I really was not expecting that. I am really confident in Cojo so I am excited to see Angel in Fnc. Now all that remains is the smoker. My dream has always been to see Nats in Fnatic. We already have Minny for his position though. Let’s see what the future brings.

What the title says, which player's departure made you emotional ? Like you were sad they left because you like them, regardless of their performance ?

Mine would be Krimz, Rekkles, Hylissang and Pete

Obviously there are a ton of questions about the League roster for the year after this one. Some players have a case of sticking around for the next team, but more likely than not we're gonna meet more new faces than welcome back older ones.

Jungle looks to be the most likely spot to see a change, and there's obviously a lot of talk here of Yukino and whether he'd want to start his Tier-1 career on Fnatic. But this got me wondering about a relatively iron-clad rule of thumb when it comes to roster construction for the past few years: All the LEC junglers came from Europe, or at least have fluency in English. They probably serve as a key voice in comms at worse, and are primarily shot-callers at the most. This despite the LEC importing supports whose primary language is not English, even as they might also be a key part of team comms . And non-EU junglers have been a thing in the past like Malrang or Bo. Or G2 Trick, if you want to go further back.

I think I am largely in the current consensus in that jungler is too important a role to give to someone who might have a language barrier with the team. But if management really wants to try and max out talent, this rule of thumb might not necessarily be strictly followed.

So as per anonimotum, Minny will be the new sentinel for FNC. While I do find it a downgrade from Alfa and I am not in such high spirits since I was really hoping to have some Turkish aim in the roster, I would like to hear some more thoughts on that. With Cloud and Kajaak most likely staying and marteen joining only the smoker role is left. So I was wondering who could fill that role sufficiently to reach the top again. Boo is an option but I feel like if you keep Cloud you should not go for another IGL. Ruxic is joining M8 iirc so what other S tier options are there?

Kaajak + Cloud + Marteen + minny + ? (no matter who the last one is) = the worse FNC Valorant roster that was assembled since the start of the game.

to Cojo: if you are reading this, you became the Dardo of Valorant and you should...just leave, simple as that.

2026 - Letting go of Milan and replace him with Engh has to be the worst move in Valorant history

You lose Chronicle, you lose Alfajer and you replace them with whom? With players from Gentle Mates - Marteen and minny. This is the equivalent of FNC LoL getting players from Shifters, better not describe it.

If there are any FNC Valorant fans left out there, it's time for you to abandon this ship too, this team won't reach regional playoffs just like LoL team doesn't and won't reach them anymore.

What happens now is exactly what happened when FNC lost Caps in LoL. Vitality starts being successful with FNC players while FNC becomes irelevant, GG.

Hey guys!

I'm posting this here specifically because I want it to go to a true Fnatic fan who will actually appreciate it and take good care of it.

Due to personal reasons, I have to let go of my official Fnatic Worlds 2017 jacket

Size: L
Player: Rekkles
Condition: Very good condition

If anyone is interested or would like to see more detailed photos, feel free to send me a private message.

Thanks a lot and have a great weekend, everyone!

Our legacy from season 1 still get mentioned even now, make me really hope we could return somewhat to our glory in the future.

There is no hiding it anymore. Fnatic can no longer rely on brand prestige to attract star talent and mask its crumbling infrastructure. Previously, individual players and coaches like Nightshare covered up higher-up incompetence, much like throwing a blanket over moldy walls.

Today, internal dysfunction is fully exposed. Figures like Tolkin, Nemesis, and YamatoCannon have highlighted the toxic environment. The mismanagement is best illustrated by disastrous roster decisions: Worlds 2022: Replacing Hylissang with Rhuckz after ONE wildcard win => Top ADCs refusing to join => ''Forced'' signing of Rekkles and then not giving Nightshare any proper tools or staff for coaching, even though he begged them for it, since they were understaffed

(And then even firing Rekkles after just two splits but somehow giving incompetent contract extensions to Oscarinin and Razork.)

While Noah and Jun provided a temporary band-aid, the underlying rot remained. Now, without overperforming talent, Fnatic has suffered its worst showing in history with two consecutive splits without playoffs.

Announcing new management searches means nothing if Dardo stays in power, especially after they lied about firing him, only for him to fail upwards. The "mold" must be removed entirely. To succeed, a head coach needs competent support staff, as seen in G2 and Team Liquid.

Rebuilding this foundation takes at least a year. As a fan since 2015, it is painful seeing that unlike G2, KOI, Karmine Corp, or NAVI, Fnatic lost its ambition and genuine care for the game.

For fnatic to show that they genuinely care they have to give proper care for management, coaching staff and then later competent contract signings after the foundation is laid.

I know everyone on the sub wants to get a rookie support to replace Lospa but I think its the one position where we should be keeping someone with experience who can guide and communicate decisively through difficult periods of the game. A rookie sup works if the rest of the team is mostly experienced and can call for the play to be made but heading into next year, where we are hopefully turning over a fresh leaf, I think we should try and secure a consistent, mage+engage experienced sup player. Now I dont have someone in particular in mind but this is the direction I would hope to see fnatic take.

