Bro Jun isn't a great fit for FNC , they need a shot caller support, thru out history FNC had success when they had support players that dictate the game (hyli , yellow star ) Jun is guy you plays good but never communicate, the only thing he must be saying in-game is " i am going in " . Keep razors and Noah and build around them and don't fucking import a support for fuck sake
I can't find any reason to watch LEC next year, I can't even do it to "support my region" because we all know there will be two koreans per roaster. What is the point if LPL/LCK have better format, better drafts, better players, better laning phase, better teamfights...
The thing is they HAD that guy last year who can direct the map, was pretty vocal and also fluent on English. At this point it is a Humanoid Razork problem, not pieces around them. Toplaners, coaches, supports, ADCs, all changed around them, the main problem is still there, so who do you point fingers at now? I don't know coms cuz we don't have them but from eye test alone Humanoid is not that macro genius shotcaller that people are painting him to be and I might need more than fingers on both my hands and legs to count how many disaster plays Razork made in mid-late game destroying all of his genius early plays. "We've had some confidence issues, but I've been pushing us to be more proactive [...] I take a lot of responsibility" from his interview. Yeah, so you drafted GenG comp to play it like FNC. No shit you get stomped
It’s a humanoid problem. Razork is good. FNC should just build around him and kick humanoid asap. Kick Noah. Kick Oscarinin. Maybe keep Jun if they import another Korean adc. Or else kick Jun aswell. Unfortunately they can’t get Jackies otherwise it’s their best choice.
@@aaawa2074 The problem is Huma got a huge ass contract in 2022 or smth and therefore his buyout is enormous so changing him is hard. But honestly they just need a guy on any role that will say "stop fucking inting by running at them. We are winning, play the map steadily" AND those mfkers have to listen to him. Cuz I can say for sure Razork and Huma were definitely not listening to those calls from whoever the shotcaller was and we have seen enough of their disasterclass of macro if they are the main voices. You can change any other pieces around them till then but until they get a shotcaller that will be listened to and is smart about the game those changes ain't leading anywhere
Like some of their plays I just dont get, like with the better teams its like "Wait.. this works? Oh my bad I gues it does", but with fnc its mostly "Wait.. theres no way this works.. yeah thought so wtf are they doing" xd
Fnc coaching staff be like : we ban yone he is to strong. Then humanoid or razork: we stomped every yone in scrims he is no problem just pick smolder so easy Coach: we have a strat. Humanoid: easy i counter him . Coach: we wanted creme to pick syndra so we can go ahri or azir. Razork. I trust humanoid. Team picks smolder and ksabte into rumble. Coach: guys this doesnt look good. We have no good adc left. Razork: no problem noah is good on jhin. Cosch : no seju will fck him. Humanoid: i am smolder i have dps. Coach: okay do your thing farm and scale we win the long run. Humanoid keeps intimg the game. Interview: Humanoid: yeah we needed to ban yone but coaching staff failed the draft 🤡
I am FNC fan and it hurts that they are flamed so much but it is true that they are bad. I dont know how is it possible that after that long time they have played together, they seem to not improve much. I mean they are individually skilled players, but something just doesnt click in this roster, everytime they show up they are making different mistakes almost as if they forgot what they learned before and then its just vicious cycle of learning and forgetting or idk. I love their personalities but tbh if they wanna be competitive they should maybe make some roster changes, and I agree that they should bring someone smart about the game, I heard that humanoid is doing all this macro thing even in reviews but his personality is not ideal for teaching others and calling what everyone should do in the game. Although i think that FNC was so shit few years back and then they made their way to atleast 2nd best team in LEC, lately they have not been improving at the same pace as before so I say change SOMETHING in the roster.
Unironically, bring Nemesis back, and let him write the cheque. And get rid of the fraud in the bot lane (although he's been decent for his standards at Worlds).
Honestly the longer you look at this draft the worse it is for Fnatic. I am pretty sure the combination of Yone/Rell/Rumble has a 100% winrate in this tournament. It's like a wombo combo, but without the need for the enemies to mess up. Then you have MF for even more AOE dps... So basically if at any point 2 or more people clump up together, they get insta killed.
