Me vs sold out merch, the saga continues

So this morning I get an email from Fnatic : « Don't miss out on what you set your eyes on. Get it now!" And right there, in big bold ORANGE letters: VCT Masters London Jacket, Black.

Naturally my brain short-circuits "OH MY 🤬🤬🤬 they restocked it!!" I drop everything, click the link faster than a Jett dashing onto site... Click. Open page. "Sold out."

Still sold out. Has been for days. Apparently once it's gone, it's gone forever, no restock, RIP.

And honestly this is starting to feel personal, because this isn't even my first heartbreak. I went to VCT Champions Paris to watch Fnatic in the finals, hyped to finally get some merch in person... and the Riot racing jacket was sold out. So now I'm 0-2 against Fnatic / riot jackets, and the email this morning just felt like the universe (or a marketing bot) reminding me of my curse.

At this point I'm convinced these jackets are just avoiding me on purpose.

Anyway, if anyone managed to actually snag one, wear it proudly, you won where I lost. 🧡
