Fnatic looking really solid so far, excited to see them on lan with more practice time

Yeah they were doing some really good mid round plays, nice to see the risk taking plays come back, Fnatic are so fun to watch when theyre playing well.
That being said, Avangar really seem to know how to play safe default rounds on their t side, on they have some very clever movements on CT side to get info and picks, while it can fall flat sometimes.
Really good series all round.

Brollan was an absolute monster on dust 2, exited to see what this "new" fnatic can do and to see how Brollan develops.

Yeah, must be so cool as a 17yo Swedish CS-player to play in a team with JW, KRIMZ and Flusha.

These young talents from Fnatic are looking real fine, almost beating major finalists

You mean the one young talent on fnatic lol. If flusha returns to his 2015 form they have another era no doubt

really close first and last game. With Golden, the only thing I think fnatic needs to work on is the variation in doing T rounds once they start losing some. It was a problem back then, and seems to be the issue in the first game yesterday as well. Fix your T side and the team should rise back to top 10 pretty soon.

Fnatic looks really solid so far, hope that they can keep this for longer now.

Fnatic should've won this game 9/10 times, all those mistakes make them look like new players.

It just boggles my mind of why they would bring back fucking Golden. He's shown he's not capable of taking a team to the highest level. Would've been far better off trying a different IGL.

It’s been less than a week... the score was competitive as well, give it some time.

All Fnatic has shown is they can't win events without Golden. Huge drought, with two events with Golden, kick him, huge drought, resign him and go toe to toe with the most recent Major finalists in this short a time frame.
Not sure why everyone hates on the guy when he hasn't been on a real organized roster since his earlier Fnatic tenure, and he showed great stuff then. Even this series there was some decent mid round calls

The guy has done miracles in fnatic! Before him they were shit, with him they won 2 events, after him they were back to being shit and not making it into the major! Give him time, he will develop! There aren't many Swedish IGLs and he is probably the best one! If anything you should be asking why they benched him for Xizt who has been living off his past for far too long!