I'd love to see a fnc team of bwipo, inspired, nemesis, smash, rekkless... Would bang but no way it would ever happen.. Realistically, I don't see fnc improving much over the next year or 2
@@marcinjankowski4432I might be misremembering but I think Heretics were looking to get either Wunder and Perkz or Nemesis and Bwipo, both as a package deal and Perkz signed earlier to give wunder a team. I forget where that was said, I think his Sack Down So Bwipo Nemesis are up for playing together again. In Bwipos big rant he said that he thinks Nemesis is great, he just had a different vision for the team when they played together so they clashed
My biggest problem with the current roster is that they just don't care if they win or lose. Those players aren't locked in or let me say most of them. Winning mentality isn't there and if they don't change anything, I don't see FNC win anything in the near future tbh. Who to swap? I mean, in my opinion I would definitely get rid of Oscar, Humanoid and probably Jun too. Jungle and ADC are just fine I guess. Man I miss the good old times with this team. I feel like it's hard to somehow build a connection to those players since they seem like to not give a fuck about anything.
Lackluster coaching staff, the players themselves are capable but it's just a mess as a whole with the entire org. Nemesis is living proof of how egregious they get
FNC always does the group mid thing and lose thing and always make the same mistakes mid game. I don't really see a change in how they lose, shouldn't the players and coaches address this issue? But giving free draft is just criminal, it is like setting yourself behind before the game even started
This isnt the worst line up to begin with. And they arent bad. But they are soo damn coin flip. They really need to switch out somone. Humanoid is good but i think they need a nisqy or something. Right now they could take anyone and just put that player in mid.. Damn that contract they have with human most be turbo solid and unbreakable
Get Crownie + Trymbi for botlane, both proven domestically and had better international performances than Noah + Jun, and have trymbi shotcall. Potentially get a new toplaner as well, but there arent many better choices than oscarinin rn
The games feel like there is no direction given. The player´s micro is fine. Not Top-Tier, but they could win games, if the macro would get adressed. Humanoid getting catched over 9000x times every single game. Razork overforcing every mid-game, Oscar having crazy incosistencies in his playstyle. Noah and Jun are making the least mistakes. But in the End you cant really see who is making the macro calls in FNC. Maybe no one and its just Soloq.
I usually get off the stream when Dom "hates" on FNC because I just don't want to feel negativity that much. But man this is so true. It's to the point where, I feel uncomfortable and disgusted watching FNC.
Not a fan of any team, but i gradually became a fnc hater after the disgusting 0-3 final choke, i expected much more from them than all these inting moments
I haven't had iwd on my radar that much yet but I really have to say I've listened to a few takes from him and he really has solid well thought-out and comprehensible takes
Its disgusting that an asian team can sprint with no care whatsoever against a western team because they knew they will be able to win later in the game. Just ff15 at this point.
@@semnejlepsi8983 it changed slightly with mid adc weaker(which he spammed during the last season, he only played like 3 mids lol). I know humanoid plays those champions but it's like he's newbie all over again cause he didn't spammed them for a season
You just told us you never watched their international games buddy, if anything huma is known to perform the best internationally compared to regional games, so what are you saying :D
no...that wont be enough at this point. Theyre just ALL not consistent....but worse. NOT INTERESTED enough. They play like they are here to have fun or something. AT WORLDS....its disgusting to me. And im not even a fnc fan. Im the exact opposite. Im a g2 fan for YEARS. I am a G2 fan since when FNC was still ON TOP....just think about that. AND EVEN I can not with this team anymore.
oscar just does nothing useful, ive been singing all year that hes horrible. they have had two awful worlds with him. but yeah i think JUN RAZORK are main stays maybe huma, but yeah oscar is just useless
I don’t know why Wunder has to let go lol. They choose Oscar over him. I live in Asia but I love LEC and a Fnc fan after 2018 the org was not fnc anymore.
Been a fnatic fan since day 1. I love this team. They are so bad tho. I was also a Humanoid fan since before he joined FNC. But he is bad. Plain and simple. I legit think a player like Perkz who isnt that good anymore at the game, meaning he is not the best player in europe he used to be at his peak, would make this team better just because of his game knowledge. And I think recent years made him drop his ego which is something Humanoid needs to do asap, but unfortunately i dont think he is capable of doing.