I also think it would be good to invest in a couple more positional coaches similar to odoamne. They dont need to be permanently with the team, can be a part time kinda role to save costs, but having someone to guide the new jg/sup/vladi would be very beneficial. It has been a long standing trend in eastern teams to have past players as mentors/coaches and LEC is heading towards that too. Hope we can borrow some of that too.

We got knocked out way earlier than usual—we’ve been out for a while now—and how is it possible that we are so incredibly slow when it comes to making signings? Piero is an insane support player... and GX already beat us to him... it’s unbelievable how bad we are even at signing players... are we going to end up signing people in November or December? Just picking up the scraps or the players every other team rejected? It’s incredible how bad we are in every sense with this organization... or are there other priorities? We’ll end up with the leftovers and just have to pray for next year all over again...

Just imagine Piero on Fnatic... he’s an amazing support... I don’t think we’ll find anyone else like him.

Or is Fnatic eyeing players currently at Worlds and waiting for the tournament to end before negotiating? It seems like a mistake not to have signed Piero...

Any team can beat us to a signing these days... it’s unbelievable...

With Piero now going to GX as reported by the Sheep it makes me wonder. Where do we go for the support position next year? People talk about the other roles regularly but I don't see much discussion about support. Imo, Lospa is not good enough and the available support pool is not good in EU. Will this be another off-season where we are the last team in the LEC and one of the last teams in the world to create a team and just pickup average players in the end? Do you think that there is a potential for a good affordable roster for 2027? Will the potential new GM actually have a chance to create a roster that he wants or will he be left with almost nothing to work with?

I saw a clip on x about our mid situation , and we want guti from t1 academy or we ask about it .
Any ideias about if is good ?
Also any more rumors ?

Hi guys, I found this old 2018 neon edition sweatshirt of mine from Rekkles Korea. Since the M size is no longer mine, I wanted to ask if you think it has any value in the European market considering the year. Thanks everyone.

Their coaching staff too

Something like this for 2026 FNC:

• Soboro/Bwipo

• Zicssi

• Vladi

• Upset/Jopa

• Piero

Coaches: Dan dan + Gine

Piero should’ve been in LEC from last year. I wanted him over Lospa

Piero made Boukada look better than he is, then he makes Yukino look better than he is. In case Razork stays, Piero can make him look better too

Alright I have seen enough, just lock it in for 2027

Soboro
Zicssi
Vladi
Aetinoth
Piero

Soboro already proved himself, I can easily see him improving further rather then falling of.
Zicssi is the best jungler in ERL's. (Yes even better then Yukino imo)
Vladi because there's really no better option, I wouldn't see Omon as better fit.
Aetinoth is the best ADC in ERL's with a lot of potential.
Piero is a very solid support with an already established synergy with both jung/ad

This roster would give 2 things that we could really use right now, hope due to the individual potential of the players and financial flexibility cause ya'll know that we just cannot afford to spend money like G2, KC or KOI.

I mean could you honestly tell me a better roster that would actually be a possibility for us? This is a roster we can actually build upon.

I know only rumoured yet, but could it be? If we get a supporting jungler (Sheo on steroids would be insane) we would have already a super super strong base. Thoughts?

Hey guys I’ve been a Fnatic fan since season 4 and obviously very disappointed with the recent results. However I’d like to keep the off-season a bit more fun – now even more so since we’re not attending worlds, so here is my personal wish list that’s not entirely far fetched for the 2027 roster:

Top: In my opinion just stick with Soboro; otherwise look for someone solid and low maintenance like Maynter

Jungle: Rhilech would be a good option but it’s unlikely Navi will let him go; Yukino could be very promising and rather cheap to get

Mid: Same as for top, probably just stick with Vladi and hope he will continue on his upward trajectory; Jackies would have been nice but sadly is going to TH as it seems; honestly I don’t see a better option than Vladi right now

ADC: I am not an Upset fan but I think he was quite good last season, but it’s probably best for everyone to change; Jopa would be a good and promising option; someone else to look for could be Harpoon from ERLs

Support: Parus has quite a lot of potential in my opinion and maybe Navi would let him go; otherwise just go for Zoelys in combination with Harpoon probably

What do you guys think?

The rumored trial for two days ago had Boo and MONSTEEERR on it.

While I appreciate Boo’s successes I would be pretty confused if we would let go of Boaster to have Boo as an IGL. Also Alfajer to MNSTEER would be weird as well. I feel like the two Turkish slots have to be filled cause there ain’t no other flag with that firepower.

I really dig Lar0k Loita but I feel there is already a role issue with the addition of marteen and we would have too many duelists playing other roles.

What do you think of the Boo, MONSTERR?

I also saw Doma on the picture but a guy said he was filling in. Only love for Doma

Fnatic won world in 2011

Minecraft last added a new dimension in November 2011 when The End was released with version 1.0.

GG, 2027 is our year.

I do not know how many Fnatic fans are in London, I do not know if Riftbound is popular in the UK, but if it is, would Fnatic organize a Riftbound Nexus Night ? I saw that GenG and T1 organized one so I was wondering if it's something Fnatic will consider or if it's not interesting.

At least, it's a way to bring the fans together. Would you guys be interested ?
