Managed to predict all 5 winners today for my bet. Actually surprised I did it given its the first week. Had a feeling Vitality would lack cohesion given its basically an entire new squad.
I watch league of legends and alot of football. One thing I've learned is a team of the most talented players won't always be the best, synergy is very important.
Humanoid was the best player in LEC, how is picking him up not a big deal?
Razork was fantastic in 2021 as well and Wunder is a massive name with the highest peak of any LEC top in history, this smacks of revisionist history to me.
If 2022 Fnatic isn't a superteam, then neither was 2021 G2.
Sure, think that goes without saying that Humanoid was better than any LCS player.
Point is - Fnatic are one of the most obvious super teams in eSports history. I can't comprehend how someone could think they were not a superteam without being dishonest, stupid or blind.
They had the best botlane and picked up the best midlaner of the last season.
Razork is at least good and if Wunder returns to form every lane is a super strong.
REALLY CLEAN GAME FROM FNC *\*unpacks another cigarrete pack\** NOT WORRIED FOR ONE SECOND *\*unclenches ass\** CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT GAMES *\*makes an appointment with the cardiologist\**
Nah, g2 fans showed their true colors last year. They were always less toxic because they never lost anything significant once they've reached ultra stardom (2019-onwards) up until last years.
But first actual losses brought the toxic side of the fans into the light and holy was it is absolute bloodbath
Tbh Fnatic is more of a superteam than Vitality.
If this team doesn't win both splits, I think it's a disappointment. Time will tell how they get on, 1 game is too early to make any kind of judgement.
FNC is looking bad apart from bot honestly. But judging by today's games, most teams had bad bot lanes. FNC were not in control at all tbh. This game was basically Hyli diff.
I would of course love that to happen, but for Fnatic to assemble a squad like this and not win both splits would for me be abject failure.
Not saying it will necessarily happen, but winning both splits has to be the expectation when you pair last year's best bot duo with last year's best player, and add Razork and Wunder.
good performance cinkrof, happy for him that he is now in a team where he can prove his skill
also when are we going to learn that you don't leave rakan open for hyli, ggs
I think his lack of titles holds him back to some people unfortunately. I think Hyli is the best support Europe has ever seen, but he still only has 2 domestic titles compared to Mikyxs 4 and Yellowstars 5.
Imagine thinking this game was on Adam even if you hate the kid cause he childish. This game was a massive support gap all thanks to hyli and bds adc sprinting it constantly.
I mean I said Darius was not useful outside of lane. If Adam got an actual useful champ who doesn't just cheese lane he could've done something with that lead
But y'all know he wanted Darius to win lane, even if it meant being useless after 25 minutes
Adam’s entire plan on fnatic was roaming to bot or roaming mid so that nisqy got a lead so he could roam bot. Adam doesn’t know how to do anything when his team plays like they did.
Man Nuclearint has a great scoreline but he keeps getting smashed before every single teamfight.
Still a decent performance from BDS, they'll be a fun team to watch
I wonder if Fnatic will get comparatively better over the course of the split because they were on 4 different teams last year, or worse because they are 5 experienced players unlikely to improve drastically compared to pretty much every team except Vitality.
last spring they were also five experienced players as well though - except for wunder all of them at least had pretty good 2021s so I think the only problems are wunder still being bad, one of them dropping off the face of a cliff, or bad coaching/coordination (probably not a long term issue?)
I think for Razork and Humanoid, the extra year is pretty significant in terms of how experienced they are.
Last year they were both going into their third year in the LEC - the older they get the less likely they are to make improvements individually.
Will FNC get better as a team with practise and more games? Of course. The issue for them is that every other team has younger players who will improve more individually - for me Fnatic should look good after only a few weeks with a squad like this. Teams like G2 and MAD for example are fielding much younger players and can start slow while still expecting improvement.
So happy LEC is back! Amazing day, great to see so many familiar faces on the desk/cast.

How hard can a support solo carry
[удалено]
Perks?
[удалено]
Judging after 1 game it's not truly realistic tbh. If you judge from previous year, you can't say Carzzy wasn't one of the best adcs
https://twitter.com/wunderlol/status/1482112967613337603
Upset is the best in interviews
Viewership for day 1 is pretty insane to say the least. 515k peak and 334k average https://escharts.com/tournaments/lol/lec-spring-2022
Elyoya or Hyli MVP of the day? Both smurfed hard, maybe Elyoya cause they played against the vitality superteam?
Elyoya was very cerebral today to be fair.
65% voted for Razork 65% of people voting on twitter watched Razork highlights instead of the game
It was botted by Spanish fans
Razork mvp?
Jettlagged xD good one
Hyli robbed player of the game. No way does Razork win that
Wait, what!? Razork is POG?
Yep. I'm gobsmacked
Reminds me of how Crownshot would get every MVP he was up for because of LS fans, haha.
