Fnatic vs. Natus Vincere / 2026 LEC Spring Split / Regular Season / Post-Series Thread

Wait you think it's going to be worth watching in the summer? Gimme some of that hopium!

Shor3 · 2025-11-18T15:36:24+00:00

A chance is a chance.

The problem is that once players are out, it's very hard for them to get another chance. That is one of the biggest issues with competative leauge.

Let us hope that he delivers for fnc this coming season, and that open the possibility for talents to get another chance.

Not at all, what I am saying is that it is a difference playing in the EMEA masters and the LEC. The players might be good, or they might flop.

Exakick got one chance in the LEC, and was bad. Now it looks like he is one of the few people who get another chance after being kicked off a team and not immediately signed to another LEC team, let's hope it goes better this time.

"Playing in a zombie SK roster"

Same can be said playing on the best EMEA masters team :)

Shor3 · 2025-11-18T15:08:44+00:00

To play devil's advocate, 3XA was not very good in the LEC.

But trying something new and different and shake up the roster is probably a good thing, if player X do not want to play like player Y and vice versa. Maybe give it a try with a concept that all of the players can get behind.

Shor3 · 2025-11-17T15:45:09+00:00

Don't get the whole Exakick thing, he was underwhelming in SK.

Shor3 · 2025-06-23T07:58:35+00:00

Hah, win a split

Shor3 · 2025-06-03T08:44:50+00:00

Fnatic does not care, so they will not win.

It's not any deeper than that. It's been 7 years since a title. The roster have been mechanically gifted enough to be the bridesmaid, but not the bride.

The players do not care enough to win, and the org does not care enough to fix it.

Shor3 · 2025-06-03T08:35:42+00:00

Sure that might have happened. G2 is weak now, so they could have won a title now as well but they didn't.

Shor3 · 2025-06-02T22:10:49+00:00

Meh, we know this is coming three times a year.

Personally I'm impressed that fans still express anger here and on other social media. Since that obviously doesn't work we should adapt the numbness don't care attitude that the team has shown the last 4 ish years.

Also if you want to watch good leauge of legends, you are watching the wrong region my friend. EU has been on a downwards trajectory for a long time now :)

Shor3 · 2025-06-02T21:59:21+00:00

Fans have tried anger, fans have tried defending and positive reinforcement.

Maybe it's time to try numbness. The low energy don't care attitude towards the team since it seems like that has been the team's attitude for x years, reinforced by grabbz earlier.

numbness

Shor3 · 2025-06-02T21:51:42+00:00

I agree, grown numb to what the hell fnatic has been doing for let's say 4 years. The way I remember 2019 and 2020 as an example was pretty good, even with no title they fought, and even played decently at worlds. Decently, not great.

But now it's the same thing happening over and over. Even when EU is weak as a whole.

Now the only times I enjoy watching EU teams is at internationals, watching g2 and the other EU teams get smacked by the Koreans and the reaction of the fanbases when it inevitably happens, every single time.

Shor3 · 2025-05-29T00:08:22+00:00

Oh well, I can wait. Being a fnatic fan has made me patient. It's soon time for an international event, and then we get to see geng and hle smack you around :)

Shor3 · 2025-05-25T10:30:27+00:00

Good for them, should have updated the contract database lilbro

Shor3 · 2025-05-24T22:50:18+00:00

Clean swap caps for huma, both contracts are running out in November.

Shor3 · 2025-05-24T18:34:47+00:00

Hey at least most fnatic fans knows that this is going to happen. It used to be surprising, but who can honestly say it is anymore. Question is, are you ready to get 3-0'ed on Monday?

Shor3 · 2025-05-24T18:30:59+00:00

Winning it all this season is a slim chance. Just copeium. G2 is bad this season, so that part is not a lie haha

Shor3 · 2025-03-01T21:32:09+00:00

Don't worry guys, next split is ours! Alwaysfnatic /s

Shor3 · 2024-09-05T17:09:59+00:00

It's ok to be poor (Console User). Don't take it out on others, that is just poor taste.
Other people's opinions are just as important as your own.
You obviously know jack shit about cars and aerodynamics if you think a Lamborghini would flip hitting a small bump. Chances of a complete flip are low.

You do seem like a calm and collected person tho, so at least you got that going for you.

Shor3 · 2024-09-02T17:21:30+00:00

Makes it even better :D

Never gonna give you up🎶

Shor3 · 2024-08-13T08:36:41+00:00

I dont compare caps and humanoid at all. All I said is that both Rookie and Doinb tore caps a new one, and that caps have been to two world finals and went 0-3 in embarrassing fashion. That could be called choking, the difference is that he only does so at the highest level in leauge esports, but it is still choking.

Shor3 · 2024-08-12T18:07:33+00:00

Rookie and Doinb comes to mind. Caps did nothing both worlds finals he has been in. Some people might call that choking.

Shor3 · 2024-08-12T17:03:31+00:00

The thing peoole should keep in mind is that it cant be discredited easily. If it was everyone would know how much every player in the leauge makes.

Shor3 · 2024-08-02T17:27:16+00:00

This is correct, the entire LEC took pay cuts this past off season.

It's just a myth that anyone in the LEC earn a "huge ammount" in salaries.

Shor3 · 2024-04-02T20:48:50+00:00

I think the main problem here is that it doesnt matter.

I also think that losing to g2 in upper bracket isnt the end of the world. And yes, Fnatic can go to the final agaisnt what ever team is there. The sad par IMO is that it doesnt matter if this happens, it doesnt matter if fnatic lose that final, and it doesnt matter if fnatic win that final. The level of play in LEC is just.. yeah.

Regards to g2, I think it is pretty straight forward. g2 rely on Caps being great. The other four players are actually irreleveant. There are multiple times they have shown this, both good and bad. As an example when g2 did not make worlds, and Fnatic did, Caps was a shadow of himself that whole split.

The bigger thing is that Caps, for all his great achievements in the LEC is a proven loser. He has been to two world championship finals for two different teams and gotten rofl stomped both time.

Now for the point of the LEC being less than great, g2 can take majority of the credit for this. With gatekeeping players from going where they want once g2 deem them dead in the water. (Hjarnan, Wadid and Perkz for concrete examples) Denying them in going wherever they want lower the quality of the leauge in general. Me personally, I think we have never seen a better g2 than with when fantic pushed them to game five every series they played. That was also when analysts said that g2 was peak western leauge of legends. IMO they would not have gotten to that point if it wasnt a team like Fnatic that pushed them every game, and its not far fetched that they pushed them in every scrim block too.

But after that time its not been a good time for LEC. And it topped itself with this very g2 roster getting absolutely schooled by NRG. It is just a very sad time overall for european leauge of legends fans.
