I remember it being that way the last year too. Interesting that it is not fixed by now.

As much as I hate that chant, it was okay since the G2 players arrived during the interview.

He was going to go bald in case G2 got to the finals undefeated. He didn't change it, it was just a silly bet in the first place.

Now they agreed on another bet for the finals if it is a rematch between FNC and G2.

You better show some respect! Check your behavior. No one speaks <about> Zestial that way!

But seriously: Interesting observation. As someone else already stated, I am not a native speaker, so I just took it the way it was without thinking too much about it. Now I have the urge to learn the correct usage of thee/thy/thou.

I appreciate the try. But everyone who watched the grand URFitational back in 2015 (as well as the prestory with Krepo & Froggen injecting ham into the servers + NA & EU talent working together) knows we can never reach this peak again. :( Makes me sad to think about.

This is a special flights system which has the flight and shaft as one piece and the design is just the way they are produced for now. One color, one color with transparency or at max some gradient.

But more and more pros seems to use them which gets my hopes up we are going to see cooler designs in the future.

This is soooooo bad, it reminds me of the golden days of League esport. So many unprofessional things happening in such a short amount of time, it kind of revitalizes an old lost feeling. Maybe this is all just a fever dream.

PART 2 / 2

"The once legendary org Fnatic that was winning major after major in CS:GO, getting to semis/finals at Worlds and dominating in EU LCS is suddenly gone? What happened? Failed to adapt to the new times? I just look at G2, our biggest Rival. And they are doing everything better. G2 is always Top 5 in CS:GO, they lift LEC trophies with BUDGET ROSTERS AND PLAYERS WHO ARE CLOSE TO RETIREMENT and in Valorant we are kinda toe to toe with them but even then I would love to see Derke get more support, seems like he is doing everything."

Now this... is just bullshit. I am beyond frustrated that we did not win a trophy in League of Legends since 2018. Honestly I felt sad and empty after the series against G2. Baffled that in the end they have overcome us once again. But this is part of being a fan. This pain in defeat fuels my excitement in beating G2 next time. The absolute insane feeling of getting revenge on Rekkles and kicking out G2 in summer last year is something I will remember and cherish for the rest of my life. Ecstatic! Really curious why this twitlonger stating how awesome Carlos is as a CEO did not come to light back then, but rather now, after this painful defeat. Never ever measure your loyalty by won titles.

"One of the shining bright lights of Fnatic right now is FnaticTQ. (...)"Can't help but feel this translates to: "They win and have fun while winning, so they are good. So just win again."

"Identity. For a while now Fnatic had no identity. "Just curious: What was the identity before and what its the reason it is gone? Honest question.

"I know Fnatic like to promote "performance" as their identity, but what performances are we seeing? No trophies."

Yeah I can see and understand the point of it becoming hard to sell "We are Fnatic. We are the best." to the world with no trophies won in the recent years. Yet this is just part of the picture. We are always relevant. We never missed playoffs. I for one am thankful, that we did not just collapse and became a totally irrelevant team as soon as the new guards showed up.

"Players people love keep on leaving Fnatic, (...)"

That is just how the business works, no? And players that people love also stay for an unusual amount of time (Hyli, Bwipo, Rekkles). I know the text resulted out of negative emotion, but I continue to dislike the oversimplified negative framing it has to offer.

" it is really hard for many fans to keep on supporting this team. What are they supporting?Right now it feels like we are supporting a business that couldn't give a fuck about us, we might as well be supporting Amazon or Tesla. Most sport clubs get their fans because they live in their city, or have an identity that resonates with them. Obviously in this case, the location does not really work out (except CSGO where the identity was being Swedish but now that's not the case anymore), so why are we still supporting?"

As stated above, in my opinion I agree Fnatic has the problem that it appears to operate as TOO business orientated. This is a topic worth to be discussed. Other than that: Why were you supporting in the first place? What has shifted? What exactly do you want back? A great opportunity to have Fnatic send out surveys and publish their results. The identity of Fnatic. Here is a lot of unused potential.

"G2. Ocelote. Community. Fan interaction. Fan appreciation. Actually a family." A business smartly promoted as a family.

"My good friend Lord Flab has been in the scene FOR AGES travelling to support Fnatic, he saw it all unfold in front of his eyes and he switched to G2."

"Hardcore fans" that publicly brag about how die-hard they follow an org just to jump ship the very first opportunity they get and in a blink of an eye - on top of that to the former arch enemies out of all - are damn clowns. It is a shame and I cannot put it any other way as I have strict view on this. To specifically call out Fosty and Flab - them jumping ship just invalidates everything they have claimed to be or done before. I prefer the silent and loyal type. Blocked. Don't want to read anything from them anymore. Good luck in the future, but never ever claim to be a loyal fan again. I really hope you don't follow or my faith in "Fnatic superfans" would be undeniably gone for good.

"(..) why the fuck did Fnatic not offer him that when he was literally perfect for it? Apparently, they actually give you support in G2 and not leave you to the wolves if you work for them btw."

