For anyone asking - Leo is still a member of our team and we’re doing everything we can in the background to support his recovery. It’s very hard to predict his return at the moment so we’ve decided to bring in Crashies who we’re confident in to fill the role until Leo is ready.

Apologies on being a bit late to comment on this - lost connectivity on my flight. We’ve had a lot of discussions and reviews internally since Champions has ended, looking at all possibilities and we decided that it’s best to allow Derke to explore his opportunities while we.
Let the off season begin. Restricted F/A.Open to EMEA/NA/APAC.Highly motivated & dedicated to win. Contact: DM @Alex_Ruskii / derke@nivomanagement.com.

To be clear, Hiro is “standing in” for Leo but we acquired him from SMB to be our 6th man & he’ll be coming to Korea with us if he plays or not. We’re really happy with how he’s performed + he’s a proper member of the team. Not to play semantics but I think the difference matters.

Glad to see Mada did well in SEN City Classic. We trialled him and he was probably my personal 2nd favorite player behind Kaajak. Really good attitude and played well in our trials despite the ping. Bright future ahead for him.

My completely unbiased list. But fr, I think as a viewer I rate good grand finals / deep playoffs, crowd and entertainment value / upsets over best format / best team winning. & say what you want about LOCK//IN crowd, but it’s the only time I’ve felt a stadium physically shake.

Hiro helped us out when there were very limited options. When he signed, we were worried about qualifying for Champions League - by the end we were upset we weren’t at the Top 4 Champions Arena. Good luck to Hiro next year in VCT, no question he’ll be in Berlin in 2025!.
Today we say goodbye to @hiroaims. He has been an incredible asset to our squad and we couldn't have made the Champions run we did without him. We wish him the best of luck on his next venture and hope to see him on the server again soon 🧡🖤 #ALWAYSFNATIC

8 years at @FNATIC . Hasn't been the best period recently but can say I'm pretty proud at what I've achieved with my teams over my career here at FNC. Always do my best to be as transparent and honest with the fans and give them teams they can be proud of. ❤️ to @sattermon +

Surprised that if you're playing online to get ascended + get promoted to VCT which is worth millions for your organization that you aren't boot camping / together as a team. Ofc Riot made a mistake with not allowing the sub, but how is internet issues even a potential problem?.

Wanted to put a few things out there as we're now getting dragged into these discussions:. 1. The regional pay disparity is no secret to anyone - it's always been like this between NA/rest of world. 2. We're always in the top 3 highest investors in our region in terms of staff.
Orgs found out how much Fnatic was paying and giving teams/player’s ultimatum. “Take this salary or don’t play in franchise. Not my problem”.

1-2 vs SEN and that’s our season done. Was a pretty disappointing season overall with our goals and ambitions. Champions felt incredibly winnable this year but we lost to ourselves (Sunset was ours today). I’m gonna do a Twitter Space to talk about the season as a whole and.

Nothing is guaranteed in esports and unfortunately we weren’t at the races today. Stings to miss our first event since mid-2021 - and sorry to all the fans who were hoping to see us there. I take some responsibility here as we were looking to peak at the end of the year and not.

Seems we have a new Crash landing. Really happy to have Austin join for 2025 and I know his veteran leadership and mid-rounding will be a huge help to us going into the new season! Has meshed super well with the boys here in Tokyo, definitely a FNATIC player.
A new teammate just crashed the party. We've got one more surprise this offseason:

False. To clarify: we don’t stop transfers of players due to competitive reasons, nor do we have diff asks depending on the buyer - we just expect the buy-out to be met which most interested teams have been able to do. Can give more insight on all this when the offseason is done

Also, not sure why I need to say this but Leo is one of the best players in the world and when he is able to play, he will play. We’re not selling him to NA or planning to remove or him or something. He has a contract until end of 2025 too so we’re not trying to rush him back.
Been a lot of thought and preparation done in the last month and unfortunately we had to make this decision with Leo. Anyone who knows him knows that he would be competing if he was able. Hiro has been huge for us, been a great addition and we’ve entered some great form so I’m.

Damn that is rough, that's now 3 GFs in a row that Heretics have lost. Could be a bit of a gas tank problem? Final 2 maps of each GF they've got (rounds) 5 and 7 against KC, 5 and 8 against us, & now 4 and 3 against Gen.G. Def the talent is there, but not quite the stamina.

To go from struggling to make it to the later rounds of EU Challengers, to making the Grand Final and losing in pretty much 3 OTs in the biggest game in Valorant history, it's insane. So fucking proud of these boys. The future is incredibly bright. Cya in Berlin. #ALWAYSFNATIC

The last player we trialled - and it was definitely saved for the best. Motivated, hungry, and talented guy who we're excited to build something amazing with in 2024! Has meshed with the team well so far with Sayonara + I think we're gonna do some serious damage this off-season.

It's been a honor to watch Derke grow and change as a player and human being over the last 1278 days at FNATIC. He's grown so much in confidence, maturity, leadership, and overall as a person. Parting ways was an incredibly difficult decision but I think he knows how much we.
The duelist to win us back-to-back trophies. The teammate, and friend we couldn't have done it without. Today we say farewell and thank you to @Derke. None of what we have accomplished in VALORANT would have been possible without you 🧡

One final note as the off-season winds down - we’ve been getting constant questions about Leo and his current situation. I’d ask that everyone respects his and the team’s privacy and we’ll come with an update once there is something meaningful to report. That’s the last I’ll say.

Just to give some context (not excuse) we were plagued by sickness this week (stomach flu, people throwing up & sleeping on bathroom floors). We didn’t practice Sunday or Monday, were w/o coaches 3 days last week and had 2-3 days of half days. Last full strength practice day was.
First ever loss in an EMEA regular season, feels bad. Weren’t hitting today unfortunately but still a long season ahead. GGs to Heretics, showing that they’re not going anywhere as a top contender in Europe. See you next week for GX game!

Idk maybe I’m biased the opposite way but how is LOCK//IN as a viewing experience bottom 3 of all-time + Tokyo crowd was best crowd. Also too bad the 5 worst tournaments of all time were the EMEA wins, unfortunate coincidence 🥲 . maybe I’m too FNC-pilled, your guys thoughts?

@RocketBullets The player we would've taken would have been HyP - and taking their IGL and captain for an indefinite amount of time while they're pushing for ascension didn't really make sense to us.

I think the Potter underdog story / winning Champions is enough to win her the award, no qualms there - but I'm still baffled how @minijake_ did below and didn't even get nominated in either Esports Awards or Game Awards. International Series: 13-2 (87% WR).International Maps:.

For context: there’s no world where we don’t play together as a 5 now. It’s just a question of on stage or from hotel and with his current timeline/symptoms beginning we’re confident we will be able to play on stage. So no need to panic anyone, it’ll be fine.

Kind of a random thought but that's now 4 trophies in 4 different continents (Asia, South America, Africa and Europe) which I assume we're the only team to do so. Felt nice to finally win one in Europe too after losing in Copenhagen and EMEA Finals last year.

We got an update yesterday that they are prioritizing visas for earthquake victims so that's where the further delay comes from. We got good news on his long-term visa this week - but just waiting on the short-term solution to come through any day. Thanks for everyone's patience!.
Delays continue to affect @Alfajervl's VISA to join us, so @kamykvalo will once again return to the stage vs BBL tomorrow. We'll provide updates as we have them, and we're working hard to welcome back Alfajer as soon as possible. Bring on tomorrow, and good luck Kamyk!
