The Fnatic We’ve Been Waiting For
The Fnatic team that we expected to see at the League of Legends World Championship has finally arrived. They have convincingly beaten Cloud9 and Invictus Gaming, showing off their ability to build early leads. They just need one more win to advance to the quarterfinals.
Huni’s Rollercoaster Journey
Last week, Fnatic’s rookie of the year, Seo “Huni” Seung-hoon, struggled in his debut on the Worlds stage. He seemed to be playing solo queue, focusing on individual plays instead of teamwork. This disappointing performance was unexpected from someone who aspires to be the best top laner in the world.
Huni Redeems Himself
However, Huni has bounced back. In their match against Cloud9, he faced the same champion that caused him trouble in the previous game. This time, he picked Gnar, a counter to the opponent’s pick, and played a solid game. He has proven that he can still contribute even if he’s not carrying the team.
In their match against Invictus Gaming, Huni showcased his brilliance. He made an impressive play during a crucial fight, displaying the confident individual skill that makes him an exciting player to watch. Although he made a mistake later in the game, it was a risk worth taking because his plays helped secure the victory.
Rekkles Takes the Spotlight
FNatic’s AD carry, Rekkles, also had a chance to shine. In their game against Cloud9, he achieved a great KDA, but the victory was a team effort. However, in the match against Invictus Gaming, he scored the kills that sealed the win for Fnatic.
Fnatic’s victory takes them to a 3-2 record in the group stage, putting them one step away from the quarterfinals. Their next match against Taiwan’s ahq eSports Club will determine who advances. With the way Huni and the team are playing, it will be tough for ahq to come out on top.
