fnatic is a historical giant of League of Legends European which however experienced a difficult Summer Split. The team struggled to finish the LEC 2022 Summer Split in the top half of the standings and had to wait until the last week to validate the playoff ticket, and still have a chance to participate in the World Championships. After a lackluster summer season, it’s in a game against Team Vitality that they almost lost several times, that their fate was almost sealed. However, when all seemed lost, a sensational Upset emerged that silenced in no time all the criticism he received for years for breaking a historic competition record.
An absolute record for competitive League of Legends?
Fnatic couldn’t impose their rhythm in the match against Team Vitality, leaving their opponents to take the first initiatives. This situation was possible in particular because of the difficulties encountered by Humanoid (Sylas). The mid laner was unable to perform at the level expected of him throughout the year and was particularly unlucky in one of the most decisive matchups. However, the smaller the mid lane player, the bigger their bot lane partner grows. Upset (Zeri) took the match on his own. Accompanied at all times by Hylissang (Lulu), the shooter managed to finish with 14 kills and only one death on his dashboard.
By now, League of Legends players already know that scoring isn’t everything. However, there is more data to support Upset’s performance. The most spectacular is the damage inflicted on champions. Throughout the duration of the game, the shooter has subtracts over 92,400 health from enemies , or 51.2% of his team’s total. This data, taking into account that the clash lasted 51 minutes, puts it at an average of 1,804 damage per minute. The number is enough to surpass Pepiinero’s historic record in the LEC (then still EU LCS) and also the highest records that have ever been recorded in the competitive field.
Damage per minute stats aren’t the best stocked in competitive League of Legends history and are very difficult to track. However, it is proven that the figures reached by Upset represent a European record. They also serve to overcome some of the most impressive individual performances in history, such as Sneaky (Cloud 9) against Team WE, who managed 1,781 damage per minute during Worlds 2017. In any case, the evidence is that the Fnatic player realized a performance worthy of making League of Legends history .
A meta to break all records?
All champions in League of Legends have a slightly higher health stack since the release of patch 12.10, which makes it a little easier to generally increase the damage numbers slightly higher. However, the difference does little to explain Upset’s success. Even less considering that the highest values tend to be achieved with poke-focused champions and while Zeri’s W (Ultralaser Bolt) does a lot of damage, she wouldn’t entirely fit into that category of champions. In fact, looking at SoloQ’s situation at Diamond Ranks 2 or higher, Zeri is only the 56th character in the hero ranking with the most damage .
In any case, and that is an understatement given the circumstances, Upset’s performance was commendable beyond its numbers . The Fnatic player not only played at a spectacular level, but his level of achievement was that much higher as his team struggled. Unsurprisingly, nine of his latest kills came after the 38th minute. On several occasions, these were fights in which his partner Humanoid, who should have helped deal some of the damage, was the first to come across all ten members of both teams. . A spectacular level of the shooter, which will make the community think twice before accusing him of having failed in the most important moments and gave Fnatic one last chance in the fight to reach Worlds 2022.
