These past few days have not been easy for fnatic as well as all the fans of the structure. Between PC problems, little or no scrim performed by the collective as well as Covid problems resulting in the absence of Zdravets “Hylissang” Iliev Galabov for the first day of competition, all was not well. The Bulgarian must have been replaced at the last minute by the support of the academy, Ruben “Rhuckz” Barbosawho finished in eighth place in LVP in the Summer Split.
In fact, we didn’t really know what to expect for this first day and especially during the match against Evil Geniuses, winner of the LCS Spring Split, and 3rd seed in North America. Led by a very fit botlane, Fnatic were able to win in the two matches of the day sincethey then chained against the Chiefs. The highlight of the evening for the structure will obviously remain the pentakill performed by Elias “Upset” Lipp on his Kalista.
This should allow the German player to gain confidence in his first appearance in the competitionhe who is at the heart of the attention of fans following last year’s drama. In any case, Upset did not wait to silence his detractors on Twitter a few moments after this pentakill and his second victory of the day.
Note also the good performance of Rhuckzcalled in reinforcement, who didn’t die once in two parts and end the day on top of the KDA ranking. We hope that the team will continue this momentum against Detonation FocusMe at the start of the day this Friday. That’s all we hope to see fnatic in the group stage of these Worlds 2022.
