At the end of the week, fnatic announced that it was inactivating Alex “ALEX” Makmikin and Valentin "poizon" Vasilyeva. In addition, Peppe "Peppzor" Borak will return to fnatic Rising. Thus, only two players remain on the team’s current roster – Freddy "KRIMZ" Johansson and William "mezii" Merryman. In 2022, these two esports athletes demonstrated the highest performance on the team, showing ratings of 1.03 and 1.07, respectively.
Over the past three months, fnatic has made several roster changes, and now plans to rebuild it around the two remaining players. At the end of February, Owen “smooya” left the roster. Butterfield, and he was replaced first by Julian "regali" Harjau and then poizon. On the eve of the qualifying tournaments for the major, fnatic had to rebuild its roster again due to the fact that Ludwig "Brollan" Brolin moved to NIP and Peppzor from fnatic Rising was added to the roster at the last minute.
Despite the fact that the team had practically no time to train with the new roster, it was able to reach the regional qualifying tournament, and also reached the playoffs at ESL Pro League Season 15. However, at the RMR tournament itself, fnatic did not achieve clear results, finishing it at 12th – 14th place and not making it to the major. She also failed to qualify for IEM Dallas. It remains unclear what players fnatic management plans to invite, however, in any case, the team will need to be assembled in a short time, since it should take part in the Pinnacle Cup Championship in early June.