They should either get back upset hyli and sign nemesis back because hyli and nemesis loved playing together. Or just get nisqy/vetheo(Vetheo and razork played insanely well together) and then keep jun noah. Oscar idk, good mechanics no macro.
vetheo is terrible, plays like selfish 2019 chovy and fools people like you cuz he looks good while he leaves his team out to dry nisqy cant keep up internationally because there isnt a player he can funnel who can make up for his deficit vs eastern players (maybe peak inspired or selfmade who both dont exist anymore lol), hes shown time and time over the years that he cant win lane nemesis was okay but is probably out of practice after so long, and it isnt as if he was ever at caps level despite what rose tinted glasses will tell you eu doesnt really have good midlaners anymore, but it sucks bc lpl and lck dont have a surplus of good mids u can afford either, the best u can do is like karis or fate or haichao if you really really offer big money and theres an expiry date on their skill level since theyre taking money to lane vs at best nuc and jackies lol

@@FranLorian massive ego? he doesnt want to join any team he thinks wont win. that has nothing to do with ego, he makes more money from streaming its just heart wrenching to lose when your ambitions are high why would they want to go through that with a sub-par team when he knows the outcome?
had similar thoughts, but for me it was time for huma and razork to go. keep the Korean bot lane, oscar is still relatively new, but maybe he can work on his decision-making and macro once razork is gone, since they have the Spanish connection
I disagree. I think Razork is the only good player on this team. Huma and Oscar are both extremely inconsistent but they are bad more often than they are good. Noha is just not that good in general. This was the worst Jhin I have seen all torunament. Jun idk. He is not terrible but he is also not outstanding. I thin kick everyone but Razork. Including the coaching staff because they obviously don't know what they're doing.
There's no way you are keeping Oscar hahahah The dude is getting gapped left and right, he isn't a rookie anymore, he is a solo laner if he shows no signs of life in 2 years he should go
The PRC Chinese own the game. You think it's not rigged when that much money is on the line ? Are American Foolball games rigged ? Are European futbol games rigged. Anytime there's big money on the line=rigged. Don't bash them. Don't bash the players or coaches, you have no idea of the realities.
FLY played a scaling comp against PSG and played towards their win conditions. Them "nearly losing" was simply them playing towards the strength of their comp. The main reason FLY won was they giga outdrafted PSG. FNC played a somewhat scaling comp and used their scaling Smolder to TP flank without scaling. The main reason FNC lost is they giga outdrafted themselves into a losing position. Hope your shallow mind can comprehend all this kid
@@javi4591 FNC literally played an extremely hard scaling comp, two hyper-carry AD laners with 3 tanks. Them trying to fight on instinct repeatedly, not playing to the strengths of their own champions is the reason why everyone is bashing on them. The draft was quite horrible (giving creme yone at any point), but they didn't even understand the identity of their own champions - so honestly don't know if to blame coaching staff or their own in game decision making...
@@rexah5452 the thing about their scaling comp is that it's not even a good comp to begin with. They're full AD (smolder is no longer a good semi AP champ) and Kasante is not that good against vs Rumble on side. They giga out-drafted and played like a pick comp. But honestly their macro is the worst. They couldn't determine that investing too many resources to pick off Rumble on sidelanes was not worth it when enemies have 6 grubs. Of course they'll loose 3 towers in 2 minutes or so when they all go to kill the rumble on side and enemies start crossmaping
@@basilfarrage9335 nemesis was not better than humanoid no matter how bad humanoid might be...nemesis also has way more draw backs OUTSIDE the game that you entirely suppressed as it seems?
Funny enough, this was also my take last season, i mean year after the league ended. I sincerely think they just need someone like Armut on MAD. Like indiviudally, dude wasnt that good, not bad either but the macro and teamfight knowledge of him literally carried MAD imo. He even nearly changed the DWG Mad series either. So as you see, not every player, especially if they arent Mid or Adc should have super crazy mechanics lol. People dont understand teamsports in general. Any teamsports you talk about, doesnt matter, you will ALWAYS gonna need very good players and players that can enable them. With that MAD roster, Humanoid seemed like fuckn Faker and Elyoya was just smurfing, Kaiser was great and Carzzy even was considered as Nr1. And after they didnt have Armut on their top, every player seemed worse individually. And thats because of what i said. Armut is imo, one of the BEST ENABLER in the west. Sadly unlike Asia, West doesnt care about teamplayers. TLDR, Being able to carry is a talent and being able to enable other players is also ANOTHER talent. If you build a team as 5 "carry" players, that sadly lacks that enabling talent, then you see games like these and even worse than these. TBH LCS was always like this prob because of the general american "hype" culture but LEC respected and used players like i described. Over years, i realised that viewer generation changed and these people just doesnt understand strategy and therefore MOBA. They were trying to play Counter Strike on League lol. Find a player like Armut, change it with Oscar, then imo change keep the bot lane and the rest.
No one in the community actually considers the west a world champ region. The only reason they won was because LCK and LPL haven't touched the game at that time lol. Have you ever seen their skins used in a pro game at worlds? Nope. Because no one respects that win. Have you ever heard of the main broadcast mention that EU has won worlds before? Nope. Because it doesn't matter. This statement is so dumb and so far off the point of this rant.
