ALT Hey all, I want to address today's news regarding both DEADSHT and CTZN. Both players will be leaving the team following separate agreements with a T1 organisation. I understand more than anyone that these changes will bring comments and questions due to our "track record", but it's important to be clear here that this was not a situation that we initiated or had full control over. I want to start by thanking both Jimmy and Ben for the time that we shared together on FNATIC, and in massively helping us to take FNATIC back to its first major Siege international event in 6 years. I could not have asked for more from both players. The level of experience and desire to win that both players showed is something that will stick with me for a long time, and to help lay the blueprint for the future of our team.

ALT The reality of esports is that roster changes can happen for a number of reasons. We do not disclose publicly these reasons, and we leave it at the discretion of our ex-members to share what they wish to share. Whilst this is not always what the fans want, and draws comments from the community, it is ultimately the fairest approach to take. In this instance, I want to be categorically clear that we did not wish or plan to make any changes post-Stage 1. The dream for all players, staff, and FNATIC as an organisation was to keep this group together and achieve the potential that we had shown. However, as the window developed, offers were made that simply felt too good or too risky to turn down. Whilst devastated at the loss of DEADSHT and CTZN, I am equally happy for them to progress in their careers and feel grateful to have been a part of their story. We will share news in the coming hours/days about our new additions and I hope that the FNATIC supporters can get behind them.
