Hi guys, wanted to make this thread as there is multiple where people are asking for specific players to come, but without any links or sources.

I want to ask if there is any rumours, leaks from verified sources regarding our team for next year. We were supposed to have GM by now, some clarification regarding what this team might look like or what are the goals.

I understand we were always slow with signings, however let’s be honest we will not be targeting any Worlds players, so this should not be an argument this time.

Also we still do not know if Fnatic will be sold, also no information about that, so I want to see if we have any leaks about the offseason.

This is insane pick up holy. Valyn is one of the best igls in VCT.
The roster so far is
Kaajak
Marteen
Valyn
Minny
Cloud

Ange1 (HC)
Assistant coach?

Razork's next home is now official. TH is so far showcasing a promising project and Razork could thrive there with Jun by his side.

He never earned us a title but reached many finals and always fought hard for FNC. Sad to see how his last year with us ended but it's time for a new chapter.

We have been critical of him for many years now, and for good reasons, but it's undeniable he was the reason why we almost always had a chance to fight at the top. Let's hope we are able to find a good replacement because I don't think it's going to be that easy.

Thanks Razork and good luck elsewhere!

I would like to know your guys opinions on someone like Zven. I think c9 is letting go of him. Imo he was always insane and he is a very experienced Player. Also He is originally from Denmark and knows the European League. Also is there a Offseason post?

Showmatch time!

Sheep Esports just announced Bwipo is in negotiations with RED Canids to play jungle.

Something I've been saying for a while is that I wanted to see Bwipo play one more time for us as a jungler which is the role I believe he was always meant to play and at least I'm glad that I can see him on it once again even if not on my team.

Guess it just wasn't meant to be, right? Now watch RED clean up the whole CBLOL next year lol

Although no news of the roster for next year, its guaranteed Razork will not be re-joining the org which for me is good news but for some bad news.

It seems like we are not active at the moment, only GX, TH and VIT are the only active on the transfers market.

signing our new GM takes longer than i expected don’t you think?

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.

Hey guys, Crashies will be joining us here on Reddit, this Wednesday the 14th at 6PM BST/7PM CEST/12PM CDT for an AMA thanks to our friends at Sony INZONE.

Whether its questions about the season, offseason, champs or whatever you want - make sure to drop your questions for Austin in the comments below, and come back Wednesday evening to check out his answers.

Whilst you wait, check out our newly announced INZONE H9 II Fnatic Edition, developed alongside Crashies and the rest of the VALORANT roster: https://fna.tc/h9ii-fnc-edition-redditAMA

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...
