Fnatic Dominates Opening Match of League of Legends Worlds 2022
Fnatic and Cloud9 went head-to-head in the opening match of the League of Legends World Championship group stage, reigniting the long-standing rivalry between Europe and North America. The two teams have faced each other 12 times, with Fnatic holding the advantage. However, Fnatic’s journey to the Group Stage was not without difficulties.
The First Blood of the Group Stage went to Zven, who took down Hylissang in an unsuccessful engagement. Although Fnatic made proactive plays, they were unable to secure kills on low-health opponents. But this was all part of Fnatic’s grand strategy for victory.
Fnatic’s draft revealed their long-term approach, opting for scaling champions like Ornn and Aphelios. They established control of the map through vision and focused on dragons to enhance their late-game power.
While C9 searched for skirmishes and objectives to open up the map, Fnatic kept up with CS advantage and matched C9’s gold income.
The turning point came with a teamfight initiated by Fnatic before the 20-minute mark. With coordinated ultimate abilities, Fnatic decimated C9 and showcased their superior teamfighting skills.
Fnatic secured the first Baron of the game, broke through C9’s defenses, claimed the first inhibitor, and defeated C9 in subsequent teamfights.
With the Drake’s soul and Baron buff, Fnatic closed out the game, leaving fans anticipating more intense matches to come. C9 will have a chance at redemption against Edward Gaming, while Fnatic prepares to face off against T1, one of the legendary teams in the League scene.
