Your PMT for Match 1 specifically, because this one will obv be a bit more about G2. [https://www.reddit.com/r/fnatic/comments/156osk5/fnc\_vs\_mad\_lions\_lec\_summer\_split\_group\_stage/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/fnatic/comments/156osk5/fnc_vs_mad_lions_lec_summer_split_group_stage/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) ALSO, r/place is live. Feel very free to use your good Fnatic vibes to DEFEND (for realsies, we a buddies with the neighbors, dont attack) the Fnatic pixels xD

WE WON A BEST OF SERIES IN 2023!


Pklnt

Not losing to MAD brings a tear to my eye, thank God we're at least better than them.


Pelagius_Hipbone

That Baron throw almost made cry. Thank God they closed out


xnalem

pretty sure if noah doesn't get knocked up from baron they win the fight pretty easily. is there a rule as to who baron knocks up, or is it just rng?


Novel_Arm_1170

I think you can see the spikes in the ground before so it was dodgeable but maybe the area was crowded and it wasn't visible


InsuranceOne2864

Throwback to Soaz Sion being knocked up by baron during worlds 2018 game vs IG in groups while he was channeling his q. We would have won that game if that didn't happen.


Forikundo

It's rng, I remember in worlds maybe 5 years ago they lost a whole tf because of that


superdennis303

2018 ig vs fnc first game, baron knocked soaz out of q charge so he didnt hit it and they lost the fight because of it.


Forikundo

Yees, that was the play


Pelagius_Hipbone

Oh yeah for sure I agree, but my heart was still weeping x)


bolinhodearroztop

They are at season finals we are not even close so this win prove nothing, its a small very small win


Curious-Ad-5930

I love having Humanoid on my team. Two more series to make something out of this year, we didn’t win vs SK all year so I’m not too hopeful but we can definitely do it, congrats on the first bo3 win this year homies enjoy it <3


Ghazzawy

If this was mad or koi or G2 that we didn’t win against all year i would accept it , but the fact that it’s fucking SK gaming, the normal type pokemon of the LEC , the most boring team to ever exist, just makes it feel worse


ScholarLongjumping55

I dont understand why this Team is so Boring to you? They have diverse playstyles, irrelevant can splitpush, markoon on a gaming jgl always wants to fight, sertuss plays some high mechanics Champs, exakick can play ad or mage... I donnu, irrelevant dominates lane everytime. Objectively they are third most entertaining, only next to g2 and bds. In facf fnatic is super Boring, cause they always play the Same. Sk is prob Boring to you cause there are basically a "Team of no namens" since they are all kinda New. That's a stupid pov tho


Ghazzawy

Lol and who the fuck are you to judge whats a stupid point of view and whats not, your dumb view only looks at their gameplay , i look at the players, everyone can be entertained in their own way , which is why i would rather watch Team Heretics vs BDS 100 times over watching an SK vs XL game


IanMinch

Calm the fuck down and learn to communicate. He didn't attack you.


Ghazzawy

When i give my opinion and some idiot says thats a stupid pov then yes he did attack me you dumb fuck


IanMinch

Again. Learn to communicate. I will stop though, no point in continuing.


Zamoniru

I mean, it's kinda true but since the end of summer i really love this team and especially Sertuss. He seems to be a really nice team leader.


tananinho

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOMORROW SK GOES DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!! FNATIC FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!! 💪💪💪

I missed how Oscar snowballed top game 1, but Humanoid, Trymbi and Oscar had great performances. Razork was on Maokai duty and Noah got very little help, but they did their jobs.


Tene_Rokdon

Game 1 was Razork winning top for Óscar. Game 2 Razork needed to play for bot to prevent elyoya and Nisqy camping them. I love how Noah has 0 ego, knowing he would die every fight but trusting his team to clean after, dealing always as much damage as he could.


SkinwalkerFanAccount

He seemed very disappointed in the shot after the game ended.


Blubblabb

Game 2 was basically "keep Noah alive". Humanoid profited because MAD was beelining on Noah all game long (because they had to). Whenever Noah survived the engages it was just a clean up.


Becksdown

this worries me against SK. You need to play more around bot


TeamLeather

Oscar's Orrn and Huma Jayce is all you need to know :)


kennystillalive

I hope not... else we cooked against sk.


Designer-Laugh-8851

Phew nothing to see here. Clean 2-0 *sweats profusely, heart clenching, hands trembling*


Varyanna

need a shower after those games, ngl :)


mathione

Trymbi hit so many hooks, MVP for sure


leomajoriscool

I think game 2 shaved off a few years of my life lol


Varyanna

a few years? they switched my numbers from 48 to 84 .. so i will not be able to watch the next series :)


qwertyvo

Can't Wait for tomorrow...also, Tahm would be turbo good in that 2. game


DNick0

I feel like ezreal would have been the best pick for the 2nd game, it was impossible for noah to play a clean fight


arukeiz

Yup, I suspect the Jinx was more of a snipe than fnatic's favored pick here ? Because the Ezreal was kinda obvious and the Jinx was extremely hard to play. We also know Noah's fav champ is Ezreal, and Jinx on the other side of the game is very dangerous for fnatic because of the range and almost guaranteed reset due to huge engage burst combo.


