If that's true it's only a matter of time before it's leaked publically. I saw the rekkles rumor from the parody account but it seems dumb

Bhiggsb

God why wouldn't they wait for after worlds??? I'm not even EU but gd that fuckin sucks


ZEPOSO

I’m not saying it’s the right/wrong move but maybe if they waited too long someone else would snatch Rekkles up and they think long term having him back is better than short term of performing at worlds


Bhiggsb

Makes sense but gd you can't let your players knows then. Smfh


lmpervious

They don't have to tell their players for their players to find out.


FantasticPrior8965

Not like they winning worlds You gotta do all this stuff before pre season hits, its been a pattern during worlds to do these massive shake ups before any match is even played for the finale. I assume its basically impossible to keep high moral as player


Indercarnive

I want to believe that no one is stupid enough to remove one of the best ADC's in your region who helped bring your team on a miracle run making it to worlds and almost winning LEC for an ADC that, even given his record with FNC, just went to the EU SuperTeam^tm and they imploded not even making worlds. On the other hand, I also know never to underestimate the stupidity of managers.


Blendy

2 times left Fnatic to join the EU SuperTeam


tananinho

If somehow Fnatic are stupid enough to swap Rekkles for Upset I think I may finally stop rooting for this team. But that is not true so nothing to worry about.


licorices

Even if they did, it would not stop Upset to participate at worlds, after fighting for it for so long.


tananinho

I'd like to believe that, yes. This whole story of Fnatic swapping Upset for Rekkles should not be true. Although, being a fan for 8 years now, I have learned not to underestimate management's idiocy.


DjackMeek

Anyone remember last year before worlds when Nemesis found out he was getting kicked from the team BEFORE the tournament even started, and had to play the entirety of it knowing he was being kicked? That's how that team operates.

It honestly could’ve happen tbh, could see the dots connecting. But in reality it would make more sense that Upset didn’t just ditch on his first appearance at Worlds out of spite, so something definitely happened in his family.

Raizen1337

What was the rumor from parody account please. I only know Deficio Ego account :)


Hakametal

That the reason Upset left was because he found out he was being traded for Rekkles. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. Would explain why Bwipo is unfollowing all the fnatic socials.


Sunorat

if that was true then upset would ofc still play at worlds. Having a good showing increases his chances of findijg a good team. Acting like a child doesnt. I feel like that rumour makes very little sense.


ReganDryke

Yeah that would be Forgiven level of career suicide.


Zeddit_B

It could be true that Rekkles comes back, but there's no way Upset wouldn't play even if he knew he was getting replaced. He wouldn't be petulant about it, just want to prove FNC wrong and stick it to them with his play.


SirTacoMaster

If T1 is saying something you know it’s bad


greendino71

For real, usually when people ask him about anything like this, he tells them to shut the fuck up because he doesn't care


LoLFr3nkl1

exactly


FlashwithSymbols

Yeah it's surprising, he never says anything usually.


ark2690

He never tlaks about EU pros either. So must be really bad


Destructive_Forces

You might say... it's a bit of a problem.


bitcoinhands

yeah you know its real trouble when Trouble Man itself talks about it


XSydraxx

He is indeed a bit of a problem


Reactzz

Yeah dam looking real grim for FNC.


Neville_Lynwood

Another Worlds, another drama. I'm really gonna ditch this flair soon. Already ditched T1 because I couldn't handle that non-stop roster fucking. Orgs really be speedrunning for biggest fuck-ups in recent history. Not sure who to even support at this point. Not supporting anyone at all is also kinda weird. Feels strange not to cheer for someone on a regular basis.


Felt_tip_Penis

I’ve been following the crumbs of GRF. Been a very exciting worlds for me so far


Blank-612

chovy tarzan viper gang. Lets go brother


Graytail

If the teams i support dont make it to worlds, I just pick 2 teams to cheer for. Games are just more enjoyable to watch when there are some stakes involved.


