We finally got fnatic back on a Major, only for them to completely flop in the Opening Stage.

In a catastrophic run, Fnatic lost to Wildcard and Cloud9 and, most shockingly, was eliminated from the Major by hometown heroes Rare Atom.

We could honestly write a whole thesis on why Fnatic’s performance was so dismal, but let’s break it down into two words: nawwk and body.

The Swedish AWPer was brought in from BLEED with the expectation that he would bring a more aggressive playstyle than afro, but he ended the Stage with a disappointing 0.86 rating. That’s unacceptable for any player, let alone when you have the most impactful role in the game.

As for bodyy, we could compare him to HooXi, but that wouldn’t be fair. Sure, HooXi might bottom-frag every match, but at least he knows how to call.

The truth is fnatic have been enjoying some relative success in tier 2, carried by blameF, but that doesn’t necessarily make them a competitive team - at least not by Major standards - and the Opening Stage exposed their glaring weaknesses. fnatic have big names that should carry some weight, but experience clearly isn’t enough when you look this disoriented.

The future is uncertain for fnatic, as KRIMZ himself admits, but one thing is clear: this team has a lot of work to do and changes to make if they want to be relevant in 2025.

What's that? Imperial? Oh right, we almost forgot them. We were too busy laughing at fnatic to remember the other 0-3 team.

Let’s be real - Imperial doesn’t deserve too much attention. It’s clear that decenty was the only one making an effort to push the team forward, but unfortunately, that’s just not enough at this level.

Whatever, the Silver Coin looks better than the Diamond one anyway…
