This is the Matchup Fnatic Wanted
Fnatic had their sights set on playing against Splyce in the first round of the LEC playoffs. However, since that option wasn’t available, they chose to face Vitality instead.
Two Teams Heading in Different Directions
Vitality, after a strong start, has cooled off significantly in recent weeks. It seems that if they can’t win through split pushing or backdooring, their gameplay falls apart. On the other hand, Fnatic is on fire. They started the split with a 3-7 record but made a huge comeback in week six, defeating Vitality.
All They Do Is Split
Vitality coach Jakob “YamatoCannon” Mebdi is known for coaching split push teams. While other teams talk about split pushing but often prioritize team fights, Vitality is comfortable trading objectives for turrets and inhibitors. This exciting playstyle does have its downsides though. Their control over Baron and dragon objectives this season has been lacking compared to previous seasons.
Can Attila Possibly Beat Rekkles?
The LEC playoffs this year have become even more interesting with teams picking their own opponents. Fnatic believes that Rekkles can easily defeat Attila, especially in a meta that prioritizes marksmen. This is a major challenge to the Vitality bot laner and the entire team. Fnatic is confident that a fed Rekkles will carry them to victory.
