Fnatic followed this principle on the second day of the group stage at the 2022 League of Legends World Championship, showing incredible synergy against one of the favorites to win the coveted Summoners’ Cup, T1.
Fnatic have pushed to the first place of group A with a dominant victory over Korean representative T1, marking yet another instance where an EU team gives trouble for T1 at Worlds. From start to finish, T1 were not able to match Fnatic’s early push focused composition.
Fnatic’s dynamic bot lane duo, Upset and Hyllisang, instantly locked Lucian and Nami after T1’s Aphelios pick, despite the famous duo receiving nerfs recently. After these nerfs, the Fnatic bot lane have refrained from picking these two champions as much as they used to, however this time around it was a confident immediate pick.

Fnatic decided to continue hitting the bot lane, as soon as Gumayusi missed crucial abilities, the bot lane trio immediately pushed for a dive further expanding their lead.

Upset and Hyllisang walked away from this dominant victory with a combined 8/3/25 KDA, and the confidence of winning against one of the favorites to win it all.
