As it stands, despite Spirit's loud voice during team fights or when an opponent is overextended and ripe for the taking, Fnatic lacks such focus in the early stages of the game, conceding the first outer turret to an opponent 61% of the time, and scoring First Blood at a 28% rate (dead last in the LCS on that regard). Their reliance on an opponent's tendency to commit mistakes leaves them with few windows of opportunity against the H2ks and G2s the league offers.

In addition, the nature of Fnatic's picks is known before the start of the game; due to the inherent strengths and weaknesses of buy csgo keys each member, the team resorts to hard-engage team compositions with top lane bruisers and tanks almost systematically (17/18 games) - leaving them vulnerable to split-pushing strategies of the likes of Vitality's Cabochard.

But in light of the recent patch, such predictability may become their strength.

The current trends in the LCK indicate that top lane bruisers and hard-engage compositions are back in fashion. With the resurgence of Gamsu's bruisers back into the meta (most particularly Maokai, picked in 20 games out of 29 for a 55 percent win rate) and the renewed importance of one of Spirit's go-to picks early in the season, Kindred, in an engage-centric meta-game (61% win rate in the LCK during Patch 6.5).
