He’s been dropping all the big news for the Warzone fans all week! They’ve returned with a fresh roster for the upcoming EWC qualifiers and set the hype high with the team announcement. It includes @Enxiun, @Patzukka, and @ZacharCBA.
Why should we care? Well, Fnatic is not testing the waters in Warzone. They’re putting all in on a team with strong potential. They tweeted that after scouting many teams from different corners of the world, the organization decided to pick the three for their “sheer dedication and long-term commitment” to Warzone. They also have the experience with the EWC format and are here to compete at the highest level.
Community reactions? Lit! Big shout outs from fellow pros with @MeebowMB calling Zachar “one of the best teammates to ever have,” and fans hyping Patzukka as TOP1 FINLAND. 100 Thieves and Cloud9 showed up with their support, cementing the fact that this is a big event within the scene!
Some might say otherwise. @AntiDardo made a sour comment about Fnatic’s “dead CS team” and “mid LoL scene,” before sarcastically congratulating the Warzone team. Oof. Most replies, meanwhile, are full of hype and congratulations, especially from casters like @DandroCasts that said it’s “a great pickup” for the EU region to be represented.
There’s an even bigger question: Will they live up to their expectations? Well, with qualifiers popping just in two weeks’ time, not long will pass before we get an answer. They’ve got the capability to shake things given what we’ve seen from their performances. If they don’t though, the community chatter around them is the other half of a victory in esports.
Make sure you remember those dates, as Fnatic’s return in Warzone will be tons of fun to watch, messy in all the right ways. This one is going to be fun, either Gulag-racing the opposition or high-difficulty execution of next-gen-level plays.
Side note: A big shoutout to @voicemod for the best reply: “Time to send some mfs to the Gulag!” Couldn’t have said it better.
That was the scoop; now we wait, watch, and see if the Fnatic gamble pays off. No pressure, yeah?