@@javi4591 they were the best team in the world that year, thats why they have 5 skins in the game, what if now a new region dominate worlds for 10 years and lpl, lck anf everyone else cant do anything, u dont recognize lck and lpl titles because that region didnt play those years? Ur logic is stupid
@@nicolasaros3533 what new region? Africa? The point is, you shouldn't be flaunting FNC season 1 skins (ugly ass skins btw) in this conversation when it's so far off the topic at hand. This FNC team in season14 has good players with zero macro. ZERO! And most of, if not all the points Dom has made are true. The most painful part is they've kept the core of this team for almost 3 years (kinda like T1 roster) and they have almost no improvement in every facet of the game. Their couches don't even draft like they believe in the players strengths. So again, why should I respect this team just because they happened to win during the prehistoric times of the game when they competed in Phreaks basement? Sure, I do have respect for the Org (they birthed 2 of the most legendary EU players in Caps and Rekkles and had the greatest rivalry in the west with G2 Perks vs FNC Caps) but this team? Hell no!

Basically, as bad as the EU teams are there are no better players to sub
Noah and his thousands of pro games need to be studied to understand his standards, they were horrendous
@@toniyakovlev4403 oh trust me there are good eu players to form a second good team besides g2
Bro Jun isn't a great fit for FNC , they need a shot caller support, thru out history FNC had success when they had support players that dictate the game (hyli , yellow star )
Jun is guy you plays good but never communicate, the only thing he must be saying in-game is " i am going in " .
Keep razors and Noah and build around them and don't fucking import a support for fuck sake
I can't find any reason to watch LEC next year, I can't even do it to "support my region" because we all know there will be two koreans per roaster. What is the point if LPL/LCK have better format, better drafts, better players, better laning phase, better teamfights...
The thing is they HAD that guy last year who can direct the map, was pretty vocal and also fluent on English. At this point it is a Humanoid Razork problem, not pieces around them. Toplaners, coaches, supports, ADCs, all changed around them, the main problem is still there, so who do you point fingers at now? I don't know coms cuz we don't have them but from eye test alone Humanoid is not that macro genius shotcaller that people are painting him to be and I might need more than fingers on both my hands and legs to count how many disaster plays Razork made in mid-late game destroying all of his genius early plays. "We've had some confidence issues, but I've been pushing us to be more proactive [...] I take a lot of responsibility" from his interview. Yeah, so you drafted GenG comp to play it like FNC. No shit you get stomped
It’s a humanoid problem. Razork is good. FNC should just build around him and kick humanoid asap.
Kick Noah.
Kick Oscarinin.
Maybe keep Jun if they import another Korean adc. Or else kick Jun aswell.
Unfortunately they can’t get Jackies otherwise it’s their best choice.
@@aaawa2074 The problem is Huma got a huge ass contract in 2022 or smth and therefore his buyout is enormous so changing him is hard. But honestly they just need a guy on any role that will say "stop fucking inting by running at them. We are winning, play the map steadily" AND those mfkers have to listen to him. Cuz I can say for sure Razork and Huma were definitely not listening to those calls from whoever the shotcaller was and we have seen enough of their disasterclass of macro if they are the main voices. You can change any other pieces around them till then but until they get a shotcaller that will be listened to and is smart about the game those changes ain't leading anywhere
Like some of their plays I just dont get, like with the better teams its like "Wait.. this works? Oh my bad I gues it does", but with fnc its mostly "Wait.. theres no way this works.. yeah thought so wtf are they doing" xd
Let's dive rumble with a smolder, when yone has tp and rell not on map, I wonder what could go wrong!
Fnc coaching staff be like : we ban yone he is to strong.
Then humanoid or razork: we stomped every yone in scrims he is no problem just pick smolder so easy
Coach: we have a strat.
Humanoid: easy i counter him .
Coach: we wanted creme to pick syndra so we can go ahri or azir.
Razork. I trust humanoid.
Team picks smolder and ksabte into rumble.
Coach: guys this doesnt look good. We have no good adc left.
Razork: no problem noah is good on jhin.
Cosch : no seju will fck him.
Humanoid: i am smolder i have dps.
Coach: okay do your thing farm and scale we win the long run.
Humanoid keeps intimg the game.
Interview:
Humanoid: yeah we needed to ban yone but coaching staff failed the draft 🤡
Saw this game live. The whole chat called draft diff before the game started. Pretty bad.
