ALEX: I feel like we HAVE TO succeed because of all our firepower
In an interview with Pley, the IGL talks about Fnatic’s hopes for 2022 and beating the likes of G2, FaZe and Vitality in the future.
Last year in October, Fnatic cemented their status as an international team when they brought in the third British player in Owen “Smooya” Butterfield (on trial) to their roster. One of the key figures in the new British-Swedish project is the IGL Alex “ALEX” McMeekin, who has to integrate the two camps into one unit.
We got the chance to sit down with ALEX to talk about his strong arsenal of weapons on Fnatic and why he believes it demands success when having smooya on the AWP mixed with a forceful trio of KRIMZ, mezii, and the Swedish youngster Brollan.
- There is so much firepower and potential that I feel like we HAVE TO succeed. As long as we work hard and do everything we can, I think we will maybe not be the number 1 team, but I definitely think we can contend for titles – hopefully, sooner rather than later.
When asked about whether Fnatic could top or beat the new star-studded EU teams in Vitality, G2 and FaZe, ALEX answered very optimistic and confident.
- I believe we can. I think we are up there in terms of firepower and everything we have right now as a team. Unfortunately for us not being a BLAST partner, it makes it tougher to be high in the rankings and stuff. But we just have to make the most out of the tournaments we’re in, and if we do good, I think we can rival them for sure, ALEX said to Pley.
