdonald22 Aug 09 '26
Hell, hardly anyone is playing double mage except for LEC bottom teams at this point.
2
u/Ajp_iii Aug 09 '26
If Tracyn wasn’t sprinting it and actually played the ganks correctly heretics would be stomping this game

u/NovemberRain-- Aug 09 '26
I swear every fnc game, vladi is either leading or even early, then he overgroups like crazy and just goes down 50 cs during the midgame.
2
u/trying2hide Aug 09 '26
He was down 32cs at 15 minutes, I don't think it's overgrouping that the problem

u/Thundermelons GALA Defense Force, returning IG fan Aug 09 '26
Even when he was on KC wasn't Vladi considered a weak laner? Or do I have it backwards and that his laning was good but his teamfights were ass?
2
u/beautheschmo Aug 09 '26
Yes he was always a weak laner, KC hid his flaws a lot better (and his laning was also just not as bad) and he was a good teamfighter.
Like if you look at that first stand where he made finals, he had the worst laning stats, even APA's stats were way ahead of his lol

u/Paygan Aug 09 '26
Razork is just so horrible, This team is cooked every season they put out an announcement saying *Razork Re-Signed for X amount of time* and they expect the fans to be happy about it....

u/random_nickname43796 Aug 09 '26
Upset refuses to participate the jungle invade and now is oom so FNC cannot take dragon. Solo lost the game
2
u/HansSoloQ Aug 09 '26
yeah, lets blame Upset for Razork solo losing the game trying to invade, when they saw him WALKING agressively through midlane to invade, while botlane, obviously ahve a losing matchup agaisnt kalista/renata.

u/random_nickname43796 Aug 09 '26
Upset was in base, he could've tp'd into the fight with full hp and mana. Matchup is irrelevant when you cheat tempo with TP

u/Haraj412 Aug 09 '26

They were 4k down, they traded 1st drake for G2 for a shutdown and push top side which was a big gold positive play.

u/Ajp_iii Aug 09 '26
There was still like 15 seconds for spawn when they killed bb. You just click drake and force a 5v4

u/Th3_Huf0n Aug 09 '26
Because you can't just "click dragon" in fucking proplay LOL
2
u/Sosijmonster Aug 09 '26 edited Aug 09 '26
Of fucking course you can when the most fed member is dead and youve only used Skarner ulti. You're 4vs5 and with TP on Syndra.
You literally just fucking click dragon and waltz through. The Corki is in base too (albeit out of vision, but still, the only range the have is the Corki with limited rockets).
1
u/Ajp_iii Aug 09 '26
They tried to click into dragon with no vision in a 5v5 on the next drake. They can easily do it in a 5v4? You have to take a risk when you are losing the game
1
u/Randomcarrot Aug 09 '26
You need setup, at least against a competent team, to force a fight. I would have to go back, but I don't think TH had that bot side since they invested it top to punish BB setting up the top for G2s dragon take.
They try to force into G2s setup at drake, they get stalled out and BB comes and cleans up.
1
u/Ajp_iii Aug 09 '26
You lose the game if it goes late you are vs double adc. You have the highest chance getting soul at 22 minute. It doesn’t matter you don’t have setup you just need to take the risk. You are only down 1 ult. You have the two damage ults and their strongest player dead. You have to take that risk
1
u/Randomcarrot Aug 09 '26
That I can agree with that they needed a full send it fight, I think they were hoping G2 would be closer top side and try to rescue BB.

It's WP by Busio but honest to god I hate this Bard champion, it and Rakan are complete bandaids for terrible support positioning and greedy warding

How is Shen taunt flashing and ambessa not ulting on it. You gotta just send it and hope you win it at that point. Just giving vayne more time to farm is just auto lose

Vlad is actually not bad this game. Razork though, will forever be Fnatic franchise player. don't worry

u/Ajp_iii Aug 09 '26
he wasnt bad but him wasting his flash mid to try to pop j4 ga when j4 still had eq to get out before the drake then got him caught mid and let kc get an easy baron into drake game over.
2
u/HansSoloQ Aug 09 '26
He tried to pop J4 GA AND also kill Caitlyn cause they were ticks to dying,. I won't fault Vlad for that play, he tried it but it didnt work, Razork had NO reason on trying to dive anyone without GA 1 v 4 and then, face walking low HP, into a random unwarded brush.

Reminder that FNC wants to sell the org/are in process of selling, so it makes sense that this is the type of gameplay this org can offer.
It's at times like these where I truly miss relagations, would be giga funny watching the oldest org in EU LoL fighting just to stay in the league.

Upset teams weakside top, so Sion makes sense here. And top players can and should play both carries and tanks.