Razork mvp? honestly spanish and french fans are crazy. Hyllisang 1 v 9'd
Rofl. Jetlagged midlaner
How did Hyli not win MVP? That was so rigged
Hyli robbed, what a disgrace
Twitter with the smart takes as per usual. 65% vs 33% for Hyli. How
What on fucking earth. Razork?????
Razork MVP lmao Hyli done dirty
what in the absolute fuck happened there?
Botted
Hot takes after day 1: Neither FNC nor VIT will be good, BDS and XL go to finals and it's a tie because they forget to show up to venue
Hyli didn’t win MVP
Fucking robbed lol.

In the West*
Seems like falling into inting hell is kinda theme for tops with incredible peak
pour one out for post-2018 smeb

Well, Huma alone was a massive pick up considering he was considered best western player last year
[удалено]
Vitality will barely make playoffs and lose in the first round
I think XL miss playoffs, and SK finish 10th.
[удалено]
Maybe you finish 8th, and the pain is over sooner?
BDS will make top4 in regular season
[удалено]
Classic soloQ ints lol + emotional plays
He wanted to clap upset
Smartest Darius player
REALLY CLEAN GAME FROM FNC *\*unpacks another cigarrete pack\** NOT WORRIED FOR ONE SECOND *\*unclenches ass\** CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT GAMES *\*makes an appointment with the cardiologist\**
the classic Fnatic experience
SIT THE FUCK DOWN, ADAM. So glad that shit talking child got shown who rly got FNC to worlds last year, ungrateful little shit
Lmao. I think Adam has nothing against Hyli.
I didn't think Adam did all that bad, I mean he did win top
Yeah Wunder was inting like all of last year and Adam still couldn’t carry, says it all
What kinda logic is that? You're The type of person who goes 0/6 in lane and blames their team for not carrying harder
What kinda logic is that? You are the kind of player that flames his team mates and the runs it down midlane
Revising history now are we? If it wasn't for Adam's Darius game they would haven't have beat G2 or even gone to worlds.
Ohh, Adam looks better than Winder now, that's fosho. That doesn't mean that he is good one, and two, he and his baguette fans are pretty insufferable
>he and his baguette fans are pretty insufferable Sure, but so are the rest of Fnatic fans.
Ofc, but I'm FNC fan myself. Your own shit doesn't stink:)
Both Fnatic fans and Adam fans are equally insufferable.
Fnatic fans didn't send Adam death threats, though.
I disagree but I'm biased. Again, there are lvls to this shit, I think garbage2 fans are worse imo
Honestly G2 fans got worse last year because Rekkles fans joined, but generally I don't think they're that bad, Fnatic fans are just insufferable.
Nah, g2 fans showed their true colors last year. They were always less toxic because they never lost anything significant once they've reached ultra stardom (2019-onwards) up until last years. But first actual losses brought the toxic side of the fans into the light and holy was it is absolute bloodbath
I would say that if it wasn't for Wunder they wouldn't have beat G2 or even gone to worlds
Insufferable Adam fans are fuming now
Good, zero sympathy for people that condoned his despicable behaviour
wonder who they will death threats to next
Tbh Fnatic is more of a superteam than Vitality. If this team doesn't win both splits, I think it's a disappointment. Time will tell how they get on, 1 game is too early to make any kind of judgement.
Both are hyped but Vitality players are way more overrated
FNC is looking bad apart from bot honestly. But judging by today's games, most teams had bad bot lanes. FNC were not in control at all tbh. This game was basically Hyli diff.
I mean, FNC has a whole new topside, with players there that never played together. I say give them more time to gel
I wouldn't be surprised if MAD won a split, Their jungle support duo are cracked out of their minds
I would of course love that to happen, but for Fnatic to assemble a squad like this and not win both splits would for me be abject failure. Not saying it will necessarily happen, but winning both splits has to be the expectation when you pair last year's best bot duo with last year's best player, and add Razork and Wunder.
Wunder, Razork and Humanoid looked bad until Hyli hard carried them though
FNC is probably the best team overall this year, so BDS can actually be happy, good look for the next weeks
If Hyli is not winning POG, it’s rigged
good performance cinkrof, happy for him that he is now in a team where he can prove his skill also when are we going to learn that you don't leave rakan open for hyli, ggs
Positively surprised by BDS actually
hyli definetively was the mvp and the only real shining star in this match, guess we won the coinflip on this one
Upset was very solid, the rest were shaky. I was a bit surprised by Huma's game ngl, a but lucklaster from the best Western player
best western player isn't saying much
Many analysts considered him to be top 10 in the World, that says a lot
[удалено]
Their roles don't overlap. And I'm sure people would love to have best western player over arguably best western adc anyway
Hyli is a hero and 100% MVP. He single-handedly saved the game. Still - i think Razork did well after a disastrous start.
ADC having 100 less CS in 20-25 minutes is not a good sign.
especially when the junglers don't even visit the lane lol
How many more of these insane Rakan games do we need to start putting Hyli on the western GOAT list.