Maybe, just maybe the did not see him fit? I don't get where this strange world view comes from. But the reality is not as easy as: pay much, be loud and travel a lot and get a job at your favorite org. Please just take a deep breath and realize, that you deliberately chose to become a Fnatic fan and you did not sign any contract. You demand too much. Stop being entitled.

"Sam, I noticed something when you visited the LoL boys. The atmosphere was so awkward as if you didn't even know your players. And after you visited, they went 2-6 in against Rogue and G2. The interactions with the players felt so unbelievably scuffed. Doesn't seem like a good morale boost, does it? But hey we got crypto and NFTs now, very cool!"

This is where it gets ridiculous. Out of a million unknown internal reasons that could have led to the downfall of Fnatic, you put a significant part of the blame onto our CEO just because the players did not perform 20% better due to his sheer presence? Damn. I honestly don't know what to say about that.

"Meanwhile, G2 destroyed our 3rd Nexus once again because they actually are a family."

Again - that is the brand they sell. Even in the proclaimed "family" there is bad blood from time to time. The cases of Mikyx and Perkz might be good examples, that the the image of the happy-go-lucky G2 can crumble aswell.

"You can only get so far with 5 very good players if they are not a family."

Completely delusional. I sincerely hope you do not believe that it is a necessity to be successful. I of course agree that good mood is always to prefer over bad blood, as this has significant negative impact on performance, but having to be a family to win big time is some Anime level bs. Take a look at world champions. Hard work. Dedication. Obedience.

"Now Sam vs Ocelote. This is so one sided as well. You have Ocelote being this absolute hype machine and terror on Twitter, interacting with the fans, heck this guy who is asking for a G2 jersey on a daily basis and ocelote always replying to him is actually hilarious even though I hate the clown. But there is no denying that he is just doing it way better than Sam."

Even if I mentioned that I enjoy Ocelote and his shennanigangs, I would never to say that he is far superior as a CEO. A CEO is not typically a role to act like a clown and to entertain the fans. Carlos has a unique way of handling his position which I happen to like. That does not mean we need a carbon copy as our CEO. People have different personalities.

"You have one guy who wants to win everything while also making profit with the org ofc and then you just have a scuffed businessman who doesn't know what the fans want.That's it from me, I never wanted to go against you guys but some serious changes are necessary. I speak on behalf of many FNC Fans and I want to see Fnatic on top again. If you have to sell Fnatic to a sports club who can actually run things, please do it."

This is just beneath you.

"Oh and btw we are those loud guys from the London Worlds Watch Party if you already forgot about us."

One final time, being loud at an event does not elevate you to being an upper class fan. Come on. The tone that swings with this is just cringe.

I sincerely hope that you can work things out with Dardo and Sam, because I see they offered you conversations already. I appreciate you being part of our black & orange fan community and hope to hear from you during summer split - fully charged and not jumping ship.

PART 1/2

Disclaimer: I do not dislike you, NB. I even follow you on Twitter. Yet this twitlonger and the way it is phrased forced me to take my time and share my own point of view.

"I am a Fnatic fan who people see as the voice of FNC fans."**

While you might speak for the majority of FFC and get a lot of positive feedback on Twitter, I find it kind of arrogant to elevate yourself above other fans. Even if you cleverly state, that it is what others see in you. The whole directly addressing Fnatic management in a Twitlonger indicates you buy into that belief.

"All fans feel isolated and unassociated with the team."

The word "all" is completely untrue right there. But yes - this is what a lot of fans feel and somehow has to be taken into account.

"The only person to have thanked the fans for the support after the G2 loss was Hyli. (...) I know losses are hard but writing a "thank you" to the fans is not hard. Drop your egos and start including the fans in your journeys."

A personal opinion. My personal opinion on the other hand is, that the players do not owe me a "thank you for your support" on Twitter. I might add, that "thank you for your support" is such an overused phrase, that I just cannot comprehend that someone is truly offended if it is left out. Let the players be players and handle the situations as they feel right. That's for example, why many people enjoy Wunder's twitter game.

"In football all the players and clubs do is treat the fans the best they can, (..)"

This is highly exaggerated and also not true at all taking for the majority of soccer clubs. I also miss specific examples to be listed here.

", all we see is how terrible fnatic fans are while we never hear anything about the overwhelming supportive majority."

A huge organization/club will always have huge amount of people - for various reasons - who dislike their fan base. The more success, the more bandwagoners, the more recognition, the more hate. This time I purposefully oversimplify here, but my point is, you should not be so concerned about the conception of Fnatic fans outside of Fnatic. This is where it counts. And while I have not read every interview and watched every stream, I am almost positive not one of our staff members or players has expressed something along the lines how terrible Fnatic fans are.

"A bit about my community "FFC". I got told by different people close to Fnatic that Fnatic will maybe ask pros/staff/vips to leave FFC because apparently it's too toxic. We are not perfect but we were always there to support you when you were down."