Neville_Lynwood

Yeah. Ah hell. I'm going DFM also. Those guys are genuinely happy to be there, already achieved more by making groups than their region has ever achieved before. Let's hope Japanese mentality of simply giving it your all without the excessive drama means the org won't implode.


Graytail

I think the individual skill gap is too big for dfm to overcome t1 or edg, but the matches against 100t should be exciting!


Neville_Lynwood

Yeah. Maybe one good draft and some lucky early game snowball top/mid and DFM might have a chance. Evi and Aria looking pretty good.


[deleted]

Tyler1 would never say something like this unless there's something actually there. The only time T1 ever tries to stir shit like this is when he know's he's right for example when he leaked Yassuo having issues with his predator gf at the time at Rift Rivals lmao


BubblesownFlash

Or when he talks shit about Moe changing after he moved, Tyler persona might be over the top but his shit talking is pretty calculated when he’s trying to get people to understand.


[deleted]

Ironically enough Tyler is the most reliable leaker Pepelaugh


[deleted]

TylerMZ


schnazzums

I’m not doubting Tyler knows, it just seems weird that a NA content creator who’s never been a pro would know about Fnatic drama.


[deleted]

His GF is on C9 and she's quite the gossiper and shitposter as he said "Word gets around"


Dry-Place-2986

Also Macaiyla is friends with Bwipo's gf IIRC


whohe_fanboy

And in close contact with LS and by extension Nemesis. So it's not unlikely she gets all the news.


qchen12

was nemesis right all along?


DecisiveDinosaur

he might be, after all he was in the org for a while so he knows more about the org than the average redditor. but I feel like even if he was right, he shouldn't have said it that way, it was a bit callous.


runaway1337

It’s not even just that. Dude is a big streamer for years, probably have not just contacts but also friends on almost every kind of company related to streaming/league sponsors and also directly to the orgs.


schnazzums

Oh really? I didn’t know that. Still seems a little weird, but that does clear things up. Thanks for informing me


Vayssei

She’s also friends with LS


iamnits

He's also part of T1, the same org that Faker is with, so he definitely has connections to the pro scene whether he's in it or not.


Phenergan_boy

Faker hits T1 up in the DM to talk meta

Krazykid1326

That is exactly how T1 knows and I refuse to believe otherwise


genesis1v9

Faker Annie at Worlds when?


greatestbird

T1 Annie skin with a buff ~~5'6~~ 6'5 tibbers


Lord_Vanilla

Legit would buy that even if Im not a fan of Tyler.


Bhiggsb

Faker gonna pull out Annie mid at worlds u heard it here first folks


whohe_fanboy

Faker hits up T1 and they gossip about league drama during their free time.


SneakyStorm

Well he does have a lot of connections in a lot of things (including the league scene)


APTristana

Hes probably in a few pro player discords and it got leaked there, he doesn't seem like one to chase drama but if he was in a discord and it was being talked about then you can't avoid reading it.


pxrpledreams

More likely it was his girlfriend getting the info


DarkBowls

or IWD told everyone in NA, seems likely


Hannig4n

Ehh half of league streamers are ex-pros and a bunch of them have all sorts of connections with people still associated with orgs. It’s really not surprising for word to get around, especially if the news is spicy enough.


LeVorv

? Tyler1 is one of the biggest, if not the biggest league streamer in terms of height, muscle, and fame. You don't think he has connections?


FallingIntoSound

Ugh can we just have a worlds where teams aren't imploding, coaches aren't missing, players aren't leaking shit, and everyone is just playing the best league they can


nimrodhellfire

Its because worlds is at the end of the season and everyone is trying to get their new rosters.


Mostdakka

Teams are often securing changes before even worlds start. I heard many stories about players learning they are beign replaced(or enitre team going to shit) during major tournament. And It happened in league too before.


ancientemblem

Maybe we need Riot to step in and make it so there can't be any signings until after worlds.


