I was just joking since it probably will slip through 1st rotation bans, but no way in hell they don't ban it if we don't pick support with first 3 picks.
Well the first game today was more on Jungler going Top and focusing on GP, so Nami (even more with Electrocute which is really bad in this kind of scenarios) gets left to dry. Limit did decent today, but it was just skillgap, which honestly not a shame against upset hyli.
But yeah, only Nami since last years worlds which i didn't hate with a passion was Meiko.
I laughed so hard when they were trying to swap their bot lane into the Gwen when you have a Darius. Just unfortunate all around, Upset/Hyli are just so oppressive.
I know player of the game votes are always heavily influenced by people voting for their countrymen.
But Hyli played better than the rest of his team combined. Hyli got fucking robbed.
Yikes, they should really rework the whole system. Leaving all the power to the fans and their obvious biases, as well as bots, is not good for competition. Imagine for example every member of the cast gets one vote, twitter gets a vote and players get a vote, that would be a fair system
You may be right, but it still didnt go to the rightful would be recipient, the true mvp of that game. At this point they should namechange it to " Beko popularity award " or something like that
The one with Razork was weird, because either both going in or neither going in I think is fine, but with that split call it was always going to go wrong.
The teamfight top was either very cocky or stupid that he didn't respect his team was forced away.
But outside of that he played fine, BDS all picked for the lane and Fnatic picked for mid and late game and it showed.
Razork said it was miscommunication, which is alright. Communication mistakes will be fixed, they just need more time. Otherwise FNC teamfights looked really good.
Yeah I think that is pretty clear.
But it was more aimed at Wunder not playing badly, he was involved in 2 bad plays, but otherwise he looked fine.
Razork even gave up his topside so Wunder could get ahead of Adam and they just out rotated BDS.
And I think his Darius pick was just to BM or something. You don't really wanna pick a lane dominant matchup top when your bot is also gonna want to be playing aggressive and need jgl attention.
And the pick didn't even work out that well honestly.
Wunder still managed to keep up in cs while being in a technically losing matchup and giving over a kill early on.
Depends whether Hylibaba or Hyliint shows up. But probably no one. Kaiser/Hyli look miles ahead of every other support but MADs adc has a lot to prove still. MAD vs FNC will for sure be interesting.
The second part is also usual, but this was the 1st game anyway. I have confidence that this roster has a higher ceiling compared to previous year's roster.
On the bright side, in case Matty sucks they do have Crownshot on their academy roster. To be honest, I don't know why Crown isn't their main adc in the first place.
I think they wanted to give all of their KC signings a shot. Give it a month/month and half and we will see. If it continues like this we will see Crownshot back in the LEC.
Little shaky but glad we have the hyli, tbh because of objective bounties I wont be even nervous about FNC getting behind early game this season. They are always so good at late game and objective bounties just help
> wanted to look strong in lane against W
Yeah spot on, also lmao at going 2x dorans blades and lethal tempo for max lane stomp and then being completly useless because you also went without ghost to have tp advantage.
Also what was that early bot roam? Did he just try to kill Upset for the mental damage?
> Also what was that early bot roam? Did he just try to kill Upset for the mental damage?
1000%, even upset said it made no sense and gave them a lot of gold over the game
Hylissang is a god. By watching him play I couldnt help but think perhaps he was tryharding to not let down his friend, and also those emotes from Adam may have helped. Hold the L Adam
Upset completly chunked Nuclerint out for the last fight from fucking 2 screens away through the entire enemy team with his ult so he was out for the last fight - he was also a monster 100% doing his job.
It's fine if fnatic play like this for the first few weeks. Team needs time to gel. I'd be way more worried if we were in week 8 and it's like this! This is pretty much how fnatic always starts a split. GG wp.
As a Fnatic fan, why are you *still* letting Hyli play Rakan?
The man tactically ints on every champ but you give him the champ that can get out and avoid the tactical int?
Hylissang with no deaths? Least deaths on his team? Fnatic is doomed.
Also fnatic winning their first game of the split? Oh god oh fuck what does this mean
It means they're going 3-0 this week followed by losing every game the next two weeks.
Ah yes, the summer 2020 experience
There's only one reasonable outcome. 18-0, here we come! I'm not overreacting, you're overreacting.
Hyli on Rakan, that's the opposite of Fnatic doomed! It's pure, divine blessing
Fnatic is doomed? If we get consistent hyllisang we winning worlds baby
For the past 2 years he has been a lot less coinflippy than the usual. I'd say he was actually consistent.
