Their means to adapt to the enemy additionally exhibits; a high quality that wasn’t as polished till the latter half of 2023. We noticed this final week when RGE Markoon hoped to emulate Canyon’s Nidalee. As a response, Fnatic’s Jungler Yoon “Jun” Se-jun rapidly buried his early-game potential by serving to their botlaner safe picks.
Jun’s pivot within the laning section turned the tide and stole away Rogue’s early-game management. And it paid off when Fnatic stood victorious, little doubt a lesson he realized spending months in scrims.
Regardless of their self-discipline, Oscarinin and his staff can nonetheless deal with a single enemy in champ choose to safe a win. Simply final weekend, we noticed the remainder of Fnatic reply with three interact champs to counter Larssen’s Azir, a alternative that gained them their newest Bo1.
Noah’s Botlane Dominance
Botlane volatility is at present the cornerstone of the worldwide meta. And Fnatic’s is wanting extra deadly than ever. That is because of Oh “Noah” Hyeon-taek, who has been the man to beat on their present roster.
Regardless of a restricted champ pool, the Korean ADC performs to them devastating impact whereas staying deathless throughout a lot of the match. He might not play essentially the most cellular champs, however with Jun shut behind, the duo has the potential to take Fnatic far within the home league.
FNC Noah Summer time Cut up KDA
- FNC vs SK: 5/1/8
- FNC vs RGE: 9/0/3
- FNC vs VIT: 3/0/9
- FNC vs GX: 9/2/5
- FNC vs KC: 5/1/4
Traditionally, eyes have at all times been on Humanoid or veteran participant Rekkles when Fnatic was concerned. However with enemy focus now break up between “Uma” and Noah, Fnatic’s going to have even higher playmaking potential general.
Fnatic’s Cross-Map Strain
Fnatic’s revitalized teamplay is bolstered by their Jungler and Toplaner working in tandem to guard Noah. This, mixed with the quantity of carry champs Humanoid and co. performs make them a formidable staff.
Fnatic’s Jungler was additionally relentless of their uphill combat towards SK Gaming. Regardless of Razork’s rating, his Xin Zhao weaved out and in of the ultimate 3v3, touchdown stuns and giving Humanoid’s Hwei sufficient time to proc his injury passive and resolve the match.
Oscar “Oscarinin” Jimenez has slowly moved away from Okay’Sante to deal with interact champs like Ornn and Zac. This new strategy makes him extra versatile on the Rift whereas making the most effective out of goal skirmishes. That mentioned, his experience on Aatrox and Olaf continues to be there. So Fnatic’s opponents will in all probability keep guessing till the staff suffers their first loss in Summer time.
Last Ideas
Fnatic’s improbable botlane duo is their best energy. However even when they falter, their midlane-jungler combo picks up the slack in additional methods than one. All in all, the Spanish staff know easy methods to zone. And in the event that they proceed to place a metal wall round their scaling ADC, it’s going to take a world-class expertise to take them down.
Whereas their macroplay is scrappy in comparison with their Spring efficiency, Fnatic is definitely holding the reins within the LEC this break up. They’ve maintained their momentum for 2 straight weeks. And even when they virtually misplaced two of their video games, there’s nonetheless time for a number of changes earlier than they begin going up towards the LEC’s poster boys.
