James "Mistic" Orfila is a 21-year-old British player who has had a varied career, including a stint with the European powerhouse Fnatic. However, his time with Fnatic was not their most successful season. While part of the "Orange" squad, James participated in two World Championships in 2021 and 2022 but failed to secure podium finishes, with both appearances ending in 5-8 and 5-6 placements, respectively. Additionally, Fnatic, along with Mistic, competed in both stages of Masters - Reykjavik/Copenhagen. The first stage ended with an 11-12th place finish, and the second stage saw the team narrowly miss out on a podium finish, ultimately settling for 4th place.
Following these events, James departed from Fnatic and joined another European organization, Apeks. Despite a strong season, the team finished in 2nd place at VCT 2023: Ascension EMEA, missing out on an invitation to the tier-1 stage.
Despite not making it to the top tier, Team Liquid has shown interest in acquiring such an experienced player, making it likely that these rumors will prove to be true. Continue to follow our portal to stay updated on the future endeavors of the British player.
