Hey
Cant believe I have played over a year in Fnatic.. 2 years ago most of you guys didnt even know who I was and I didn't think back then that I would ever play for a team like Fnatic.
I joined the team in December 2010 together with Delpan and pita and as you all can remember we couldn't have asked for a better start of the new year. IEM5 European Kiev is a tournament that I will never forget. It was my first tournament under the proud Black and Orange colors. No one thought we could go and win it, everyone was counting us out, which I think was our biggest strength. Everyone in the team played superb during the whole tournament, everyone had a big match sometime during the tournament.
Unfortunately we couldn't keep it up and we had some months when we didn't perform good at all. We lost in the quarterfinals vs Fx at IEM5 World Finals and later we lost vs mTw at Xperia Play in the quarterfinals once again.
We went to Stockholm to play the Swedish WCG qualifier and it went ok, we managed to beat Lions 2-0. After the qualifier, Delpan got an offer from SK and accepted, you all know the story behind this so no need to bring it up again.
Dreamhack Summer was coming up and I guess we paniced a little bit. We decided to let pita go and bring in 2 new players instead of only replacing Delpan. We brought in Gux and manne to the team and went to Dreamhack...
Dreamhack Summer was a disaster for us. I have never played that bad indvidually and I don't think Fnatic as a team ever have played that bad in history.
After Dreamhack we decided to let manne go because it just didn't work out. Dreamhack made us realise that kicking pita was a big mistake and we decided to ask him to come back and play for us again.
We went on to play a few events with that lineup and we still couldn't perform as good as we wanted to.
After e-Stars, Harley decided to retire and we had to find a replacement in his place. We had talked about Friis before when we changed lineup, and now that we really needed a sniper he was our number one guy for the job.
After Friis joined.. We have attended 4 events. We have won 2 of them and 1 second place. We have only lost 1 BO3 match on LAN.
All in all, I am happy how 2011 turned out. Fnatic changed my life, they gave me the chance to travel the world to do what I truly love and I am happy they gave me the chance.
I'm glad that we managed to end the year the same way we started it and restore some honor to Fnatic. I'm really looking forward to 2012 to see what we can bring to the table
Merry christmas n Happy new year everyone!
Cu in Kiev! ~~
