Imagine telling the Fnatic fans from 1 year ago, that it was possible to have a toplaner performing worst than Oscarinin.

Empyrios played poorly! Vladi is trolling! Upset cant carry! Razork throws!

FNC is the issue.
How much potential has Fnatic wasted? Think about how many good players we've had who left the org and only had negative things to say about it. How many of them went on to succeed on other teams and proved they still had value. How many promising talents we lost because they refused to join FNC, or knew they could achieve more elsewhere.

The best example i can give you: we replace Nisqy with Humanoid, Humanoid who was winning multiple times with mad lions and was the only team in EU to make it out of playoffs at worlds, in what everyone thought was a clear upgrade, The very next year Nisqy wins the LEC while we lose vs GX.

The organization is the problem How is it possible that every (serious) team improves over time except for FNC?
The org lacks the ability to develop talent and push players to their peak. Razork was a genuinely good player who probably let his ego get the better of him and stopped addressing his mistakes. A competent coaching staff would've been on him 24/7, polishing him into one of Europe's best junglers. Instead, we got nothing, he never improved, The management has been dropping the ball for years. Any competent CEO would have fired dardo and managment ages ago. The year we lost Caps should have been the wake-up call. If a player looks at a team that just made it to Worlds finals and thinks "Yeah, joining the squad with Perkz on ADC is better for my career," that tells you everything you need to know about how poorly this org has been run.
It doesn't matter who you sign. You could bring in the best players in the world, and the same fundamental issues persist: constant overextending, throwing at Baron, brain-dead mechanical decisions in key moments. You can make excuses and blame Hily, Razork, Bwipo, Empyrios, Upset, or whoever the current scapegoat is. Every single person in management has failed at their job.

Sam Matthews is the biggest failure in Esports, FNC name used to mean something, we used to fill stadiums, we had bushes named after us, our players were recognized around the world, players were excited to join FNC, Now FNC is a joke, we cant win vs ERL teams, we lost all prestige, we are nothing but a joke, and it stings so much because we used to be at the top.

You could put this Fnatic management in charge of T1 in 2015 and they would fail to make playoffs.

I have heard a lot of shade thrown at the management and from a genuine point of curiosity I want to know what is meant by that. What separates G2 and FNC when we talk about management (I am a fan of both)? What FNC can do better when everyone talks about restructuring the org and management? I know the size of coaching staff also gets mentioned but apart from that what causes such a negative environment in this org?

It's awfully quiet, usually they'd have posted some mea culpa or meme posts.

Hope there is an announcement soon and at least before the players go on break. Any news from the other fnatic info points (discord, app)?

At least this time the emotions seem under control (don't know if this is a good thing or not) unlike last year, looking at you Gaax.

As we know, there are many many chances that the roster doesn't change, as we have long contracts. I am also not sure that it would even be a good idea, seeing that splits are short and we'd need to adapt.

But if Summer Split starts in August (not sure when it starts, but I believe last year it did) - can we please, please, please use the time smartly and go on a bootcamp?

The MSI is in Korea and you'll have the korean teams + every other region's best team there, both for scrims but also in SoloQ. So use some of the dirty ewc money, or the gambling site, or sell weed in Finsbury park for all I care, but pay for the guys to go there and train during MSI.

The team has been improving, even if not fast enough, I think looking at it calmly the KC series for example was a very well played series lost by very small details. So let's not lose the momentum.

TL,DR: Bootcamp in Korea please. And a real one, not the shifters kind

I know these 2 dont have the best report in this subreddit, but i think it might be insightful for some people. pls keep things civil

The worst we've had is maybe a benched player and a couple moved to academy team but still performed peak over the years. I can't relate to you lol and cs2 fans but I can empathise and I'm sorry </3

I only follow league of legends eSports but was a CS GO player for a while so I have heard conversations of the pro scene - Wasn't our CS GO team considered legendary? I saw a post here saying they lost a tier 3 (!!) tournament?
