Fnatic Signs Former Team Dignitas and World Elite Players
Fnatic, the winners of this year’s European League Championship Series, have added two new players to their roster. Noh “Gamsu” Yeong-jin, former top laner for Team Dignitas, and Lee “Spirit” Da-yoon, ex-jungler for World Elite, have joined the team.
The signing of these players comes after the departure of Korean duo Huni and Reignover, who joined Fnatic earlier this year. Fnatic underwent a roster shuffle leading into the fifth season of League of Legends.
Sources close to the team have confirmed that Fnatic is looking to replicate their success from season five with the addition of Noh Yeong-jin and Lee Da-yoon. This duo signing comes as a surprise to many, as rumors suggested that Fnatic would stick to an all-European lineup for 2016.
Noh Yeong-jin, known for his time with Team Dignitas in North America, was considered one of the team’s main threats. However, he was unable to make a significant impact. Lee Da-yoon, on the other hand, is a semifinalist of the 2014 World Championship and had a successful career in South Korea before joining World Elite in China.
The two new players will join existing Fnatic members Febiven and Rekkles. The team is yet to decide on a support player, as the former support player and captain YellowStar recently announced his departure to join Team SoloMid in the North American LCS.
Huni and Reignover have not yet announced which teams they will be playing for in the upcoming season.
