Fnatic crashes out of the LEC Winter Split, a first in the org’s history

Not the LEC return Rekkles would’ve expected.

Unfortunately, two teams have already left the Winter Split with that being Fnatic and Excel Esports.

Both teams invested heavily during the off-season withExcel bringing in two LEC veteransto shore up its ranks.

Unfortunately, it didn’t end well for XL who ended the split at 1-8.

The return of Martin “Rekkles” Larsson was seen as a move that could bringFnaticback to the top.

They managed only two wins in their first six games, which were against XL andKOI.

Sadly, it was not their week as they bowed out in spectacular fashion against both teams.

This also gave Astralis the chance to take that eighth and final spot into the group stage.

Synergy and miss-communication seemed to be Fnatic’s downfall this season.

Rekkles issued a video apology fresh right after the loss against SK.