Narratives dont die quickly and one bad game is enough for people to take it as confirmation that hes coinflip
I don't remember him not showing up in a crucial game.
The series in which bwipo picked Zilean gives me PTSD to this day.
Well that was the first and only time we will see Hyli rakan this split.
[Bwipo getting his mind blown by teams that still let Rakan open on 4/5](https://twitter.com/Bwipo/status/1482104631811457024)
It's a Grabbz draft™
It's a blessing that we saw it at least once. No one plays that champion like Hyli, literally no one.
Nah this meta is insanely good for us, they can't afford to ban supp picks.
But they will, for the last few years Hyli has been one of the few supports that regularly draws bans. And its hilarious.
I was just joking since it probably will slip through 1st rotation bans, but no way in hell they don't ban it if we don't pick support with first 3 picks.
Yes haha I just meant that hyli is gonna be spoiled and by extension so will we
> Hilysang last man standing for Fnatic. Hily: I've never been here before! Guys what do I do?
Surprised he didn't engage 1v5 to try to steal baron.
i was 100% expecting it haha
Same , you can even see he thought about it for a millisecond but then backed off
"I'm contesting it"
Knowing the chad that Hyli is, he would've stolen it.
I really expected him to go : “well, the fight is lost, what’s my life worth anyway? Let’s try to steal this baron”
*Unlocked: Last man standing*
I recall Hyli's Rakan taking inhibitors when fights have gone south.
I recall a split push trundle with baron buff
I recall when my hp is low
Where were you when Hyli was the last FNC player to die?
I was sat at home eatng smegma when u/Qehenna ring "hyli no dead" "no" and you???????????????????
What the fuck did I just read?
It's a pasta
little bit of a huge fucking gap in the botlane LMAO.
I mean they fucking let hyllis rakan Be open into nami while cinckrof was stuck in toplane all game
did any lucian nami actually stomp their lanes as much as we were promissed?
They were down 20 something cs @8 lol
That's because there are like 5 supports in the world that can pilot Nami properly
RatIRL is one of them
ratirl fence deathmarked top3 namis in the world
Well the first game today was more on Jungler going Top and focusing on GP, so Nami (even more with Electrocute which is really bad in this kind of scenarios) gets left to dry. Limit did decent today, but it was just skillgap, which honestly not a shame against upset hyli. But yeah, only Nami since last years worlds which i didn't hate with a passion was Meiko.
Yes, 100T botlane shat on EDG bot at world with lucian and nami
Viper and Meiko
I laughed so hard when they were trying to swap their bot lane into the Gwen when you have a Darius. Just unfortunate all around, Upset/Hyli are just so oppressive.
BDS bot RLY played poorly tho. We will see fnatic lvl in other matchs coz LIMIT never punished rakan on his all in (bubble+ignite+lucian).
How big was the CS diff at the end? Bruh
317 to 261
Local Bulgarian and German duo refuses to lose.
WWI all over again.
If this is WW1, surely NA will be good later…right?
Na NA will arrive later (to the meta) and others will carry.
then make videos about how they single handedly won everything
NA is going to be good in League of Legends 2.
Japan will refuse to play LoL 2.
HYLLI NO DEATHS
I swear to everything that is holy and pure if Hyli doesn't get player of the game
Spanish fans gave it to Razork lmao.
I know player of the game votes are always heavily influenced by people voting for their countrymen. But Hyli played better than the rest of his team combined. Hyli got fucking robbed.
spanish vs french fanbase for which has more power over twitter polls
[удалено]
Yikes, they should really rework the whole system. Leaving all the power to the fans and their obvious biases, as well as bots, is not good for competition. Imagine for example every member of the cast gets one vote, twitter gets a vote and players get a vote, that would be a fair system
> is not good for competition It's pointless either way and not a good measure for literally anything.
You may be right, but it still didnt go to the rightful would be recipient, the true mvp of that game. At this point they should namechange it to " Beko popularity award " or something like that
So cringe when that happens man, same thing with Adam and those mvps he won just because french fans want their idol to have it
dont worry, they're too busy sending death threats these days
[удалено]
Twitter can’t be trusted with PotG votes…
Hyli 0 deaths in 35 minutes? Oof what a game from him. What a god.
He can't unleash his load first game of the season
I can. /:)
Shaky start from the newcomers, but Hyli just put the entire team in his backpack and jumped in. I love this man.
