Rumors: Poby and Oscarinin to be Benched by Fnatic , NAVI Shift Focus to Czajek

Time: 2025-11-11 18:00 (UTC)

Fnatic  plans to start the LEC 2026 season with an expanded roster, keeping mid-laner  Poby  and top-laner Oscarinin on the bench.

This was reported on November 11th in the Spanish podcast AllLioPodcast. The decision is related to internal staff changes and negotiations with other candidates. Meanwhile, NAVI shifted their focus to  Czajek  after Fnatic demanded a buyout for Poby 's transfer.

NAVI shifted priorities after Poby 's refusal

The Ukrainian organization NAVI was interested in Yun " Poby " Sonwon during the off-season, but Fnatic requested a transfer fee. As a result, the club began negotiations with Mateusz " Czajek " Czajka, who is currently a free agent. The podcast reported that Fnatic is close to finalizing a deal for a new top-laner. If the transfer goes through,  Oscarinin  and Poby will remain on the roster but outside the starting lineup.

Fnatic decides on the core for the 2026 season

If the changes are confirmed, Poby and Oscarinin will stay under contract but outside the starting lineup. In this case, Fnatic will start the season with seven players, two of whom will not be active — this will create additional strain on the team's structure.

Regarding the remaining positions, the decision will be between  Razork  and  Upset . According to sources, Razork is likely to remain on the roster. If Upset leaves Fnatic , he might miss the entire LEC 2026 season.