I am FNC fan and it hurts that they are flamed so much but it is true that they are bad. I dont know how is it possible that after that long time they have played together, they seem to not improve much. I mean they are individually skilled players, but something just doesnt click in this roster, everytime they show up they are making different mistakes almost as if they forgot what they learned before and then its just vicious cycle of learning and forgetting or idk. I love their personalities but tbh if they wanna be competitive they should maybe make some roster changes, and I agree that they should bring someone smart about the game, I heard that humanoid is doing all this macro thing even in reviews but his personality is not ideal for teaching others and calling what everyone should do in the game. Although i think that FNC was so shit few years back and then they made their way to atleast 2nd best team in LEC, lately they have not been improving at the same pace as before so I say change SOMETHING in the roster.
the fact that some of you still think humanoid+razork is NOT the problem shows how delusional fnatic fans are
Razork really deserves better icl he’s the best player on the team by far
Unironically, bring Nemesis back, and let him write the cheque. And get rid of the fraud in the bot lane (although he's been decent for his standards at Worlds).
Honestly the longer you look at this draft the worse it is for Fnatic. I am pretty sure the combination of Yone/Rell/Rumble has a 100% winrate in this tournament. It's like a wombo combo, but without the need for the enemies to mess up. Then you have MF for even more AOE dps... So basically if at any point 2 or more people clump up together, they get insta killed.
I'd love to see a fnc team of bwipo, inspired, nemesis, smash, rekkless... Would bang but no way it would ever happen.. Realistically, I don't see fnc improving much over the next year or 2
If this lineup would happen I´d take that as an proof for the existance of a higher power ngl
Bwipo and nemesis in the same team would be a disaster
bwipo blamed rekkles nemesis for fnatic failing back when they played tgt lmao
@@marcinjankowski4432I might be misremembering but I think Heretics were looking to get either Wunder and Perkz or Nemesis and Bwipo, both as a package deal and Perkz signed earlier to give wunder a team. I forget where that was said, I think his Sack Down
So Bwipo Nemesis are up for playing together again. In Bwipos big rant he said that he thinks Nemesis is great, he just had a different vision for the team when they played together so they clashed
swap bwipo with irrelevant and maybe it's a banger
My biggest problem with the current roster is that they just don't care if they win or lose. Those players aren't locked in or let me say most of them. Winning mentality isn't there and if they don't change anything, I don't see FNC win anything in the near future tbh. Who to swap? I mean, in my opinion I would definitely get rid of Oscar, Humanoid and probably Jun too. Jungle and ADC are just fine I guess. Man I miss the good old times with this team. I feel like it's hard to somehow build a connection to those players since they seem like to not give a fuck about anything.
larssen might be the only midlaner that would fit this roster and that is not a import (obviously theyre never getting caps)
That's a good shout he would actually fit in this team quite well. With Razork I reckon he could perform, he has in the past
There is no passion left... It's just a 9-5 job for them. They don't care it seems.
Lackluster coaching staff, the players themselves are capable but it's just a mess as a whole with the entire org. Nemesis is living proof of how egregious they get
FNC always does the group mid thing and lose thing and always make the same mistakes mid game. I don't really see a change in how they lose, shouldn't the players and coaches address this issue? But giving free draft is just criminal, it is like setting yourself behind before the game even started
What the fuck happened to my region man, what happened, these people DONT CARE TO PLAY
There is no passion left... It's just a 9-5 job for them. They don't care it seems.
FNC PERKZ ?????
Dude please no
This isnt the worst line up to begin with. And they arent bad. But they are soo damn coin flip. They really need to switch out somone. Humanoid is good but i think they need a nisqy or something. Right now they could take anyone and just put that player in mid.. Damn that contract they have with human most be turbo solid and unbreakable
There is a mid Laner from Prime league that looks quite strong. His name is Serin but in Lec hes probably mid of the pack.
would love to see serin in the LEC
I dont think one player cuts it, this whole roster needs to go. Maybe you keep Razork, but thats it. Everyone else needs to go
Get Crownie + Trymbi for botlane, both proven domestically and had better international performances than Noah + Jun, and have trymbi shotcall. Potentially get a new toplaner as well, but there arent many better choices than oscarinin rn
Upset - Trymbi is a better fit imo
@@gerry09 fuck Upset, honestly Carzzy is under rated every team hes had even with all inters the guy has played really well and dragged them through.
@@eaglefive7924 Yeah but Carzzy is not FA
Pachycephalosaurus is the Koreans’ pick at describing the play style of FNC, which I believe is completely legit.
