Look Sports Media – Fnatic and their star mid-laner, Marek "Humanoid" Brázda, have parted ways after a three-year partnership, sending shockwaves through the League of Legends community. The announcement, made via looksports.media, follows Humanoid’s benching in July in favor of Korean prospect Sungwon "Poby" Yun from T1 Rookies. While Humanoid’s contract runs until November 17th, he’s free to explore other opportunities.
The split comes after Fnatic head coach Grabbz voiced concerns about the team’s scrim performance and training intensity before the Summer Split. While speculation arose regarding Humanoid’s motivation, Fnatic owner Sam Mathews vehemently denied these claims, praising Humanoid’s dedication and expressing regret over their inability to secure a championship together. Mathews’ heartfelt statement on social media underscored the respect and appreciation for Humanoid’s contributions.
Humanoid himself revealed his plans to focus on streaming for the remainder of 2025, stating he’ll use the time to settle into a new apartment before considering his future in competitive play. This marks the first time in seven years that Humanoid will miss the League of Legends World Championships, a significant milestone in his career.

Fnatic’s qualification for Worlds 2025 hangs in the balance. With a formidable match against LEC Spring champions Movistar KOI looming, the team faces a critical test. While betting sites favor Fnatic, their success against KOI will determine whether their eight-year streak of Worlds appearances continues. The upcoming match will not only shape Fnatic’s future but also reveal whether Poby can fill Humanoid’s considerable shoes. This unexpected parting of ways leaves many questions unanswered about the future of both Humanoid and Fnatic, setting the stage for a dramatic conclusion to the 2025 season.
