00:00Shao Siyuan's team is leading the team fight.
00:03Fnatic is on fire.
00:04Fnatic's backline is easy to expose their vision.
00:08Yeah, yeah.
00:09It's pretty bad.
00:10You're the only one at the front.
00:11It feels like you're a hero.
00:13Yeah.
00:14If Nezha flies in blindly at this time,

00:18He's going to fly.
00:19Let's see how Fnatic breaks through to the end
00:25What can you sing for your opponent?
00:35There's a lot of discrimination in the game.
00:39When people know you're a girl,
00:41they'll be mean to you.

01:39Who can see us?
01:41Very few people can see us.
01:43Whether it's our backline or our resource circle,
01:47even if they see us,
01:51very few people will stay.
02:11I think Fnatic wants to bring more people to the table.
