LoL: What are your thoughts about individual players and coaches staying for 2027?

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS

Regardless of whether FNC has or doesn't have money and regardless of whether changes in the upper management occur, how are you feeling about individual players and coaches potentially staying for next year?

Soboro: 100% = Sadly, we only got to see him play for a very short period of time for us. However, he jumped right in, was confident in his plays, expanded our drafting options and seemed solid both on weak side and strong side. His English seems good enough as well. I would love to see him again with us next year. Hard to say how probable that is.

Razork: 0% = It's simply time. Razork has always given us a fighting chance against the best but his inconsistency is the most consistent thing about him throughout those 5 years with us. At one point, he felt like the heart and soul of FNC but it got us nowhere. He has instincts which seem to make it impossible to build a consistent team around him. I hope he finds home elsewhere in LEC, he is an entertaining wild card player, but we need to move on to change our identity. Some time ago, I wrote a more detailed analysis of Razork if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/fnatic/comments/1nvf3ny/razork_the_doubleedged_sword_or_razor_of_fnc/

Vladi: 70% = Showed some terrible performances throughout the year but had some redeeming ones in Spring and Summer. He has talent and potential but it seems he struggles with stress. If we stick with him, I hope we can build a good environment for him to thrive in. Because he was with us for only 1 year, I am more inclined to seeing him again in orange next year.

Upset: 50% = I am not gonna hide it, I am an Upset fan and still think of him highly. But there is a stigma around him (especially in ties with FNC) which make me wonder whether he can still be happy and perform well in FNC. If he stays, we need to pair him up with another great support cause his results with Hily and Miky were undeniable. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind seeing a change which may also bring in a new playstyle.

Lospa: 0% = Lospa seemed fine throughout the year. Like he usually wasn't the reason we lost yet he was hardly ever the reason we won. He may be good enough for a bottom or mid tier LEC team but I saw nothing that would make me believe he is a championship material. I just don't see a reason for him to stay.

Gaax: 10% = I am not gonna act as if I know what exactly he does in the team but from what I can assume, I am not impressed. I believe Gaax is hardworking but is he able to connect with players on a more emotional level? The team knows better than me.

Grabbz: 20% = Similar answer as with Gaax. Hard-working but maybe emotionally detached. After relatively successful 2024 with Nightshare, his results in 2025 and 2026 fell very short. Especially Winter 2025 was criminal because G2 looked at its weakest, KC had Targamas and we failed to deliver with Oscar-Razork-Humanoid-Upset-Mikyx roster. And it was only downhill from there.