If fnatic change the players,but not the management.The result will be the same.
FNC are my favourite team but I was shocked by their game. I get FNC getting outplayed but they had nothing to fall back on.
FNC should hire Dom for drafting man 😂
The games feel like there is no direction given. The player´s micro is fine. Not Top-Tier, but they could win games, if the macro would get adressed. Humanoid getting catched over 9000x times every single game. Razork overforcing every mid-game, Oscar having crazy incosistencies in his playstyle. Noah and Jun are making the least mistakes. But in the End you cant really see who is making the macro calls in FNC. Maybe no one and its just Soloq.
I miss Bwipo Jungle man...
Humanoid’s so lucky to get compared to Caps 😂
I usually get off the stream when Dom "hates" on FNC because I just don't want to feel negativity that much. But man this is so true. It's to the point where, I feel uncomfortable and disgusted watching FNC.
Not a fan of any team, but i gradually became a fnc hater after the disgusting 0-3 final choke, i expected much more from them than all these inting moments
I haven't had iwd on my radar that much yet but I really have to say I've listened to a few takes from him and he really has solid well thought-out and comprehensible takes
Its disgusting that an asian team can sprint with no care whatsoever against a western team because they knew they will be able to win later in the game. Just ff15 at this point.
FNC is such a disappointment :(. Its like they dot even take this seriously....
lmao humanoid needs a season to get used to the midlane meta so he's always bad whenever worlds come and the meta changes
but the worlds meta is EXACTLY what humanoid likes to play??? unlike the rest of the year????
@@semnejlepsi8983 it changed slightly with mid adc weaker(which he spammed during the last season, he only played like 3 mids lol). I know humanoid plays those champions but it's like he's newbie all over again cause he didn't spammed them for a season
You just told us you never watched their international games buddy, if anything huma is known to perform the best internationally compared to regional games, so what are you saying :D
@@Akynam hahahahahaha sure bud what happened i watch lec regularly and he just spams whatever is meta..it changed and suddenly he's shit lmao
Wait what about Trymbi for support??? I think that could be great for this team! 😊😊
no...that wont be enough at this point. Theyre just ALL not consistent....but worse. NOT INTERESTED enough. They play like they are here to have fun or something.
AT WORLDS....its disgusting to me. And im not even a fnc fan. Im the exact opposite. Im a g2 fan for YEARS. I am a G2 fan since when FNC was still ON TOP....just think about that.
AND EVEN I can not with this team anymore.
Nah, the Wunder Razork Humanoid Rekkles Rhuckz lineup was faaaaar worse
And then there is me whos been calling Humanoid bad asf his whole career. He aint good enough even for NA and thats says something. NO HATE OF COURSE.
jackies is the 2nd best mid in europe rn but hes jailed by sk wcyd
oscar just does nothing useful, ive been singing all year that hes horrible. they have had two awful worlds with him. but yeah i think JUN RAZORK are main stays maybe huma, but yeah oscar is just useless
I don’t know why Wunder has to let go lol. They choose Oscar over him. I live in Asia but I love LEC and a Fnc fan after 2018 the org was not fnc anymore.
Time for nemesis 2 come b
Team liquid 0-2 i dont thik they can talk tbh, that team is so garbage, also NA lose to LLA
Been a fnatic fan since day 1. I love this team. They are so bad tho. I was also a Humanoid fan since before he joined FNC. But he is bad. Plain and simple. I legit think a player like Perkz who isnt that good anymore at the game, meaning he is not the best player in europe he used to be at his peak, would make this team better just because of his game knowledge. And I think recent years made him drop his ego which is something Humanoid needs to do asap, but unfortunately i dont think he is capable of doing.
They should either get back upset hyli and sign nemesis back because hyli and nemesis loved playing together. Or just get nisqy/vetheo(Vetheo and razork played insanely well together) and then keep jun noah. Oscar idk, good mechanics no macro.
vetheo is terrible, plays like selfish 2019 chovy and fools people like you cuz he looks good while he leaves his team out to dry
nisqy cant keep up internationally because there isnt a player he can funnel who can make up for his deficit vs eastern players (maybe peak inspired or selfmade who both dont exist anymore lol), hes shown time and time over the years that he cant win lane
nemesis was okay but is probably out of practice after so long, and it isnt as if he was ever at caps level despite what rose tinted glasses will tell you
eu doesnt really have good midlaners anymore, but it sucks bc lpl and lck dont have a surplus of good mids u can afford either, the best u can do is like karis or fate or haichao if you really really offer big money and theres an expiry date on their skill level since theyre taking money to lane vs at best nuc and jackies lol
@@kuru-chan6644 did u even read? I said he was good with razork and they functioned very well
Even got top 4.
