The “Fnatic” team is the most popular and largest League of Legends team in Europe, but there has been a crisis for months. One of the hopes for the upswing was the Dane Martin “Wunder” Hansen: The 24-year-old was champion 4 times with G2 and was considered the best top laner in Europe in 5 seasons. But Fnatic now seems to be parting ways with him as well.

Wunder is sorted out at G2, ends up at Fnatic
How was his career lately? Wunder was at G2 for 4 years and it was actually impossible to imagine the team without him. He was one of the best players in Europe, although fans sneered that he didn’t look quite as good against the Korean and Chinese superstars as he did against the domestic competition.
After a weak 2021, G2 wanted to make a fresh start and parted ways with Wunder – he was replaced by the German top planner BrokenBlade, the “Topfather”.
Wunder ended up at Fnatic and qualified for Worlds with the team in a decent first year.
But after unsuccessful World Championships, Fnatic decided to make another change, swapping the strong botlane and bringing back Swede Rekkles. Since then it’s been a disaster.
Fnatic replaces Star with 19-year-old – He has the worst KDA in the league
This is the situation now: Ahead of the start of the new 2023 season, Fnatic have actually exchanged and benched Wunder: the 5-time champion was replaced by a 19-year-old Spaniard, by “Oscarinin.”
The Spaniard managed to die so many times in his first 6 games that he achieved the lowest KDA in Liga LEC ever:
The glimmer of hope is that the Spaniard will play his way into the league. Because after the first games his KDA was even worse and was 0.9. In contrast, 1.2 looks a lot friendlier
A KDA of 5-4-9 isn’t exactly “gold”, but at least it’s not terrible anymore:.
In the last few games things went a little better for Oscarinin – the first games were a disaster.
Wunder refused to participate in tryouts against 19-year-olds
Why was Miracle replaced? In a Twitch stream, Wunder explains the situation:
After the disastrous winter, they wanted to hold tryouts. The team they were rumored to be putting together wasn’t one I had high hopes for, so I said, It doesn’t make sense for me to try out for a team I don’t really want to play for.
Wunder laughs at fans’ demands that his strike must have consequences
Wunder laughs a little at the fans of Fnatic on Reddit in the Twitch stream. They would demand “consequences” if a player who is still under contract refuses to play for his team. The fans of Fnatic are “after him” – but he seems to be amused by it all.
“They also think they know everything – Haha, that’s really funny.”
This is behind it: Fnatic is in a difficult position. These all appear to be consequences of the decision to replace Upset with Rekkles:
Now many problems are coming together: The chemistry in the team seems to be missing, the draft is no longer up to date – it is not clear who is making the announcements in the team. Upset is said to be very good as an “announcer”, but he’s now playing for the competition (via blix.gg).
In the winter of 2022, the whole team’s performance collapsed.
To fix Fnatic, now bring in 2 rookies and replace top lane and support. An experienced player like Perkz criticizes this maneuver from the outside. He says you can’t throw rookies into difficult situations, they’d get burned out (via dotesports). If you’re going to get someone new, they have to be experienced professionals.
It is somehow understandable that someone like Wunder, a seasoned professional who is spoiled by success, sees no hope in playing in such a team and apparently considers it an insult to majesty to have to prevail against a 19-year-old rookie. But the fact that he refuses to participate in tryouts is… difficult.
