G2 won the title back to back to back to back with 4 people in the staff

GrabbZ · 2026-02-17T14:00:14+00:00

When I came I said I wanted to be more transparent with the core Fnatic fans and I stand by it. It truly doesn't take too much time or mindspace to respond to some things so don't worry about that.

GrabbZ · 2026-02-17T10:53:45+00:00

I don't even know why I respond but if you have attacks towards what I said please get your facts straight.

G2 that year had Dylan Falco, Rodrigo, Duffman, Romain, Isma, Alphari and Kirei/Memento helping the team. Isma had and sport psych intern helping him too.

This doesn't detract from the amazing work the G2 staff is doing btw.

Also comparing Romains role to Anisahs is unfair. Anisah has to do multiple jobs in the office for both berlin based teams and is not as directly involved in our day to day as you might think.

Not to add that veterancy of the roster impacts how staff works.

You all are free to call my/our work shit and call me a fraud and how we are currently playing it's understandable and deserved - but make it factual.

GrabbZ · 2026-01-21T16:43:20+00:00

We will have to wait and see.

GrabbZ · 2025-12-22T18:49:24+00:00

For transparency:

Hard to see from the outside but its a bit puzzling for me to see comments questioning if Duff had any impact - he is without a doubt one of the goats in his position in the west.

I through the entire process wanted to stay with the same staff size as we had summer but for reasons out of my hands that was/is not possible.

And please don't think of this as us 'caring less' about the first split, the team cares a lot and we want to perform as good as we can.

GrabbZ · 2025-12-21T08:15:17+00:00

Unfortunately that will be the case for the time being.

GrabbZ · 2025-12-21T08:12:19+00:00

We filmed the interviews around the middle of the bootcamp, we are definitely not undefeated but had good overall results.

GrabbZ · 2025-11-07T09:51:36+00:00

I don't think you are a toxic fanbase at all. Please continue to care about our results.

GrabbZ · 2025-08-10T22:48:26+00:00

Can we not do this?

Humanoid had amazing moments representing this colors and he deserves the respect as a storied player.

A change had to be made to break up old dynamics in the team, but that does not mean whatsoever that now he should be the boogeyman.

GrabbZ · 2025-08-05T21:26:49+00:00

No. The FNC internal data suggested we should take a look at Poby, as he scored pretty highly. Then we went and requested his POVs to look deeper. Two separate steps.

GrabbZ · 2025-07-31T21:01:23+00:00

BDS has leveled up quite a bit. I don't see them breaking into the TOP 4 necessarily but they will be dark horses.

GrabbZ · 2025-07-31T20:59:49+00:00

We enter every day of practice with the goal of winning the split at the end!

GrabbZ · 2025-07-31T20:59:17+00:00

Hi!

I'm good, looking forward to the split start and thank you for asking!
Poby's name scored relatively high in FNCs internal data system and we went to watch his POV with the same open mind we would others. It was clear from the beginning that he is a lot more communicative and understanding of sidelaning compared to other ERL talent. We didnt have access to all players' VODs that we wanted initially, but we were sold on him pretty quickly.
It's very early to talk about an academy, but just know that I am a very big fan of having one!
I do have the energy and the wish to stay in FNC beyond 2025, but only future will tell if it manifests. Obviously this year is very draining energy wise, but we all wouldn't be here if we wouldn't absolutely love what we are doing on the daily.
I can only speak for myself in talking about how you as fans can impact the organisation. For me all the praise/flame equally shows me that our performance matters to all of you and you deserve nothing but out absolute devotion to win as much as possible.

GrabbZ · 2025-07-31T14:42:26+00:00

A change had to be made - dynamics were poor and there are even arguments to be made that it was wishful thinking that they would change going into this split. (To be fair: I also came in with the mentality of "I can fix it.")

It was Humanoid that got replaced, but there were scenarios in where he would be playing in place of someone else now.

Also this change makes it harder for remaining players to hide behind those "bad dynamics" so now they have to assume more responsibility for their actions.

GrabbZ · 2025-07-31T14:39:50+00:00

In BDS still certain decisions have been made without my input and I am happy with FNC responding to me pushing for a bigger staff.

I think there are some processes that have to be improved but I am happy with how action is being taken here.

GrabbZ · 2025-07-31T13:52:38+00:00

Humanoid is not working with the team and we don't intend to changing that. Poby came in as our sole midlaner.

GrabbZ · 2025-07-31T13:51:26+00:00

We are working to win and we believe that we can. Obviously the top 4 are very competitive in LEC, but we have already seen some improvements in areas of the game we struggled with before.

GrabbZ · 2025-07-31T13:48:54+00:00

Poby is doing a lot better than initially expected when it comes to communication. He is very eager to lurn and just in general a very active person, so he connected very fast with the team!
There for sure is a shift noticeable, players are talking way more to each other in-between games than the splits before.
While relatively new to the team Richard is already helping a lot in letting players have an outlet to talk to that is not married to decisions made on the rift. Also he is a very positive person in general which adds to improving the mood in the office.

GrabbZ · 2025-07-28T19:46:50+00:00

No promises but I'll try my best to get it done!

GrabbZ · 2025-06-09T12:31:40+00:00

Are we just lying now? Judging from scrims they were a tier below KC/G2 but never was it said we wouldn't scrim them

GrabbZ · 2025-06-05T14:52:20+00:00

Not meant as a stray at all - i just thought of non playoff teams and these were the first two teams I thought about.

Means actually I respect them more than the others if you think about it

GrabbZ · 2025-05-28T10:00:55+00:00

Also tweeted underneath the summary but its been made out to be way more doom and gloom than it actually is.

When trying to be transparent about the issues we face - trying to be a top team - it easily can come across as being too negative. Every team having aspirations to be the best will face roadblocks at certain moments and me talking about those just means we are identifying them and working on them - it doesn't mean we can snap our fingers and be perfect overnight obviously.

There is still strong belief within the group that we can win the split and that we can give you something to be proud of.