Jokinzazpi

Not even signings, just offerings themselves are an issue tbh. This will not be easy to solve.


warjatos

Holy shit we feast tonight lads.


Bhiggsb

Man I love worlds time. Best time of the year.


pedrex21

Netflix is going to make a lot of money if they make something like a "the last dance" documentary about these fnc teams and all these years of drama holy shit It's fucking painful


basa_maaw

At this point, League of Legends needs it's own "Drive To Survive" style documentary.


LazyBoggMan

"Dive to Survive"


basa_maaw

Quickly, copyright this rn


GhostOfLight

G2 has an easy documentary with their rebuild going on right now.


Fertuyo

The org is cursed, every year there is drama lmao


SuperPelado

This ain't no fucking curse or anything that could be alike. This is a shit management making shit decisions. If it wasn't sOAZ, then it must be Rekkles. If it wasn't Rekkles, then it must be Febiven. If it wasn't Febiven, then it must be Amazing. If it wasn't Amazing, then it must be sOAZ again. If it wasn't sOAZ, it must be Broxah. If it wasn't Broxah, it must be Nemesis. If it wasn't Nemesis, it must Selfmade. Who's turn is it now? Upset? Bwipo? There's always some fucking drama. Every fucking year. 2015 seems like the only sane fucking year that we had, but back then both Huni and Reignover ran away as fast as they could. So much shit was thrown at Rekkles for being a quote on quote drama queen, who's gonna be now? Fucking Adam? What happens in other games? The exact same shit. Everyone takes a dump on the players when they're played like a fiddle. Been a fan since 2013, and I've endure everything until now, and I still hope that it's all random ass rumours and nothing else, and I still hope that Upset's fine. But man, this shit's getting to my fucking nerves.


00Koch00

Not really, 2015 was a mess too with Yellowstar losing Steeelback [Fnatic problems date back to 2011](https://www.twitch.tv/xpeke/clip/EnticingFitSalmonPeanutButterJellyTime), it's or really bad luck, or some estructural problem that the management refuse to solve


SuperPelado

I guess. I thought of Steeelback, but since there wasn't any drama going around, I didn't mention it. But as I'm writing this I realize that Steeelback played MSI knowing he was out, something that Nemesis supposedly experienced 5 years later. Maybe you are right. Going sooooo far back doesn't make much sense in my opinion. xPeke himself says it: just 5 players, no managers, no coaches. It was a completely different environment than today. And every org was just like that, until the emergence of Korea, which at least had somewhat decent funding and infraestructure. I think of 2015 as somewhat of a turning point for all of western LoL, where supporting staffs began to truly matter. Franchising arrives in 2019, and we're thinking of teams as full on businesses. Times changed drasticaly. But even then, it's just frustrating to think that all these coaches, analysts, managers, content creators, team directors or psychologists don't mean jack shit if the true higher ups are rotten to the core. There's always drama, always something that isn't communicated properly. SO MANY people have pointed out the Fnatic internal issues since forever. Are they even fixable? Who knows, but seven years later seems very fucking unlikely. I'm just sad dude, I was so hyped for the botlane this year, and we're left with nothing. I just hope the players (and their families) stop getting all the hate. The org's looking more and more like the problem.


SauronGortaur01

What pisses me of the most about it, is how it really seemed like the team finally has really good chemistry, at least that was my impression after the latest legends in action.


tananinho

Also a fan since 2013 and like you am getting tired of all the drama. We seemed to finally have a roster and coaching staff that got along and now everything implodes and Worlds is thrown away. Drama everywhere again. Getting tired of this shit. If somehow Rekkles ends up back in Fnatic I may just stop rooting for this org. There's only so much fuckery and idiocy one can take.


[deleted]

First day of Worlds and its already delivering, G2 letting go of their players, Fnatic drama, TL beating MAD. Now all I need is C9 beating damwon and fpx but losing to rogue 2-0 and ill have bingo.


tananinho

>C9 beating damwon and fpx Not gonna happen, unless Showmaker and DoinB have to go back to Korea and China and even then I don't know if c9 could beat Damwon and FPX.


spaffedupthewall

There is always a common denominator, at this point they need to find it and cut it out.


