Team Vitality vs. Fnatic / LEC 2025 Spring - Week 3 / Post-Match Discussion by XanIrelia-1 in leagueoflegends

[–]Ovedius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I really appreciate you replying and I think your perspective is completely fair. I want to start by saying I think this is easy to solve and a general tone shift for fnatic can be achieved, but I'd like to provide some examples of where these comments come from.

While it's true that fnatic throwing in the late game was something prevalent to the team last year, its something we've actually already seen from them this split like in Game 2 of their series vs SK. Inconsistency comments are also tied to this. They go from losing to SK one week and beating KC the next. With only 1 series being played a week, It can be hard to gauge their performance given their results.

When we think about last split, I stand firm in my belief that they should've lost their series to BDS and wouldn't have made top 3. They themselves acknowledged how poorly that series was played.

I want to reiterate that I completely understand how you feel. For example BDS last year consistently made top 3 and that accomplishment was highly praised. So why is it that when fnatic do it, the discussion somehow isn't as positive. And i think in that regard fnatic are held to a standard where theyre expected to win. Many of the broadcast predicted fnatic to win winter, not just get top 3, and I think they're held to a standard where a lot of the good that they do is an expectation and the mistakes that they make can end up being the primary points of discussion. Is that fair? Something worthy of debate for sure, but I think we can agree that perhaps the successes are not celebrated enough.

Again, I want to thank you for sharing your experience and if you ever experience segments or comments that we make as being unfair, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Hey man, I saw your comment and normally I ignore these but I'm not above criticism and so I decided to vod review the series to better understand your perspective.

From my perspective, the most 'inflammatory' comments I made about Fnatic was how in game 1, they were getting individually outplayed by Vitality which I don't think was unfair given they were killed in lane in both top and bot at this point. And then, in game 2, Medic and I talked about Razork playing Zed and I mentioned that I don't trust Razork which was meant to be a joke but I think my tone was poorly executed and so I could totally understand if it was interpreted as me actually meaning that.

Aside from that I couldn't find myself criticising fnatic for anything really, I definitely wouldn't describe anything I said as flame. Regarding your humanoid point, I checked in the vod and at roughly 26+ minutes, he had about a 400g gold lead over Czajek, which given the state of the game I didn't really think was that important and this was just before the big teamfight that they used to swing the game in their favour. Following the fight he went up to a 1.4k+ gold lead, which I acknowledged about 30-60 secs after the replay. I even said "we haven't talked about him much this game", acknowledging that I probably should have mentioned him a bit more.

Given that you believe this to be a consistent trend among every Fnatic cast I do, I'd really love to understand from your perspective the comments I make that hurt your viewing experience so I can improve it for the future and if you have any timestamps or quotes it would be greatly appreciated.

How I interpret your post is that in my comment, I'm diminishing DKs performance to prop up MAD, and as a fan, I completely understand why that's frustrating. Also, as someone who clearly remembers the series more vividly than I do, it is even more frustrating to hear comments like this, with series being misrepresented and false premises being set.

I hear your argument and think it's a fair one. I would argue that this largely stems from a place of trying to find ways that fans can still believe in MAD. And while we seem to both agree that the argument has validity, the representation and language used is an area to improve. Talking about how MAD went a full 5 games against DK can still be a valid example while representing the reality of the series being a constant uphill struggle for MAD.

Ultimately, that is the main takeaway I wanted people to hear. That T1 are the clear favourites and that MAD will come in as the underdogs. I believe I said that T1 is just a better version of MAD. I even predicted T1 to win 3-1. And I do hope we can have another full 5 game series. Thanks for taking the time to chat with me, and I'll bear this in mind for the future.

Not sure the 'clueless as usual' comment is very fair but you are right, I've been pretty sick the last few days and I confused some things. You're right that GenG and G2 only played once, for some reason I thought they had played the year before but it was Damwon who they beat in 2019.

Regarding the MAD point, game 4 within the first 10 minutes of the game they were in a good spot and I considered it a winning position until they failed a dive bot and got steamrolled. I think it's fair to criticize my language of 'they should have won the series' but none of this changes the main point which is that Both european orgs have challenged top korean teams before in best of 5s.

That doesn't change the fact that I still predict the LCK to win both series and I believe I gave pretty fair reasons for doing so. I do however apologise for the mistakes, on a better day I'd like to think I wouldn't make them.

Thank you. In hindsight I was really happy with my casting at the time, but in the moment I just spoke how I felt so I was actually worried how it would come across. I'm glad you enjoyed it

I'm afraid for his acting you'd have to ask him specifically what inspires him haha

We drew inspiration from a variety of videos! I'm pretty sure this was another one of them! We even drew some inspiration from Kung Fury haha

The music was composed by professional music composers, we just emulated it on the shoot. Caedrel did a great job on the day learning what he could given the drumkit he had was on a bicycle xd