@@kuru-chan6644 fnatics best Option is literally nemesis or idk buying out showmaker and getting perkz to play adcs lmfoa
its europe's C9, the coaching staff and owners are clueless. theyre more focused on making content now
They're more focued on valorant, since their team there is actually good
@@elmaster611 this team isn't cheap. Just sell them all and go with a bunch of cheap rookies, the league is franchised so if u lose every game..... Nobody cares
Bring Bwipo back! You'll see how mentality in the team will change! One way or the other!
At this point just beg nemi to come back to FNC
like no cap, hate him or not, last time fnc was even competitive was his era.
Yes beg him to bring back his galio, 5cs per minute against TES.
@@GeorgeSmiley2023 Dude, they almost went to semis in 2020, like what are you even saying?
@@christossaroglou7158 Yes, Knight owned Nemesis, they lost and he got fired.
FNC PowerofEvil :o
Lol, losing vs good teams is not that bad
told you when everyone was blaming Rekkles ans only Rekkles: humanoid low key doesn t care sometimes. Who is fnc going to blame now?
When you seen two games and know bo3 is coming up....
nice bait from the editor again
Get Perkz and Wunder what could go wrong
rant LETSGO
FNC TEAM BOOM
would they ever get dom on the broadcast or is that impossible because of his boosting and toxic past
Perkz to Fnatic im telling you
Oscar needs to go
2016 fnc was worse
They dont play Macro. 😂
Nemesis
unironically, get nisqy back
Nisqy had one of the worst years in his career like wdym
@@MultiQwasar ok, so he underperformed. dom says get someone maybe even weaker but smarter. nisqy is known for being a smart macroplayer who knows how to synergyze with jglers. sounds like a perfect fit for current fnc.
@SaarlaneKretiin I don't rly think so. Change is needed but I don't think Nisqy is the choice
@@MultiQwasar i mean domestically you are either looking at zerkp or nisqy for mid lane. noah is just awful choker but like is he the most pressing problem? nemesis would he the best pickup but we all know that is not gonna happen
For what? Nisqy is a proven non-factor for International tournaments
Just disband and invest the money in the Counterstrike squad. The whole org is cursed when it comes to League. Every single year they send the same clowns with different names. Fnatic can literally buy a LCK spot or LPL spot and advertise their strong brand in the Asian market. Their logo is literally made for the market. There is no point in hiring trolling EU players.
Fnatic bot lane has to go
Johnson Brenda Garcia Anthony Harris Brenda
Lopez Ronald Lewis Mark White John
FNC perkz
humanoid is the worst fnc midlaner of all time
nemesis woulda won these
Too bad he has a massive ego and refuses to join any team that may want him.
thanks for reminding me our 2nd best midlaner isn't even playing pro
@FranLorian too bad he makes money streaming and chilling
@@FranLorian massive ego? he doesnt want to join any team he thinks wont win. that has nothing to do with ego, he makes more money from streaming its just heart wrenching to lose when your ambitions are high why would they want to go through that with a sub-par team when he knows the outcome?
@@schmidthwho reminded you of perkz?
had similar thoughts, but for me it was time for huma and razork to go. keep the Korean bot lane, oscar is still relatively new, but maybe he can work on his decision-making and macro once razork is gone, since they have the Spanish connection
I disagree. I think Razork is the only good player on this team. Huma and Oscar are both extremely inconsistent but they are bad more often than they are good. Noha is just not that good in general. This was the worst Jhin I have seen all torunament. Jun idk. He is not terrible but he is also not outstanding. I thin kick everyone but Razork. Including the coaching staff because they obviously don't know what they're doing.
There's no way you are keeping Oscar hahahah
The dude is getting gapped left and right, he isn't a rookie anymore, he is a solo laner if he shows no signs of life in 2 years he should go
The PRC Chinese own the game. You think it's not rigged when that much money is on the line ? Are American Foolball games rigged ? Are European futbol games rigged. Anytime there's big money on the line=rigged. Don't bash them. Don't bash the players or coaches, you have no idea of the realities.
yes xi called riot to rig the game against dogshit fanatic that lost to mad and let the t1 vs blg game go through
FlyQuest nearly lost to PSG btw lol
FLY played a scaling comp against PSG and played towards their win conditions. Them "nearly losing" was simply them playing towards the strength of their comp. The main reason FLY won was they giga outdrafted PSG.