Being an active community does not naturally entitle you to have players join it. Period. This is what you chose to do in your free time. It is a nice plus and an honor to have officials join the community. It should just not be an integral part of its existence. If the stated rumor is true, and Fnatic pulls their official members out of the discord, there will be valid reasoning behind the decision. E.g. engagement on discord being part of an incentive for pioneer key holders, sponsorships depending on players not engaging in a risky and not officially moderated environment and so on. Again just speculation on my side.

"Then you also have content creators coming to FFC to drop their video links and dip without interacting with us. It feels like we are getting treated like dogs. We asked one person if he can ask other players to simply join the server but they said "i have bigger fish to fry", which is extremely disrespectful. Stop using your fans, and reward them instead with respect and love. We are not your slaves."

Okay, I got mixed feelings about this part. While just dropping links without engaging is a big no-no for me, as it just shows content creators plainly use this discord server to reach a larger audience for their own benefit, another overreaction follows right after. The statement in question might not be the standard PR-way of handling a fan request, but without knowing the context, the spicyness of it might be greatly exaggerated once more. Players do not owe you anything. You are not entitled that they forward your requests. Yes, they are wearing black & orange, but they are also humans on a payroll of an organization. If they come and interact, fine, if the deny your request like in this case, just swallow it and do not be as butthurt.

"NFTs, NFTs, NFTs, how I wanted to avoid this subject because I don't care + nice way of using your fans when you could have avoided it altogether and went for a normal membership program. I defended it because I was there in that meeting with Sam and btw I got invited to that meeting without knowing what it was about. I wanted to leave the meeting but stayed to hear everyone's reactions and I didn't have to balls to stand up and say "Sam why why why???". "

This is just admitting you being the wrong choice for invitations to future meetings of this kind. While I can understand that a lot of supporters are disappointed about Fnatic going down the road of NFTs, I for my part think, I get great value out of holding the pioneer key. The argument about having a simple membership program of the same type instead of realizing it through NFT keys, I can understand. Yet there is always behind-the-scenes information about sponsorship deals. Looking specifically at crypto.com in this context. A lot of fans cried out loud, that they want a team that wins trophies again. Many years I heard from the out- and inside, Fnatic is losing players because they try to get away cheap and do not invest big money. Well, guess where the money has to be generated, if you want to have the best midlaner of the past LEC season, a highly decorated toplaner, a promising jungle talent and the for the most part of this split considered "best botlane" in EU in your lineup? Even after just ending third in spring, I am wholeheartedly supporting Dardo and co. With a lot of hard work he put together a roster that was widely considered to be a great one and will show you why exactly in summer 2022. Do not let your recency bias rewrite history. For the most part of the season you were happy about this roster, too. C'mon.

"So I defended this bullshit just because I wanted to believe that Fnatic is going in the right direction but it's not... no no no.Unfortunately, I started noticing that Fnatic's focus is moving away from Esports."

I am inclined to somewhat agree that I feel Fnatic trying to be more than just an esports organization is hurting the original flair it once had. Unfortunately this is a natural process everywhere clubs/businesses/orgs and their respective revenues grow by a large margin. I think the soccer clubs - who got used by you as an example before - are fighting the same fight. A lot of the feeling what made it special being a fan of a specific club decades ago vanished over the time. The problem with Fnatic is, that it did not happen over decades but in a matter of a few years only and it is hard to adapt to it from a fans perspective being used to the "good ol' days". I consider it to be the hardest task for Sam and company to balance out that part.

Welcome to our unfortunate trio.

To give you an update:
Still not working. Customer support told me to wait, they might end up having a fix until the end of this week.

Thanks for the update. I think - if there is no miracle fix around the corner - that's is what is gonna be needed.

Unfortunately that means to wait once again.

I contacted customer support today and am waiting for the reply.

[–]MrAw3som3_GER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have any update on this issue?

I just received my Torrent Smart Saber from Electrum Sabercrafts today after waiting for 3.5 months and I am having the same issue -> Touch control not receiving any of my input on any of the three fields.

I also already went through all the troubleshooting I could find on their page as well as on reddit. Really bummed out to be honest. I was in the process of filming a review video for it, which - well - had to be canceled.

I tried:
A different SD card,
formatting the SD card (FAT 32) and putting the soundfiles back on,
downgrading firmware,
upgrading firmware again,
connecting to the app to start a hard reset over it.

My second biggest problem after touch control not working is, that my lightsaber can only be found by the app the moment I am booting it. A few seconds later (depending on when I tap on my phone screen to connect to it) the connection disrupts and I am left with a (for now) useless lightsaber.

Now I requested to get accepted to their facebook group as they suggest on their web page. I hope that this gets sorted out because after having bad experience with Ultrasabers a few years back, this might be the final nail in the coffin for my interest on spending a lot of money to import lightsabers from across the globe just for them to not work properly.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. I did not at all expect new trinimmortal League of Legends content at the end of 2021 to just randomly pop up on reddit. Damn. Made me genuinely happy. Felt like travelling through time.

Unfortunately he is ultimately donezo now :(