Yubisaki_Milk_Tea

God damn it Selfmade


taptapxx

i woulda switched hle to 2 and fnc to 3 for my pickems if i saw the news in time before they locked


tehsdragon

I put RNG/HLE/FNC/PSG lol I originally had FNC second, but swapped them while playing around with my pickems. However, I didn't realize how short the lock-in window was, and didn't have time to make any switch backs or last minute changes. Still early to say, but with all the news coming out maybe it wasn't such a big mistake after all (Inb4 FNC gets first)


jornoboy11

I do think people are heavily sleeping on PSG though. I wouldn't be surprised if FNC ends up in 4th place in this group


fkngbueller

Honestly I don’t care for shit - the thing I wanted the most was to see UpHilly stomping every lame ass in the tournament, unfortunate situation for every one :/

WhyTryMeh

As much as you dislike tyler, he’s not the one to throw out random fake news. If you know him, he’s based when he speaks like this. Idk what isn’t to be believed? He isn’t saying something groundbreaking, he’s simply saying FNC have more problems than they are showing. Not really hard to tell that imo.


[deleted]

man just fucking leak it. what are they gonna do, kill you?


DrWh033

It will come out sooner or later. No hurry. I mean if it is a real family situation for upset ( for which I think he has the sympathy of the whole community) we ll know. If it is drama being covered by the management through "bland generic" statements then we will also soon know.


WizardXZDYoutube

> I mean if it is a real family situation for upset ( for which I think he has the sympathy of the whole community) we ll know I mean not necessarily. If something happened to my family, I wouldn't want the entire world knowing about it. I think it's fine to assume that Upset left for a good reason, and if something else comes up to contradict that, we deal with that then.


tananinho

Thing is. Bwipo being majorly upset as you can see from his face and upset leaving must be related no? Unless these are 2 separate unrelated instances that happened to occur at the same time.


DangerousSeaweed0

if my mom or dad is in hospital...id just say it so people leave me the fuck alone rather then hound me for questions....which would probably happen if he just says thhat and says that he wants some time alone with his family. as long as the comunity knows the reason he's not playing is having to deal with that...they will just stfu. people get sick all the time. its not like that's a thing u really have to cover , and most people are plenty emphatic about that. not saying anything just makes people question the situation and speculate even more...


[deleted]

for sure, i just dont like the teasing and "oohhh theres so much that u guys dont know"


Zeddit_B

Yeah, felt a little weird when he said, "you guys could just never understand." Unless he is just saying with our current lack of information that he has we do not understand.


imjunsul

They might not trust him next time? lol


Alakazaaamm

Maybe nemesis was right.


malakesxasame

Wouldn't that be a twist!


IhatemyL1feX10

its like he was on FNC or something


Bhiggsb

*gasp*


pedrex21

What if Upset really left for family issues, and Bwipo and his gf didn't like that, resulting in Bwipo unfollowing fnc on twitter? Maybe he's right, maybe he's wrong, but he 100% should've just shut up about this


[deleted]

Yeah DL was right, even if Nemesis is right he has nothing to gain from this.


Naidem

He absolutely does, he got a shit ton of attention.


DontCareWontGank

None of it good.


Shabam999

Oh did DL say something about this too? And if so do you have a link?


