Fnatic – A Legacy of Excellence
Fnatic, a renowned team in the European league, has risen to fame since its inception. While they faced challenges in recent years, Fnatic has undergone significant transformations to reclaim their former glory. They took risks by replacing star players, such as top laner Martin “Wunder” Hansen and bot laner Carl Martin “Rekkles” Larsson, with newcomers Óscar “Oscarinin” Jiménez and Oh “Noah” Hyeon-taek. These gambles paid off, leading to Fnatic’s best performance in years during the Summer Split. With their latest roster change, welcoming Yoon “Jun” Se-jun, Fnatic aims to reach new heights in the 2024 season. [^1^]

Yike quickly established himself as one of Europe’s best junglers, displaying impressive skills at international events like MSI and Worlds.

Joining them are former Team Vitality players Zhou “Bo” Yang-Bo and Elias “Upset” Lipp. Both players faced significant pressure while on Vitality but have the opportunity to prove themselves in 2024.

However, jungler Javier “Elyoya” Batalla and top laner Kim “Chasy” Dong-hyeon remain, with Chasy now sharing the top lane with LEC rookie Alex “Myrwn” Villarejo. The team has also introduced four rookies, including mid laner Bartłomiej “Fresskowy” Przewoźnik and bot laners David “Supa” Martínez García and Álvaro “Alvaro” Fernández del Amo.
