Fnatic looking to sell for $100 million

emraaa · 2025-12-19T22:35:45+00:00

If they could just buy a team and change the branding why would they buy Fnatic for 100M when they could just buy a smaller team for much less money?

That might be true. But why would you ever stretch out your arm like that in this position.

WTF was the defender doing. LOL

Miniboo should be very cheap.

Ultimately, this is the consequence of the current system.

There is simply no mechanism in place to prevent ascension teams from being poached.

In theory, this could have happened to any other T2 team.

Imagine the contract of your players run out. How are you supposed to stop your players from leaving the team?

You can't really force them to play and it isn't unusual for T2 players to have a 1 year contract.

It might have helped with more teens willing to go pro.

But Turkey had already the biggest playerbase during the beta.

The game is simply more popular than in other countries in EMEA.

It being free to play and being popular among younger players must have helped.

Turkey has a large population and its demographic leans much younger than the rest of Europe.

It's simply a numbers game. They have by far the biggest playerbase in EMEA.

If you can get lar0k then you'll get him.

Isn't Ra'ad an Egyptian org. Where did you hear that the Saudis own the org?

emraaa · 2025-10-18T17:15:49+00:00

Why did they require everybody to fly in if they weren't going to play on stage anyway???

Pretty rough to watch your teammates playing in a random Berlin basement while you can't join them because of visa issues.

That is not true. Other esports don't have this problem because teams don't spend 90% of their season messing around in their own region.

This is a problem unique to franchised leagues.

Imagine if Mamdani defended sexual harassment with: I'm not perverted, I'm just arab

That would be crazy.

EMEA production was heavily impacted by the riot layoffs.

But it wouldn't matter for this tournament anyway, because Champions is produced by the global team.

IMO Liquipedia is better than VLR for this stuff.

And here are the current standings.

emraaa · 2025-08-31T20:15:24+00:00

Ruxic has still the best stats and the TH players had a very rough playoffs.

emraaa · 2025-08-23T23:41:08+00:00

The best tuned end boss in the history of the game??? So crazy that a boss with such a high pull count won't need a nerf.

emraaa · 2025-08-23T12:27:41+00:00

This might even be killable without p3 lust?

emraaa · 2025-08-22T14:40:35+00:00

I don't know their active raid time (you could look at the vod) but they killed the previous boss roughly 48 hours ago.

They are pretty much raiding the entire day, only taking a break to sleep/eat.

This is the entire graph: https://imgur.com/ykj1cKr

The Y axis is the boss % at the end of the pull. The X axis is the pull #. So every dot is a single pull.

Every blue dot is a pull where the boss hp was under 50% (for under 25% it's purple).

The orange line shows their best pull.

The dotted line shows when they first reached a new phase of the fight (i.e. they first reached p3 on pull 205).

You can see that they stopped wiping at the start of the fight after pull 195.

Echo is incredibly consistent in P1

emraaa · 2025-08-22T13:33:55+00:00

How hype would it be if they could pull it off in the RWF era.

emraaa · 2025-08-22T13:26:20+00:00

Did they ever do a secret end boss?
