ALEX: We’ll be taking it game by game
HLTV.org spoke to fnatic’s captain ahead of their debut in ESL Pro League Season 14.
At the start of August, the Swedish organization announced a big change to their roster. fnatic decided to depart from an all-Swedish lineup and transition to an international roster with the addition of former Cloud9 duo Alex “ALEX” McMeekin and William “mezii” Merriman.
fnatic are set to make their first official appearance on Friday at 16:45 (CET) in the Group C of ESL Pro League Season 14, facing off against the toughest squad in the group, NAVI. Ahead of their debut, HLTV.org spoke to fnatic’s new captain to find out what their focus is on heading into their first tournament together.
“For us this will be a test to see where we are, practice could be going really well or really bad, it doesn’t matter until you play officials. I don’t even think the first event is a real test, as we’re coming in with them not knowing what to expect, which is an advantage for us, so if we do well, we won’t be overconfident or take it as our level going forward.
We’ll be taking it game by game, we would like to make the playoffs because it would be a good confidence booster from the start, but we’re aware that we have tough opponents to face so it’ll be hard.” – Alex “ALEX” McMeekin on fnatic’s focus heading into EPL.
