FNC vs FUT

citrus@citrus_• 31/01/2025

We lost, but i believe this team needs time, full stop, lost to BBL, beat Navi and 2-0’d Gentle Mates. But in the end it wasn’t enough. Kajaak hate is gonna be wild, and Crashies will also get backlash, which is extremely childish and the fact that kajaak shattered expectations in the M8 and navi games shows extreme potential for the rookie. And crashies has different roles than leo, on paper he plays initiator, but his utility usage is really great. Overall, kickoff hasn’t been kind to us fnatic fans, but fnatic as a valorant team has always been good, and in 2025 expect a solid year and building into kajaak and crashies’s roles. #alwaysfnatic 🧡

Loading...I need the coaches to become a little bit more aggressive specially when needed. And i would like to hear the fans that are in the crowed to actually cheer on them...were is ''who are we''..In moments like this, they need it the most. But they arent there for them. Kajaak to me has earned the place in fnatic, crashies (i call him cashew bc i couldnt pronunce his name before lol), im not sure about him. I love his attitude, hes always pushing and cheering on the team and being positive. But he needs to be positive on the scores aswell. I will always support Fnatic and i want the best for them. So i hope the coaches will step up, cause they sit there like potatoes (no hate, i love you guys but...a little bit more aggression please

Loading...@Kayceemaee Agreed, feels like a basketball coach thats holding back from getting "angry" (not angry but ykw I mean) and making the players actually listen.

Loading...I was skeptical on kaajak, but he is proving me wrong, he is improving and I’m glad to see it, the guy need time especially if you think that he’s playing uncomfortable agents for him. I really don’t like crashies man, I know he’s a temporary replacement for Leo, but damn it makes it difficult to build some good comps when you have a sova one trick who can’t play anything else plus he don’t frag. I really hope to see a change in coaching staff, I think the slow fall off started when Elma joined, he brings nothing to the team, the time outs are useless the majority of the time, strats are poor and the team comps too. I’d really like to see sliggy as a coach.

Loading...I agree with you that the team needs time. Kaajak got shut down on Fracture. I don't think that's on him, FUT just knew how to counter him, sadly; Boaster shoots better and that's a relief; Alfa gotta stay away from Chamber and embrace Kj/Cypher like in the good old times. I understand he doesn't like it, but it might be what the team needs sometimes; Chron is just perfect lol. Though I'm gonna be honest and say I'm losing faith in Elma. Not because the lost game per se, but because of how poor his time outs are. They don't change anything. I don't even wanna compare to Mini, but when coaches call a time out, something happens. It's like they figure something out that helps them. But when Elma calls a time out... everything stays the same. And if I'm honest, his last time out on Abyss was absolutely horrible. I truly believe if he had called sooner, when we where winning 10-9, it would have made a difference. FUT was on a streak and we had many ults. Like, give the team a small break to think what to do next and stop FUT's momentum. But no, he called when we were losing 10-11 on an eco that would inevitably put FUT on match point... I'm sooo salty about that lol. Other than that, we just miss Leo. No hate against Crashies, he's doing his job most of the times. But Leo is the og Sova for us. I hope he recovers soon. I still believe we can have a great year. I'll just forgive everything if they win Champs :p

Loading...Yea…delusional. FNC won’t win anything this year with this lineup. Coaches are not good and crashies is nowhere near Leo’s level. Mini was a big part of FNC’s past success.Boaster also can’t aim most of the times like today. This team is not even top 4 in EMEA and internationals are something else. FNC LoL might be the only hope this year but even that time it’s likely to fail due to lack of coach staff.

Loading...I mean we look poor, crashies finally shot a bit on fracture. But that was our map, we had no strats and looked lost. We're quite clearly a mile off the top 3 off emea. No one should be happy with this My main question is why we still have elma, who has to be bailed out by mini last year. He's clearly not good enough, our setups are terribe

Loading...I just think that we didnt have our day but last year we didnt enter to first Masters and was a pretty decent year, so I expect a good season but not to be Champions.

Loading...You are delusional if you believe last year was a good year when fnatic won 1 single match on LAN playoffs despite keeping the best team of 2023 while EG and Loud didnt retain their roster.

Catxalote@CATXALOTE• 31/01/2025

Loading...@nebukuro You look like a hater, we dominated our region despite of the health problems of leo and having a rookie.

@nebukuro• 31/01/2025

Loading...@nebukuro @CATXALOTE sure i am a hater because i think going 1-3 in international lan isnt good for the best roster in 2023. Even when fnatic won emea they did not dominate, idk if you even watched the games. They were shaky the entire time and had to comeback from 0-2 against TH. Or do you think TL dominated EMEA 2023 just because they won the final. Also Leo carried despite being sick and SEN and EDG won LANs with rookie, so stop trying using Leos sickness and Hiro as an excuse.

Loading...@nebukuro We had one guys who was so sick for EMEA and the major that he can't play since, with a stand-in we got 6th if you compare to 2023 It's not a good year but compare to 2021 or 2022 it was better... I agree we should aim for the best but we should not rewrite history because we didn't like the result...

Loading...Honestly, the loss against BBL was on us, we threw a 9-3 lead. Kaajak, I won’t lie, I was the first to be skeptical after his offseason performances, but the reality is that his first match against BBL, if you're at least somewhat objective, wasn’t bad but not great either. It was average, but for a rookie playing at this level for the first time, that’s actually good. Especially since, in reality, he’s not often the one underperforming. But of course, people will compare him to prime Derke, so yeah, in that sense, it wasn’t amazing but that's not fair. That being said, he later showed why we took a chance on him, and that’s promising for the future. As for Crashies, he’s not the reason we lost, but I’m still not convinced. I’m not a fan of how and when he uses his ults, though I don’t know if it’s his decision or what he’s being told to do, so it’s hard to judge. The real problem for me is that the veterans didn’t step up. Either way, we underperformed, that’s for sure, but that doesn’t mean we were bad. I still believe in this team, and I think we’re going to dominate in Split 1.

@Runawaywolf• 31/01/2025

Loading...@Franky I agree. Crashies (who I understand is a band aid for Leo) looks miles off the pace. You can't have both him and booster not aiming in a game. And he had a good fracture but that seems to be the anomaly rather than the standard My worry is the coaching. We looked screwed if our one strat doesn't work. It didn't even look that strong Vs gentle mates so not sure why it's out map picj