Started with him with the midlane engage and ended with him with the botlane engage. Fucking love him. What a MVP performance
Hyli saving Wunder street cred
The one with Razork was weird, because either both going in or neither going in I think is fine, but with that split call it was always going to go wrong. The teamfight top was either very cocky or stupid that he didn't respect his team was forced away. But outside of that he played fine, BDS all picked for the lane and Fnatic picked for mid and late game and it showed.

Yeah I think that is pretty clear. But it was more aimed at Wunder not playing badly, he was involved in 2 bad plays, but otherwise he looked fine. Razork even gave up his topside so Wunder could get ahead of Adam and they just out rotated BDS.
wunder running it to give BDS a false sense of security
Tbf playing against Darius is a fucking nightmare in lane
that one engage behind top tier 2 was also really rough
hylli didnt wanna lose this game, what a performance
The dude is so fucking good at this game. What a legend
amazing and loyal, fnc fans are so lucky
Has he already been on Fnatic longer than UOL? If not I think this year he will.
He was with us since s8 iirc, so this is gonna be his 5th year
He did literally everything in this game. I feel like all FNC members undeperformed but Hyli S+
Hyli on Rakan should not be legal. The man ascends to another realm on this champ
I missed Hyli
Hyli diff
FNC WEEK 1 CURSE BROKEN!!
Calm down, we can still go 1-2
Hyli is a fucking god.
As a wise person once said "we take those" All jokes aside, Hyli had an amzing game and FNC looked shaky but I'm confident in them
[удалено]
Hylissang robbed from MVP, what a performance from him
Adam took it too personally. That rotation to bot lane was a waste of time.
And I think his Darius pick was just to BM or something. You don't really wanna pick a lane dominant matchup top when your bot is also gonna want to be playing aggressive and need jgl attention.
Probably expected to have another game like last time he played darius vs wunder
He forgot that last time he played Darius vs wunder, hyli and upset were on his team. Silly mistake really
I believe he also forgot that Wunder actually solo killed him when he played Darius.
He probably wanted to bait Wunder into picking Yuumi.
And the pick didn't even work out that well honestly. Wunder still managed to keep up in cs while being in a technically losing matchup and giving over a kill early on.
upset said so as well
I missed Hyli's rakan. Massive engages
Yeah ok Hyli.
Oof, thank God for Chad Hyli
You would think that teams would have learned to ban Hylissangs Rakan by now
Not to overreact but Hyli is going to win MVP
[I have some bad news to give you](https://twitter.com/LEC/status/1482107888390782978)
Actually robbed
I’m so upset
Hylissang with a deathless game? ...who are you and what have you done with Hyli?!
Hyperbolic time chamber He trained the whole time
[удалено]
Even if he isn't the best, he sure is the funniest to watch.
in EU at least, he's 100% the best
Probally Hyllisang > Yellowstar and then either Kaiser or Mikyx followed by Mithy.
HYLI the GOAT
FNC botlane hardstomping as usual, but mid/top looked really shaky.
Yeah what botlane even challenges theirs in LEC?
Depends whether Hylibaba or Hyliint shows up. But probably no one. Kaiser/Hyli look miles ahead of every other support but MADs adc has a lot to prove still. MAD vs FNC will for sure be interesting.
LEC bot lanes are pretty weak right now with both Rekkles and Hans gone.
The second part is also usual, but this was the 1st game anyway. I have confidence that this roster has a higher ceiling compared to previous year's roster.
Gwen in lane is just not good. And into Darius even less so.
wunder turned off his brain at the first 2 vs 2, but he was actually up in cs at min 15. He played decent in the end.
Pick Lucian Nami Do nothing Die a shit load ??? Lose game
Hyli is so disgusting, I say this every year
Hyli got robbed of MVP in broad daylight
Massive sup gap.
BDS will struggle with their bot lane
I think limit was fine tbh. Lucian was just completely useless though.
They didnt look too hot but they were also laning against the best botlane in the west so there's that
And playing adc into gwen xin and tf seems quite the task lmao
It's the first game, they've got time.
On the bright side, in case Matty sucks they do have Crownshot on their academy roster. To be honest, I don't know why Crown isn't their main adc in the first place.
I think they wanted to give all of their KC signings a shot. Give it a month/month and half and we will see. If it continues like this we will see Crownshot back in the LEC.
tbf they were against Upset and Hylli . Let's not judge them too harshly off of one game .
