Look Sports Media – Fnatic CEO Sam Mathews’ cryptic tweet has sent ripples through the League of Legends community, hinting at significant roster changes for the LEC Summer Split. With the team’s MSI hopes dashed and the Summer Split looming on August 2nd, Mathews’ tweet – a simple "when there’s something to say about the changes…" – has ignited speculation about who will be staying and who will be going.
This isn’t entirely out of the blue. Fnatic Head Coach Fabian "GrabbZ" Lohmann previously indicated a roster review was underway. While he confirmed the bot lane duo of Upset and Mikyx are safe, the future of top laner Oscarinin, jungler Razork, and mid laner Humanoid remains uncertain. The pressure is on; with no Championship Points this year, only the top three LEC teams in the Summer Split will secure a coveted spot at Worlds.
Contractual situations add another layer of complexity. Humanoid’s contract expires in November, while Oscarinin and Razork are locked in until November 2026. Making significant changes mid-season is a risky gamble, especially given the high stakes of the Summer Split and the fierce competition in the EMEA region. Fnatic, alongside G2, KOI, and Karmine Corp, are battling for a top-three finish, with at least one powerhouse missing out on Worlds in China this year.

Fnatic’s legacy weighs heavily on this decision. Their impressive streak of seven consecutive Worlds appearances is on the line, broken only twice before in their history (Season 2 and 2016). Will they risk disrupting a winning formula, or will a strategic roster shake-up be the key to securing their eighth consecutive appearance at the ultimate League of Legends showdown? The coming weeks promise to be crucial for Fnatic and their fans.
