Backup Plan After Jun Deal Falls Through

The key moment was the negotiations on November 21st — GIANTX refused to sell Yoon "Jun" Se-joon. After this, Fnatic focused on the remaining options and chose Lospa over Kim "Piero" Jong-hoon. SK Gaming and ERL teams, including Los Heretics and Solary , also showed interest in the South Korean.

Lospa began his career at the  Generation Gaming  academy, spent three and a half years in Korea , and became the champion of the Summer Split and the Final Four of the LVP with GIANTX Pride in 2025. With his move to Fnatic , he will compete for the first time in a first-division league.

The club has already confirmed three players. The roster began forming with the transfer of Vladimiro "Vladi" Kourtidis to the mid lane and the establishment of Panayiotis "Empyros" Tantis in the top lane. After signing Lospa, two positions remain to be filled. Javier "Razork" Cámara is close to renewing his contract and may stay in the jungle for the fifth consecutive season.

Expected Fnatic Roster for 2026:

• Toplane: Panayiotis "Empyros" Tantis
• Jungle: TBD
• Midlane: Vladimiro "Vladi" Kourtidis
• AD Carry: TBD
• Support: Park "Lospa" Joon-hyeong
• Head Coach: Fabian "GrabbZ" Lohmann
