Fnatic make roster changes and bench bodyy

Fnatic has officially announced the transfer of their captain Alexandre "⁠ bodyy ⁠" Pianaro to the bench. This decision was unexpected for fans, as the French player had been leading the team for over a year, starting from November 2023. Now Fnatic faces the task of rebuilding their roster after failures in the major tournaments of 2024 .

bodyy was a key figure in the team, and his departure signifies the organization's ambition to overcome the crisis. Will Fnatic be able to become competitive once again on the global stage?

A Year of Searching: Fnatic 's Successes and Failures
bodyy took over as captain after Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong's departure. During this time, Fnatic managed to achieve only a few significant results. The most notable was a second place at the FiReLEAGUE 2024 Global Finals and qualifying for the Perfect World Shanghai Major. However, even the addition of star player Benjamin "⁠ blameF ⁠" Bremer didn't help the team achieve consistent success.

In 2024 , Fnatic participated in only three major tournaments, including two seasons of the ESL Pro League and the Shanghai Major, where their results were disappointing — 21st to 28th place at EPL and last place in the major's opening stage.

Currently, Fnatic ’s roster is as follows:

Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson
Matúš "⁠MATYS⁠" Šimko
Benjamin "⁠ blameF ⁠" Bremer
Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson (on loan from BLEED )

Why is this important?
The departure of bodyy is not only Fnatic 's attempt to emerge from a competitive crisis but also an example of how teams adapt to new challenges in esports. Fnatic 's successes or failures in the upcoming seasons will show how effective their strategy will be.
