The iconic Swedes from Fnatic will no longer hold a fully Swedish roster, as the organization has brought in the two British players in Alex “ALEX” McMeekin and William “mezii” Merriman. The former Cloud9 duo will inherit the spots from Jesper “JW” Wecksell and Maikil “Golden” Selim, who were recently benched.
The start of something new.

The new in-game leader, ALEX explains in a statement that he’s excited to have been “given the chance to help rebuild Fnatic into a title-winning team again.
– I am honoured to be given the opportunity to represent such a legendary team. I have nothing but respect for the legacy the past teams have created here and I know that there are big shoes to fill. I am looking forward to working alongside the Fnatic to develop the team’s performance both on and off the server.
To say that I’m excited would be an understatement. Being given the chance to help rebuild Fnatic into a title-winning team again is a big challenge but a fun one that I will take on with enthusiasm,
ALEX explains in a statement.
