Read moreI'm not previous poster, but I am also a (very) long time FNC fan and LEC watcher so I can provide some perspective.
I don't personally think you were somehow out of line in this (or any other) cast, but I have noticed this split that narrative and talking points by cast and especially analysts on broadcast are very negative. Basically, talking points that you guys reiterate on Fnatic are:
- heavily prone to throwing in late game (which is generally untrue this year and based entirely on last year's summer finals - it's not even the same team anymore)
- emotional and based on momentum (even though this and last year iteration of the team managed to turn around a number of BO series after starting with a loss)
- inconsistent
- unreliable
Now I'm not saying that these are entirely false, but if I just tuned into LEC this year and only listened to cast/analysis on broadcast, I would come to conclusion that Fnatic are bottom feeder team. ...
Hey there, I really appreciate you replying and I think your perspective is completely fair. I want to start by saying I think this is easy to solve and a general tone shift for fnatic can be achieved, but I'd like to provide some examples of where these comments come from.
While it's true that fnatic throwing in the late game was something prevalent to the team last year, its something we've actually already seen from them this split like in Game 2 of their series vs SK. Inconsistency comments are also tied to this. They go from losing to SK one week and beating KC the next. With only 1 series being played a week, It can be hard to gauge their performance given their results.
When we think about last split, I stand firm in my belief that they should've lost their series to BDS and wouldn't have made top 3. They themselves acknowledged how poorly that series was played.
I want to reiterate that I completely understand how you feel. For example BDS last year...
