Fnatic Reveals 2016 Roster Ahead of Intel Extreme Masters Cologne
The 2016 offseason has been a rollercoaster for Fnatic, the top Western team in League of Legends. However, the team has finally revealed its 2016 roster, which includes two new Korean imports and a rising support player.
The new lineup will compete in the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne tournament against other top teams from around the world.
Meet Fnatic’s Newest Players
Fnatic has officially signed Lee “Spirit” Da-yoon, Noh “Gamsu” Yeong-jin, and Lewis “NoXiAK” Felix. Daily Dot’s reports were confirmed by the team.
Replacing Key Players
After winning the EU League Championship Series titles and reaching the semifinals at the World Championships, Fnatic faced the departure of top laner Huni, jungler Reignover, and leader Yellowstar. The team had to find suitable replacements.
The New Korean Duo and Support
Spirit, known as one of the world’s top junglers, has joined Fnatic as their new jungler. He has chosen Noh as their top laner, and the two have a strong synergy. NoXiAK, the new support player, replaces the veteran leader and shot caller, Yellowstar.
The new lineup’s potential will be put to the test at IEM Cologne, with their first match scheduled for Saturday against the winner of Dignitas versus Qiao Gu.
Fnatic hopes to repeat the success of last year, when their roster changes brought them a magical season.