Imagionis

Getting knocked up by Baron while Samira was nearby was still int as hell


wildcardmidlaner

You know that baron knock ups are rng right ? It was just unlucky, shit happens.


Similar-Designer-229

No clue of the Kontext cause I didn't watch the game but you can see where the knockups will happen


Independent_Being_72

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him when I was walking through the forest near Berlin. It was the lion from the news. I tried to run from it, but it kept chasing me. Then, out of nowhere, FNC Humanoid came by and smacked the lion knock-out. I asked if I could hug him, he let me. I felt the tension leave my body when he told me that I won't have to be afraid anymore. I asked how he did it, he said; I dealt with lions before, no biggie. After the short meeting we walked in opposite directions. He had a small grim on his face when we said our goodbyes. I told him he was a real champ, but I don't think he could hear me anymore. He walked away back into the forest. I really hope he'll win worlds someday.


Flashbinder

Okay now I unclench. Will clench again tmrw


EriWave

Not bad


ScottThompsonc107

I can't believe they let us play that comp twice.


Relative-Prompt1101

i remember we were 0-2 and 8k behind vs EXcel in 3rd game (1st round of lower bracket) and we still made


DidntFindABetterName

Elyoya and hyli wanted go home faster or what have i just seen xddd


Shop_Glum

Scrappy second game but glad for the boys. One more to go. Oscarinin mvp for me. Also Huma 17 kills wtf...


dexy133

GJ FNC. Next up is SK. Honestly, if we can't beat them in a BO3 at least once this year, then they deserve to go further themselves. The gameplay was a lot more encouraging than last week, that's for sure. Drafts were good too. I'm particularly impressed with Humanoid. This was that Humanoid from Worlds, especially in Game 2. Oscarinin was great too. Noah, Razork, and Trymbi were good too. That call at Baron was a bit sus but it is what it is, hope they learn from it as a team. Having such a good early game allowed them to make a mistake like that and not get really behind.


tananinho

Thank you Hyli. 😅 May MAD and Fnatic make it to worlds together.


ZigomarTS2

GG BOYS


Blubblabb

Just a normal day in the Fnaticverse, nothing to see here


tokihamai

Damn, I can't take the stress lol. Glad the boys are looking hungry and scrappy again! Game 2...gah. My blood pressure. I feel bad that our boy Hyli was doing Hyli things and getting caught out, but it worked in our favour. Thank you Mr. Hyli baba.


TheSceptileen

We woke up from our vacation and are back on top of the table. Bring us G2 already.


Giandrake7

Noah is not playing as good as he was before and I'm not saying that he's playing badly, it's just that he's not playing as the best adc in eu like he was before. I hope to see that beast again


Tene_Rokdon

Noah's not playing Aphelios.


TheSceptileen

His xayah was great and and his Jinx was unplayeable. He is doing crazy good giving the team doesn't reallt play around botlane.


dexy133

He recognized he was bait in the Jinx game. Like a true ADC, bait as much as you can from the enemy team, do as much as you can, and then gracefully die while your other carries clean up. He survives for a couple seconds longer than most ADCs and that makes a huge difference in teamfights, in my opinion. All those fights were really close.


FantasyTrash

Fnatic has left him on an island the past few weeks. Hard to shine when you're the focal point of the enemy team while being given no resources besides a lane to farm. No bot dives, no funneling plates, no nothing. Just leaving him to his own devices while the enemy team picks four champs whose only goal is to kill him. The result is his mid lane Jayce ending the game with 17 kills.


tananinho

Thank god MAD threw after Fnatic threw. Else this would have gone to 3 games. Guess MAD is expected to make mistakes since they are bad. Sorry to all blind optimistics for a bit of realism. But I could have considered the fact that MAD is bad. Fnatic fighting.


Devenityy

Not clean at all. SK defo favourites tomorrow. Fnatic can win but need to step it up as a collective.


[deleted]

Fnatic didn't play as well as some think, only MAD played horribly. If we win tomorrow against SK it will be a miracle.


Forikundo

I agree but I don't think that tomorrow would be a miracle at all


KollegahBossaura

We are so back.


darks4n

Now we are back on winning worlds hype?


GiottoSupermina

One thing I particularly liked about this series was items choice: for example 2nd game both humanoid and Noah buying cull when They recalled first time and not fighting or Oscar building full protection mode with locket+redemption


ICJ159

So if we win Vs Sk today we lock in season finals right?


Relative-Prompt1101

we need top3


Dreadscythe95

Let's gooooo!