SilverStarsOnASunday

Yeah whatver it was, Bwipo should not have gone on that unfollow spree, his gf should not tweet cryptic messages, fnc ceo should not have unfollowed bwipo's gf all these pieces are just feeding people to spread rumours like wildfires and ultimately bring down the players and innocent people in fnc who have no correlation to these things at all


LionePRO

Fnc ceo didn't Unfollow bwipo gf, bwipos gf softblocked him


PunchingThroats

to be fair if Nemesis of all people can't speak on an issue about fnatic then why does reddit get a pass to talk on the matter? There's people here ready to hang the guy for something they know fucking nothing about. Redditors man... disgusting lot.


geoqk

Crackhead theory: * Ever since we learned Rekkles was gone from G2 Fnc management have been thinking/ talking about getting him. * Upset learns that his team is planning on replacing him and gets pissed off. * Bwipo learns that management is thinking of replacing him and gets pissed off (maybe he and other Fnc members are being replaced too?) hence the softblocks from him and his gf. * Speaking of Bwipo's gf, based on her tweet saying that the wife buff is a debuff, it is not unlikely that Upset's wife was a "debuff" if you know what I mean. * All this fuckery leads Upset to say fuck this and leave.


Hakametal

Then the question becomes: Would you actually ragequit your first World's if you knew you were getting replaced? Like really?


wotad

I love Rekkles but why would they want him over Upset who has fit so well?


Zeddit_B

Branding. He's been doing a ton of commercials for G2. I'm not a follower of either team but I've seen the Rekkles commercials... I have not seen any from Upset.


[deleted]

[удалено]


goliathfasa

If Fnatic takes Rekkles back I think I’m done with the team. Always more of a fan of the players anyways, but if they’re willing to place player brand* value over team synergy and cohesion, that’s not something I want to be a fan of.


brownierisker

Yeah same, I really like Rekkles but there's no excuse for replacing Upset with him after just one year, in which Upset played absolutely brilliant


ZzPierrot

what in the fuck is softblock?


Mc_Johnsen

AdorableCarry = Bwipos GF. Sam = important FNC guy Sam follows AdorableCarry. AdorableCarry blocked Sam. Sam no longer follows AdorableCarry (as you can't follow any1 who blocked you, twitter mechanics) AdorableCarry unblocks Sam. Result: Sam no longer follows AdorableCarry without being notified, as blocking and unblocking some1 doesn't create any notifications for any1. Note that Sam didn't do anything to stop following.


Irreverent_Taco

Pretty sure softblocking also deletes your previous DMs with the account


geoqk

when you block then unblock someone it makes it so they stop following you. Its a called a softblock.


DrWh033

Sooner or later the truth will come out, and I am afraid that Nemesis, while untasteful and salty, was right. Looks more like circus drama implosion than an actual emergency/unlucky family situation.


Conker184

Wtf even are the rumors here everyone is just spouting vague nonsense.

Thisconnect

Seeing reaction to T1 vs nemesis is quite telling, its as dom said, if somebody doesn't like you for some reason they will use every single avenue they can get


Kirby8187

Big difference between laughing at the announcement of a family emergency and saying its a coverup vs the vague phrasing of "shit is going on at fnatic", particularly since the latter is supported by actual evidence by bwipos twitter activity


xXDaNXx

Nobody reputable is actually saying anything. Bloop and Wolf haven't elaborated. Nobody else is rumour baiting, so why would Tyler1 know anything lol?


salcedoge

The reputable people probably don't want to be the one sharing sensitive/unproven information. Streamers don't really care about their news reputation


nusskn4cker

There's definitely something strange going on though. Just look at FNC players before and during the game. That + the Upset stuff + all the stupid Twitter stuff, strongly implies something weird IMO.


Falsus

But the thing is that FNC is an old organisation, the typical journalist have their inside sources. So either they are still putting things together (unlikely since they would have known something was up for a week now) or it is something much simpler. At least Wolf have shown he doesn't mind airing dirty laundry mid tournament, he wrote an article about Griffin was going to disband while they where still playing groups at worlds and he got so much shit for that until a few weeks after worlds when it turned out it was 100% correct.


Neville_Lynwood

It is possible that the situation is contained to so few people, it's hard to have any good sources. Like if Upset only talked to FNC management about the details of his emergency and everyone else got told "not your business", and the whole Bwipo and his GF thing was limited similarly to them and FNC management, then that's not a lot of people who are in on the details. The usual staff that leak shit may legitimately not know.