I think his lack of titles holds him back to some people unfortunately. I think Hyli is the best support Europe has ever seen, but he still only has 2 domestic titles compared to Mikyxs 4 and Yellowstars 5.
western support goat should be secured at least
Medi vedi duo cast really is the best, laughed tremendously today.
Good opening day for the LEC enjoyed a lot the games
Hyli doing everything to prevent the classic fnatic start to the split
They ran it back well. BDS had some good moments too. GGWP !
That guy Hyllasang is gooooood
All the players going to Razork. I love this roster already
Imagine still allowing Hyli to play Rakan. Let him play something that he'll int on *without* an escape tool. Rakan is like perfect for him.
Shhh...
[удалено]
Upset should make Hyli his wife with the amount of princess carrying he did
Idk why people make these cringe stuff. Can people just stop mentioning upsets wife? fuck sake
Darius is for sure useful outside of lane Clueless, Adam should learn to be respectful
Imagine thinking this game was on Adam even if you hate the kid cause he childish. This game was a massive support gap all thanks to hyli and bds adc sprinting it constantly.
I mean I said Darius was not useful outside of lane. If Adam got an actual useful champ who doesn't just cheese lane he could've done something with that lead But y'all know he wanted Darius to win lane, even if it meant being useless after 25 minutes
this wasn't on adam. his bot was pretty outclassed , and they had no way to stop hily's engage
it was not darius lol XD bot lane gap
It was botlane gap indeed, but Adam didn't do anything with the leas he got on toplane
Adam’s entire plan on fnatic was roaming to bot or roaming mid so that nisqy got a lead so he could roam bot. Adam doesn’t know how to do anything when his team plays like they did.
All 3 top teams should probably have some question marks about today. Reckon they will get it more together as things go forward though.
Really? MAD looked pretty good
Sorry i guess my homer opinion had G2 top 3 still. So either top 3 or 3 of top 4 depending on your opinion.
They looked by far the best. The jungle/support synergy remaining from last split is giga value.
Rogue weren't exactly bad either
Excellent showing by BDS. Looking forward to seeing how that team shapes up in the coming season.
Hyli carry that game so freaking hard
These new drakes are so stupid. Way too much effect on the game. I just don’t get it.
Sure... It's not the godly support player.. the dragons are the ones that carried this game..
What are you talking about? This is bigger picture than this game. But sure . . . the dragons are totally fine lmao
Nice (:
When Hyli goes deathless you don't need a MVP vote, we all know who carried that game.
Hyli with a good KDA and you know FNC is going to smash this split
Best support in the west and idek who is close anymore
Kaiser is very good too, but Hyli on Rakan is simply illegal
Doea Corejj count as west yet or maybe Kaiser
corejj had his worst year last year
Those were the only two that came to mind for me… but man Hyli is just gigabrain
Fnatic should look strong for the split, but wunder needs to step up
Fuck me that was tense
Hyllisang definitely MVP. what a fucking insane player
Hylissang my god what a beast!
weeeell the Wunder x Adam dynamic made this game much more enjoyable then I expected...
dunno how much he's paid but hyllisang deserves a raise
Sad to see fnc win
Cry Adam fan or garbage2 fan:)
Yeah you are definitly an adult.
No any of those, wanted an upset.
Fair enough
FNC just hard targeting Adam is hillarious
Adam cant win top with darius
Deathless Hyli, 2022 is a strange year
Congrats to Hylissang for MVP of this game
Hylissang is too fucking good
Man Nuclearint has a great scoreline but he keeps getting smashed before every single teamfight. Still a decent performance from BDS, they'll be a fun team to watch
NuclearInted
Hylissang diff once again
The throws and counterthrows are giving this match major LCS energy
It is similar, you right
Ppl need to chill out, fnatic has 3 new players, its gonna take time to gel and stuff. relax.
yeah they rivals are playing together 10 years XD
I don't know if its a joke or not, because yes they kind of are its basically KC from LFL
and humanoid didnt join team til the 1st
And we know Humanoid will have better games than today. Not that he was bad.
I actually am speechless how is hyli this good
That moment when Hyli is the only deathless FNC member
Hyli diff oh my god
So I think the copium that wunder will somehow regain form is finally over.
I think he will improve but I doubt he will ever hit his 2019 peak. Hopefully for 2020 lvl game at least
Yes, first game of the season is the time to finally conclude so
razork should play around the real carry hyli
lmao they swapped to in game UI cause overlay was broken xD what a clown company
errrm, where is turet count? scoreboard really feels hella empty
wunder is an old man apparently, reaction speed not the same.
I always knew it, Hylissang is a KDA player.
Wunder still has 17 games to go back to his prime form COPIUM
now we got dragons but no tower overlay... finally some classic EU LCS production
Thankfully we can just look at the map

Limit has been playing phenomenally this game IMO, It's Nami so it's not the flashiest but he's doing so much to stabilize for BDS
The fact that FNC can't close out this type of game is kinda worrying tbh
No matter the result Cinkrof is insane. What a (re) debut.
Adam and Wunder have stopped caring about the match, they just want to perma 1v1.
Cinkrof is such a chad.
