On Oct 13, the last day of the Group stage, Fnatic defeated G-rex convincingly. After the match, FNC’s superstar Rekkles was interviewed by LPL official host.









Q: Fnatic is regarded as the best west team in this tournaments. Did it bring more pressure to you?

I would say it brings less pressure. Because previous year, I wouldn’t have any expectations, so we were ok with losing. Meanwhile, this time, it feels like we have to win every game and I personally really enjoy that because it makes it feel more like worlds something that so special rather than just another regular season of LCS game.

Q: G2 and Fnatic both won today’s game. Do you think how far EU would go in this tournament?

I would say they’re pretty good, much better than previously. The reason why it’s because we have figured out what we good at as a region and as unique team as well. This is why we’re getting wins. Maybe don’t look normal but there’s still a win, right? So personally I feel like a lot of respects towards my fellow team from EU because they’re trying their hard to get the wins. In their group, they’re really hard. If another team other than us would make it out of the group, I will be super happy about it.

Q: What’s the reason you grow a beard?

So in Sweeden, a lot of sports scene have something called play-off beards. They see it as a lucky token and I think I could have something similar for this year’s Worlds where up until the point we lose, quarterfinals, semifinals, or finals, I will just keep the beard. And if it works for win worlds, just keep it until next worlds.
