Loading...Hello I am just a fan who is willing to write down some stuff after losing to KC yesterday. Dont take it as something bad. I am watching fnatic since 2019 and im being a fan ever since and i just want to share my opinion and perspective on this whole thing. We had different bunch of rosters and coaches and we didnt manage to win a single split - always managing to choke at the very end. Before, people used to blame the players.. maybe they got high ego? Not putting enough effort in? Which might have been true back then, at times where the players all alone could carry games. But taking a look at the last 2-3 years and especially 2025, we can notice that almost every team is brutally stacked with different type of coaching staffs, supporting their players outside the game and working together. Look at KC and G2 as examples: going into 2025, g2 changed their support jungle duo, which is one of the most crucial duos on the map. During the regular season, they really didnt look that good and were looking like a top 4 team at max. I really couldnt see them going even to finals. 2024 was KC‘s first year in the LEC and they were 9th or 10th place through out the splits on avg. Going into 2025, they also changed some players on the roster. Brought in the most hyped up rookie adc caliste and rookie midlaner vladi (yes he was already playing for kc during their summer run last year but i still consider it as a rookie) together with yike who was at g2 before. Now lets take a look at the winter split this year.. both teams are in finals. What do they have in common? Dedication, discipline and bunch of staff members supporting their players and coming up with ideas, plays and comps in general. The players of both teams are in the top 20 on the leader board ranking in league solo q - grinding their asses off. Now lets take a look on my favourite team, fnatic: We have oscar, who clearly became more stable and joined the org during the worst period this org has ever had in 2023. Who is still developing and might not be THE BEST toplaner but for sure being around the top 3 consistently. He might just need some more lifting so he can step up more to become a threat for BB. We have Ivan, razork, who came in as one of the best rookie junglers and who also became the best jungler of the league. He can win you games solo but also lose you games since he cant focus sometimes. I watched the legends in action and it was mentioned that he turns on his autopilot sometimes. Every human does it, every player. Its just the question of how can you support this player so it doesnt happen as often as lately. We have Marek brazda, humanoid. Who was the top 2 midlander for years now. Who has won back to back splits before (2021). A player who went to quarters in worlds (yes i mention it since eu obviously struggles to get to quarters even). A player, who can be a threat to caps but also loses you often games due his clear motivation issues. We have Elias, upset. Who has been in this league for many years, has been going through tons of shit to become an established player. Elias is an ADC who can 1v9 your games and carry your whole team if the team plays well around it. We saw what happened against G2, when he was sick so he couldnt do much. Upset is clearly our man to play around. Then we have MIKYYYYY. An ex g2 player who has won MSI, went to worlds finals, won SO MANY TITLES WITH G2 and who was one of the main factors of g2‘s success throughout the last several years. He ints sometimes, yes. But so does every good support. I really dont think i have to say much more about him. He just needs the confidence and trust (just as the others, its an overall confidence issue imo) And lastly, lets take a look on our coaching staff. TWO MEMBERS. Grabbz and gaax. Both good coaches. Grabbz who is talking clearly and very transparently about his team. Who has been with g2 for many years in the past. Won msi, went to worlds finals. I really cant believe how grabbz and gaax manage to handle this all just by themselves. Great effort.. great effort… but sadly not enough. Yes we dont want to be just a winter split winner but it is NOT humanly possible just for 2 individuals to manage so many different stuff at the same time. As i mentioned before, every player has its own problems and concerns individually PLUS you have to deal with analysis, players psychology, performance, drafting, projects and bunch of other stuff i dont even know about since im just a fan. We have great players, we have winners. We just need to support them so they can actually win. But doing it with just 2 coaches, is not enough (even tho they are great and i love grabbz and gaax over anything). We are clearly lacking staff members. Dardo‘s work department changed, sure. It was a good choice but where is the replacement at? No general manager. Just 2 coaches having to deal with every single thing on the team. Please @sam, hire some more staff and help out our coaching staff. 2 ppl only can not handle everything on a professional team. The way this winter split went like, is the best proof you can have. I love you fnatic, lets hope for a better spring split. I love all players, really, just as grabbz and gaax. They just need some more staff to work with. Thanks for reading, sorry for some grammatical mistakes.^^
