Very exciting to see them drafting their own version of the meta and playing so well. | ||

Seems like they are winning a lot of games lately with him in the lineup. Excalibur success is because the entire fnatic team is creating space really well for excalibur to farm and carry the game. And there draft has been insane lately. It's not because of excalibur only and he is not the main reason they are doing well,. | ||

Seems like they are winning a lot of games lately with him in the lineup. I wouldn't really call Fnatic a mid-tier team. They sure lacked (may still lack) consistency but they were always able to take games off of the top teams that were seemingly unbeatable. They couldn't take the series if their life depended on it, but they could always go toe to toe with the best. They're like Stork of DotA, just need to wait for their time to come so they can finally stop coming in second. | ||

They're bootcamping, though, and I think we're seeing the benefits of Xcalibur getting more experience playing against pros and them all getting more practice playing with him on the team. | ||

It's not because of excalibur only and he is not the main reason they are doing well,. you have to agree that he opens up more options for them Draft wise.... other teams used to band Wisp against Fnatic , now they worry about Wisp/Tinker/Meepo as first ban material which is what makes a team strong (must ban non meta heroes). | ||