FNC played a somewhat scaling comp and used their scaling Smolder to TP flank without scaling. The main reason FNC lost is they giga outdrafted themselves into a losing position.
Hope your shallow mind can comprehend all this kid
@@javi4591 FNC literally played an extremely hard scaling comp, two hyper-carry AD laners with 3 tanks. Them trying to fight on instinct repeatedly, not playing to the strengths of their own champions is the reason why everyone is bashing on them. The draft was quite horrible (giving creme yone at any point), but they didn't even understand the identity of their own champions - so honestly don't know if to blame coaching staff or their own in game decision making...
@@rexah5452 the thing about their scaling comp is that it's not even a good comp to begin with.
They're full AD (smolder is no longer a good semi AP champ) and Kasante is not that good against vs Rumble on side.
They giga out-drafted and played like a pick comp.
But honestly their macro is the worst. They couldn't determine that investing too many resources to pick off Rumble on sidelanes was not worth it when enemies have 6 grubs. Of course they'll loose 3 towers in 2 minutes or so when they all go to kill the rumble on side and enemies start crossmaping
Bring Nemesis, Rekkles and Smash
nemesis? Are you high?
@@WhyWouldYouCareYT at this point anyone is better than humanoid, what has he ever done lmao
@@basilfarrage9335 nemesis was not better than humanoid no matter how bad humanoid might be...nemesis also has way more draw backs OUTSIDE the game that you entirely suppressed as it seems?
still better than LCS
EU continues to be a 1 team region.
THE CLOSER MATCH EVER 😂 cope from EU fans coming in
Funny enough, this was also my take last season, i mean year after the league ended. I sincerely think they just need someone like Armut on MAD. Like indiviudally, dude wasnt that good, not bad either but the macro and teamfight knowledge of him literally carried MAD imo. He even nearly changed the DWG Mad series either. So as you see, not every player, especially if they arent Mid or Adc should have super crazy mechanics lol.
People dont understand teamsports in general. Any teamsports you talk about, doesnt matter, you will ALWAYS gonna need very good players and players that can enable them.
With that MAD roster, Humanoid seemed like fuckn Faker and Elyoya was just smurfing, Kaiser was great and Carzzy even was considered as Nr1. And after they didnt have Armut on their top, every player seemed worse individually. And thats because of what i said. Armut is imo, one of the BEST ENABLER in the west. Sadly unlike Asia, West doesnt care about teamplayers.
TLDR, Being able to carry is a talent and being able to enable other players is also ANOTHER talent. If you build a team as 5 "carry" players, that sadly lacks that enabling talent, then you see games like these and even worse than these. TBH LCS was always like this prob because of the general american "hype" culture but LEC respected and used players like i described. Over years, i realised that viewer generation changed and these people just doesnt understand strategy and therefore MOBA. They were trying to play Counter Strike on League lol. Find a player like Armut, change it with Oscar, then imo change keep the bot lane and the rest.
Respect the only EU team with skins in the game, u only can dream about it
No one in the community actually considers the west a world champ region. The only reason they won was because LCK and LPL haven't touched the game at that time lol.
Have you ever seen their skins used in a pro game at worlds? Nope. Because no one respects that win.
Have you ever heard of the main broadcast mention that EU has won worlds before? Nope. Because it doesn't matter.
This statement is so dumb and so far off the point of this rant.
@@javi4591 thats just not true its literally mentioned all the time that they won worlds
@@javi4591 they were the best team in the world that year, thats why they have 5 skins in the game, what if now a new region dominate worlds for 10 years and lpl, lck anf everyone else cant do anything, u dont recognize lck and lpl titles because that region didnt play those years? Ur logic is stupid
@@nicolasaros3533 what new region? Africa? The point is, you shouldn't be flaunting FNC season 1 skins (ugly ass skins btw) in this conversation when it's so far off the topic at hand.
This FNC team in season14 has good players with zero macro. ZERO! And most of, if not all the points Dom has made are true.
The most painful part is they've kept the core of this team for almost 3 years (kinda like T1 roster) and they have almost no improvement in every facet of the game. Their couches don't even draft like they believe in the players strengths.
So again, why should I respect this team just because they happened to win during the prehistoric times of the game when they competed in Phreaks basement? Sure, I do have respect for the Org (they birthed 2 of the most legendary EU players in Caps and Rekkles and had the greatest rivalry in the west with G2 Perks vs FNC Caps) but this team? Hell no! They should disband asap!
Sorry for the rant man. This is coming someone who's fed up of being an fnc fan
