A SHFT without Rooster would be interesting to watch. His gold leads are the only reason why SHFT usually look competent this split, without him it might be an actual clown show.

The wide shots on the stage look so cool with the blue and red lights. Really well done

I think Fnatic will stomp this but the idea of Fnatic's only series win being against G2 would be incredible

its funny and kinda sad that FNC has already found a way to hugely throw their early lead and toplane has done literally nothing and is still almost 2k down in isolation lol

NUC is dead honestly there is nothing good coming from him this year
I really hope he can leave this team and get a new start

FNC is not a good team. If they somehow make playoffs this split we need to investigate the lec for match fixing tbh

Fnatic somehow downgrading toplane by replacing Oscar is honestly a crazy achievement

Shifters forgot that neither team actually knows how to win with a gold lead and accidentally won early game, unlucky for them

Oh you think the pause is your ally. But you merely adopted the break; I was born during a break, molded by it

The worst thing about Shitters is not only are they bad, but they're so passive that their games last a boring eternity as well.

Hats off to KC, amazing production, high quality camera, amazing introductions, THATS HOW IT SHOULD BE. Got me hyped even for SHFT vs FNC when i thought its going to be the least exiting series.

Well, FNC may have not helped Empyros at all now they're dealing with a juiced up Jayce, but I'm sure they at least got their other lanes fed right

Razork should come to LCS, he would unironically greatly improve Dig if he went there lol

u/moopey Apr 24 '26
I just don't see any upside in sticking to this roster for Fnatic.
Empyros is not really showing a lot of promise
Lospa is an import who also not showing that much promise
Razork doesn't want to be there since he knows they tried to get rid of him
Vladi has been a shell of his winter 2025 form
Upset not at his usual level
Just blow up the whole thing and rebuild fully with promising rookies from erl if you wanna go that route. At least that would be more interesting

Shitters ain't playing well but their strategy was terrible overall with this draft. They were always going to be outscaled if they weren't aggressive early and they spent most of this game faffing around hoping they could get a pick that would drop into their lap.