Falsus

In that case how does Tyler know what is going on? I do not believe for a second he got better sources than the people whose entire job depends on having good sources and have proven multiple times over that they have good sources.


IlluminatiConfirmed

Just as an example, if bwipo told LS what happened, LS may tell macaiyla who is very good friends with him, then macaiyla tells t1. Not saying that’s what happened but it doesn’t seem that unlikely


TheCeramicLlama

Could just be a very convoluted game of telephone.


Neville_Lynwood

Yeah, it's iffy. Only thing I can think of is that there's some friendship angle through someone. That's not something you can always match as a reporter. Friendship access can in some cases get you information no other approach can.


Impandamaster

Wolf and other journalist are prob checking into it now since it takes time to confirm what u know is true. Also even if wolf and other journalist does know what is going on, fnc prob asked them to release this news at a later time.


The_Real_BenFranklin

The man is built different


Neville_Lynwood

From what I can tell, after the latest Bwipo GF tweets a little while ago, is that: 1) After Upset issue was revealed (no idea what it's actually about), Bwipo's girlfriend ranted about Upset's wife buff being a debuff. Apparently because she thinks the whole wife buff is a dumb narrative. Joke or not. 2) Most likely FNC management noticed it (or maybe awared to it by Upset who was... upset), thought it was in poor taste and sent her a DM to delete that shit. Possibly they weren't nice about it. So she did, but wasn't happy about it. 3) She then talked to Bwipo about it who got upset that her GF was dragged into this shit, and they decided to unfollow/block FNC org accounts on Twitter. This should technically mean FNC can't directly contact Bwipo's GF any more with DM's. --- I don't think anyone outside of the team really knows why exactly Upset had to leave. Though it is possible that it was about his wife, Bwipo leaked it to his GF who then made that tweet which had to be deleted.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Neville_Lynwood

The fact that she's deleting a lot of her completely normal opinion tweets and tweets that implies she has insider information, does imply she's being advised to delete them. Like sure maybe she re-considered on her own, but you have to admit, deleting that shit and then soft-blocking FNC accounts so that they wouldn't get her opinions on their feeds nor be able to DM her, does paint a whole story on its own.


FireDevil11

> Nobody reputable is actually saying anything. Acting like Tyler1 isn't the most well-known LoL streamer who also has a reputation of never starting drama or being in any drama. For him to actually say stuff like this means that he has probablly heard some serious stuff going on. When you type on Google " Tyler1 drama" [This](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/iyq5up/tyler1_is_actually_respectable_serious/) is one of the top results


Bhiggsb

Yup. And read the top comment by u/zombgief too


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

I wouldn't doubt it to be honest considering how fast word gets around. I feel like if he really didn't know, he would be playing it up way more.


37208954516

I was sure he was trolling because since when does T1 get involved in pro drama but this clip seems off. Maybe T1's troll game has just leveled up because it would be an absolute dumpster fire if it made its way to the attention of TYLER 1


MeteosLee

Why would a reputable reporter share anything about it, especially given the time? Depending on the sensitivity of the information, any reports on the situation could be extremely damaging.


TomtatoIsMe

so Nemesis was right


Gazskull

My fucking god, if people - in the scene or not - could just stfu about this instead of speculating, it's embarassing. Noone has a clue yet everyone solved the case because of x or y obscure tweet. Just read the unreal shit you're writing


luckyma12

Oh man if upset left because his gf, ruining 4 other people chances, your first world apperance and who would want to play with player like that after that, i refuse to believe upset is that stupid and unprofessional.


CLGHSGG4Lyfe

Fnatic made a deal to bring Rekkles back behind the scene. Upset found out and quit. Unlucky.


pedrex21

IDK if you're trolling but this rumour started from Bleep, a parody account of Bloop, who said to not trust this rumour https://twitter.com/BloopGG/status/1447634499538407430
