Fnatic Cyanide Ask Me Anything Summary

The jungler for Fnatic Lauri "Cyanide" Happonen recently took to reddit to answers questions about his career, who will be top of EU, whether Shook lives up to the hype, and more. Here is a short summary of the Ask me Anything.

The full post can be found here

His Career So Far


"I constantly improve but sometimes lose my level as well. I have a lot of ups and downs…What motivates me is all my fans and the sheer will of myself and my team to win"

"Maybe IEM New York [was the best offline event] because it was ComiCon and we won"

"Best moment [in my career] was either winning Season 1 Finals or beating EG in the qualifier to Season 3 Worlds"

"I talk to Lamia and Mellisan sometimes but quite rarely and Shushei almost never. I would love to meet any of them at any time though"

"Diamond in Season 2 was absolutely terrifying to play against. He was just ahead of meta at a certain time"

"[The best player I played with/against] Id say Froggen in Season 2"

 

The Upcoming LCS Split

"[I think the standings at the end of the split will be] Alliance, Gambit, Fnatic, Millenium (Alternate), Copenhagen Wolves, SK, KMT, Lemondogs"

"Shook is very good, we didn’t scrim Alliance that much though so I look forward to playing him offline"

"Shook in insanely good online but I will have to see his skills offline and playing against the top teams"

"I think we will improve a lot on the actual season though once we get rolling"

"We seem to have our good days and bad days, sometimes crushing our opponents in scrims…and some days we play like bronze 5"

"There is no weak link in [Alliance] and both Froggen and Shook are top of EU"

 

His Teammates

"I am incredibly self critical so I might underrate myself"

"Soaz has a very good understanding of the game, maybe the best of the players I know"

"I love [all of my teammates]. I’m closest with peke though since I’ve been with him for 3 years through very good times and very bad times"

"Rekkles is an insanely good player but plays differently compared to Puszu…Id say in the current meta Rekkles is definitely the right choice for us"

"I don’t think we have a weak link but we aren’t that solid and sometimes go full feed mode :D"

 

Junglers and Season 4

"Id like to play Kha’Zix but Soaz says I suck with assassins. He is probably right"

"Korean/Chinese junglers are very aggressive and don’t like to farm especially early game. EU junglers have a lot of playstyles that usually depends on the champion but generally like to farm a bit more. US junglers I only know Meteos loves to farm and is very good"

"Now definitely more junglers are viable as its easier to clear and there are more champions/items. Also in season 4 it is easier to directly carry…A lot of playstyles are viable right now"

"[Dexter] is pretty good. Not sure if worth all the effort though, but I guess EU junglers are just too strong!"

 

Cyanide seems to be looking forward to once again taking on the best in Europe when the LCS kicks off next week, Shook and Alliance in particular, and he looks back on his career with humor and pride.
