LOL: How Fnatic 3 Iron Moves moved out of the crisis

The team FNATIC was one of the top teams in the European Leashue of Legends. But in 2021 it was not at all. The star player Rekkles was gone, contracts of 3 regular players ran out, the results were bad. But with 3 pretty daring changes to the squad, the team succeeded.

That was the crisis of Fnatic: Spring 2021 ran Mies for Fnatic. In the Playoffs in Spring Split 2021 the LEC, the first time has been missing the semi-final for the first time for four years, right away Schalke 04 and was only 5. in the LEC. The problems were manifold:

• FNATIC had lost the star player Rekkles - the plays for G2 Esports
• In the team, there were trouble between top Laner Bwipo and Jungler Selfmade, the actual star of the team - they had to be public in November 2020, as Bwipo criticized his jungler in an interview
• The Treaties of Bwipo, Selfmade and Supporter Hyssilang ran out at the end of 2021 - Bwipo and selfmade had made it clear: they would not extend

Fnatic acted in front of the summer of 2021 like a spout model, while young teams like Rogue or Mad Lions just came up and looked like the future of the LEC.

Move 1: FNATIC brings young star without having a place for him in the team

A waily Move was a 19-year-old Frenchman who is a great talent to get into a team. The problem was: Adam plays on the top Lane, there Fnatic with Bwipo already had a constant, actually the leader of the team. He is also closely friends with Hyssilang, which you really want to hold.

If you leave Bwipo, you blow the core of FNATIC.

But Fnatic Adam wanted to get now, even before Bwipo's contract was dealing with less competition to have the European top talent.

Move 2: FNATIC pushes his top laner in the Jungle

The strangest Move was ultimately to postpone top Laner Bwipo in the jungle. A "Role Swap" with a 22-year-old veteran looks insane on the first wrong look. But how to communicate the coaches of FNATIC into conversation with dotesports (via dotesports), that was a conscious decision that had been played before.

The coaches of FNATIC believed: Bwipo was better off in the Jungle anyway than on the top lane.

Because Bwipo communicate awarded and have a super feeling of initiating teamfights and opening opportunities. Skills that come better in the jungle to shine than in the top lane.

In addition, Bwipo is great with Hyssilang, so you wanted to keep it, the synergy was strengthened.

Move 3: FNATIC gives his best player

The Jungler Selfmade was formal as a strongest player at FNATIC. But it was explained to that. He now plays for Team Vitality, because he just wanted to stay as a "starter" at Fnatic.

But this role went to Bwipo.

FNATIC stands on 2nd place of the LEC

So it ran now for Fnatic? Actually, it looked clearly afterwards as if the summer 2021 run pretty bad for Fnatic. They had a rookie on the top lane and a jungler who had to learn the job first. But above all, they had just sold one of the best young people in Europe.

But now the team with 10-5 is excellent. Although you lost the last two games, FNATIC resides in 2nd place 2 of the LEC:

• Adam is currently valid after half a year in the LEC as one of the top talents of Europe on the top Lane.
• Bwipo is praised for his game in the Jungle - the role change seems to run even better than even Fnatic thought
• Only for selfmade the future does not look so great. His new team Vitality stands with 5-10 on the penultimate place of the LEC: even more evil is only Schalke
