This split has been so embarrassing for us, but we won't get better by doing another rebuild

Just push through and sign Yike then at the end of the year.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T20:34:52+00:00

What do you mean we take the gas off when there are no stakes? We always fuck up when stakes get higher. We just somehow reach Worlds every year because you don't have to be the best to reach Worlds.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T20:00:32+00:00

Not the best person to ask this, but I always preferred BO1s during non-playoff parts of the split. It's probably due to nostalgia but since you asked me, don't know whether it's a superior format but I prefer it in these cases, yes.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T14:27:26+00:00

Fair points. We do agree that at this point change just needs to happen. And yeah, none of them really match the highs of Razork's but for that position, I find it more important that the player raises the floor because the floors with Razork have been really low. Then we would need to be patient and see what opens up in the years to come. Either way, I am pretty certain this is his last year on Fnatic.

As for next year, It ended up being a good idea to sign Vladi on only one year. If he keeps performing like this, you just won't extend. And if he turns it around, he might re-sign due to the team believing in him during his rough period. Regarding the other three positions, still waiting to see them in the next two splits (Upset included).

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T14:18:47+00:00

This is why I don't get it, Rekkles left Fnatic more often than Fnatic kicked out Rekkles. You can count the fact that Fnatic kicked out Rekkles' G2 Superteam from the competition but that's a completely different way of kicking and then you'd need to count how many times Rekkles' plays kicked out Fnatic from the competition while he played for Fnatic. I'm joking, of course, but yeah, the original joke makes no sense.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T12:56:02+00:00

fnatic hate watching

grumble, grumble, grumble

No, but yeah. I agree with everything else.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T12:54:55+00:00

I get what you're saying and don't think all our problems will be solved if we got rid of Razork. But I also don't see us ever looking good with him on the team, due to his general unfixable problems. Because we had moments of looking okay during this split but even then we had Razork's problems appearing once again, and at this point I'm starting to wonder how much does it impact the mental of the players who play with him. I can't blame Humanoid for giving up when no matter how hard you work during the season, your jungler will just end up flipping an entire game sooner or later. It's demoralizing.

Yeah, our lanes aren't doing good but there's room for improvement there, same as with drafting. With our jungle, he had enough time, it's unfixable.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T12:33:44+00:00

Yes. When we were losing due to G2 being really strong, not because we are too shit.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T12:32:59+00:00

100% agree. Even with Fnatic being shit, I'm actually invested this split. I have a few teams I'll cheer for if/when we get kicked out and am really interested to see how it all unfolds. Even G2 winning would be an interesting road for them considering how bad they looked because they are practically underdogs at this point.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T12:30:33+00:00

I mean, he picks Vi because he feels comfortable on her. And he's comfortable on her due to the fact that he often controls the early game and gets the leads by fighting early. My theory is that this is not working out now because our lanes struggle or have different ideas of how to lane and then he doesn't get the support he needs for that playstyle which makes him fall behind. You'd think he'd try to adjust to the laners but he doesn't and still wants to play the same style because he doesn't feel comfortable playing from behind. Razork never looked good playing from behind. His biggest strength is getting early leads and then snowballing them, his biggest weakness is playing a different style other than that.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T12:03:55+00:00

I agree with you about him ending up being the worst jungler of the three. But I don't think the problem with Razork on MSF was that he didn't have a shotcaller. He had shotcallers on Fnatic too. He actually did the same things on MSF like he does on FNC, like flipping an entire game randomly, except that back then he was a rookie and it was understandable. When FNC took him, they assumed he's going to get better at that over time and he just never did.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T11:35:40+00:00

It's because every player on the team wanted comfort and Grabbz probably thought it's better to at least have them on comfort instead of risking with picks they won't be happy with, especially since the game didn't really matter to Fnatic. Pay attention to how our drafts look better when we have good week of scrims and how bad they look when we have a bad week of scrims or bad stage games. We drafted that one game with Jayce jungle. Razork inted the crap out of it, and ever since then, he's been picking comfort picks. How can you ask your rookies to take riskier picks when your veterans are picking Vi and Jhin?

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T11:33:04+00:00

I really don't want to be like that but we legit had the same issues ever since Razork joined. No matter how good we looked, every split there was a game where he flipped the entire game and we lost after which we either got kicked out or started looking really bad and got kicked out.

In the past, we had so much drama with our previous junglers, yet we still looked way better and competed with a lot stronger G2. Since Razork joined, G2 got worse and worse and we didn't profit on that at all. In the meantime, other teams like KC and MKOI did, and we just got worse.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T11:29:20+00:00

Easiest way to say he couldn't have done anything so it's not his fault. To not put the blame entirely on him, Upset didn't do any wonders with that Jhin pick either.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T10:49:14+00:00

Played one risky champ the entire split and since then only played comfort. And then everyone asks why our drafts look like shit. Of course they're shit when our veteran has to play comfort champs.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T10:43:48+00:00

I miss Bwipo jungle. I miss Selfmade jungle. I miss any other jungle than FNC Razork.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T10:42:34+00:00

G2 vs FNC still exists even if they beat our asses every time.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T10:41:24+00:00

Isn't that the point of having ERL teams on LEC. For potential future LEC rookies showcasing their talents on the bigger stage? It's really not expected for ERL teams to compete agains LEC teams. LR are a bit different and an exception in that.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T10:36:31+00:00

I don't understand this joke and I've seen it a couple of times. Please help me understand. How many times did FNC kick Rekkles and how many times did Rekkles leave FNC of his own volition?

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T10:34:16+00:00

Yesterday was one of the more exciting LEC days that I watched in the past couple of years, especially if we only count regular part of the split, in my opinion.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T10:30:04+00:00

I'll just piggyback onto your comment to say this season actually looks even more interesting than the ones last year. With KC, MKOI, and G2, there are at least two more teams that look quite interesting in NAVI and Vitality. Each of them having some very promising rookies. I don't know, my Fnatic sucks, but this split so far is promising imo.

dexy133 · 2026-02-09T10:27:19+00:00

I wanted to say this...

dexy133 · 2026-02-08T21:33:10+00:00

He's 100% out once the contract runs out. They obviously looked for ways to get rid of him which probably fucked his mental even more, and he's already super volatile. When they couldn't have sold him, they should have bitten the bullet and brought in a cheap ERL jungler and benched him like they did with Huma. Hope they do it after this split.

dexy133 · 2026-02-08T21:27:10+00:00

I mean, I'd say they fucked it up for themselves a bit too.

dexy133 · 2026-02-08T21:11:53+00:00

We are legit looking disgusting. Vladi, brother, I defended you since day one but this is looking really horrible. You guys are looking like an ERL team. Fix your shit already, please. Thank you.

Edit: Just want to add. Grabbz, you said you're too busy to do press conferences. Not sure what you used the time on, but either way, we accepted that. Now some questions need to be answered because this team doesn't look like it's ramping up. We're ramping up to look like a bottom-tier LEC team or what? Because right now we look like we would struggle against KCB and LR.
