On June 16th, one of the leading teams in the EMEA region, Fnatic, announced a surprising change to their roster for their fans. Due to health issues, Leo is temporarily leaving the team, and hiro will be taking his place.

According to the team's co-director, CoJo, the decision to bring in hiro was made after careful consideration of alternative options. Fnatic had several players to choose from, but ultimately it was decided that bringing in hiro would be the best decision for the team.

Additionally, Fnatic also announced that Leo will take a break from gaming activities until fully recovering his health. This decision was made to ensure his well-being and ability to return to gaming at full strength in the future.

Interestingly, Fnatic also considered the possibility of bringing in paTiTek, who had previously made a significant contribution to their success at the VCT 2024 Masters Shanghai tournament. However, a final decision on this matter has not been made.

It is currently unknown how long Leo will be on leave, but Fnatic expressed confidence that the new team member will successfully replace him in current competitions and provide the team with stability and success.
