is by far the most overrated team going into 2026 they barely even made champs it was only because talon choked against rrq and at champs they abused a new meta read to 3rd place and now everyone has seen it and knows how to play against it. what is setting them apart from the competition now? dont get me wrong i don't think they are gonna fall off completely but the expectations are way too high for what they achieved.

hyumnin looks like hes boutta become the next greatest thing i mean if he keeps his form from champs hes gonna be their winning grace
there is plenty of talent in the scene bro yes hyunmin was insane and he imo is rookie of the year but gone are the days you can solo carry a team
kaajak is the king of slow starts hes too inconsistent he was just on a better team only reason ppl bring him up
yea Kaajak was on a good team, but I don't think we can discount the fact Kaajak was the best player on FNC when they had both Alfajer and Chronicle. Like a major reason why FNC are the better team is because they had Kaajak's fragging power
fnatics success didn't really have anything to do with kaajak they filled derkes spot with a young cracked aimer and that's what they got but the genius move imo was crashies everyone was convinced he was washed blahblah but they took a risk and used him to fill that vocal midround player and basically subverted the loss of derke to the point it almost looked better which is really hard to do. you can see this when they were playing with sayonara last year in the off season and look how disjointed kaajak is from boasters pace thats the impact crashies has in the coms that you otherwise wouldnt know about. by no means am i trying to downplay kaajak i think hes really talented but slightly overrated by the success of the team.
they also have flashback and the consistently insane mako who is still one of the best controllers itw....
Ok but I will admit they figured out the meta but that isn't the only change they made.
-Estrella +Beyn
We need to recognise that Beyn is the difference maker, he's what takes a team from barely qualifying to champs to reaching 3rd in Champs. By no means do I intend to disrespect someone as talented as Estrella but we can't all be Beyn
i 100% agree beyn always should have been in the starting 5 but most of their problems they were facing before they still had at champs their ult usage and midrounding were ultimately what let them down and now without teams being confused how to stop waylay x yoru their weaknesses will be more apparent if they dont fix them
Nope, from a talon fan:
DRX looked insane and was the first to adapt to the waylay yoru meta
Insane hyunmin

they'll went so far cause flashback's and hyunmin's performance was insane during champs '25