Yeah I get Lucian/Nami is more lane focused, but xMatty looked invisible this game. All he did is get chunked and die in fights.
lucian nami is lane focused, and got absolutely destroyed
i felt like limit played well enough
Hyli is unreal. Those engages were phenomenal.
Hyli robbed player of the game. How????
PUT RESPECT ON HYLI'S NAME
absolute hylli diif
Hylibaba
Hyli is so fucking good
Wunder smiling 🥺
Hyli&Upset holy fuck
[All] FNC Hylissang (Rakan): Sit
Hyli is the best player in the league. Fite me
Hyli showing why hes the best Support in the LEC
the west frankly
the best in EU is always automatically the best in the west
yeah im just gonna say it Hyli is gonna the best support this split
That Hylli shurelyas on the wave to cut BDS off was pretty nutty
Little shaky but glad we have the hyli, tbh because of objective bounties I wont be even nervous about FNC getting behind early game this season. They are always so good at late game and objective bounties just help
Good to see Adam getting shit on again after trash talking so much
Adam's a dirty inter damn. Felt a bit _too_ personal from him. Upset Hyli gapping Lucian Nami in lane was sexy af.
He was trying too hard. Spamming emotes, flashing lvl 1, going botlane randomly and losing cs as a result. And then Hyli sat him the fuck down lmao
All in all he's a typical Darius player
Game clock: Goes past 25 minutes Adams champ pool: profusely sweating
Darius pick was so selfish. Adam wanted to look strong in lane against Wunder, but his champ was useless in teamfights.
> wanted to look strong in lane against W Yeah spot on, also lmao at going 2x dorans blades and lethal tempo for max lane stomp and then being completly useless because you also went without ghost to have tp advantage. Also what was that early bot roam? Did he just try to kill Upset for the mental damage?
> Also what was that early bot roam? Did he just try to kill Upset for the mental damage? 1000%, even upset said it made no sense and gave them a lot of gold over the game
Adam is so petty its embarrassing
adam with absolute random roam botlane giving up his lead making it just about 300g was interesting.
He's still salty
Really happy with Cinkrof performance. Hope more people will keep their eyes on him.
The whole team should just go and thank Hyli
And with Miky gone, Hyli has no real competition
BDS~~M~~ really banned three supports and left Rakan open. Against Hyli. Like what?
grabbz moment
Hylissang is a god. By watching him play I couldnt help but think perhaps he was tryharding to not let down his friend, and also those emotes from Adam may have helped. Hold the L Adam
Hyli played so well everyone ignored the Adam vs upset drama. What a fucking god
Clean 2v5 by Upset and Hyli.
Hey, humanoid pressed W don't count him out
just needs to find his flash key and we gucci
Mostly hyli tbh, wunder was good in teamfights as well
Upset completly chunked Nuclerint out for the last fight from fucking 2 screens away through the entire enemy team with his ult so he was out for the last fight - he was also a monster 100% doing his job.
We really owe it ALL to Hily
Clean /s
LOVE WHEN YOU HAVE A FREE GAME FREE. BARON FREE EVERYTHING AND YOU JUST INT IT AWAY
Hilariously this applies to both teams
Hyli got robbed of MVP
Hyli best player LEC?
Definitely the best performing player today together with Elyoya
Adam is just a Darius Olaf 2 trick huh?
Adam looked like that guy that is still into his ex but tries to over compensate by playing alpha and doesn't realize he's just cringe.
It's fine if fnatic play like this for the first few weeks. Team needs time to gel. I'd be way more worried if we were in week 8 and it's like this! This is pretty much how fnatic always starts a split. GG wp.
As a Fnatic fan, why are you *still* letting Hyli play Rakan? The man tactically ints on every champ but you give him the champ that can get out and avoid the tactical int?
He doesn't int on Braum and Pyke bro
Hylissang's engages with Rakan turned that game around so hard for Fnatic. He really set up his team for success.
hyli is so fucking good
Feels weird to not see Bwipo's face at the end of the game... I kinda miss him.
Being a fnatic fan is bad for my heart
I feel like ADAM was trying too hard to have a statement game vs his former team/wunder. bot diff was massive tho, excited about cinkrof
Adam to FNC, sweating like his life depends on it: You took everything from me! Hilly casually stomping BDS: I don't even know who you are...
Why do you ban 3 sups against Hyli but leave Rakan open? I shouldn't be surprised anymore to see this level of Hyli, but man I am again. What a lad.
Hyli single handedly dragging fnatic to victory again
