Fnatic Announce Nemesis As Their New Mid Laner

Fnatic has revealed the missing piece of their 2019 LEC squad, with mid laner Tim “Nemesis” Lipovšek joining from LVP SuperLiga team MAD Lions. Considered the best player on an already excellent amateur line-up, Nemesis has already proven himself in several tournaments this year, winning the EU Masters in September after barely failing to claim it all back in April.

“Fnatic has historically always been the most successful European team and I count myself lucky that the opportunity to join arose as I enter my first competitive split.” Nemesis said in Fnatic’s announcement. “I see playing in an already such established roster as an incredible privilege, but I’m mindful that I must be quick to adapt and not fall behind this team.”

Nemesis does have some big shoes to fill as he takes the place of Rasmus “Caps” Winther, who left Fnatic to join rival organization G2 Esports, however the organization is confident they can mold him into the player they need to once again dominate the LEC.

“Fnatic famously has a long history of building up legendary European midlaners and we truly believe that we have found yet another great prodigy in Nemesis,” wrote Fnatic League of Legends Team Director, Joey “YoungBuck” Steltenpool. “We’ve been following Nemesis for quite some time during his stay at Mad Lions and, from everything we’ve seen and heard, he ticks all the boxes. We have heard nothing but the highest praise of his mindset, work ethic and it’s become clear he has a very broad champion pool. Building up talent may take time and always comes with risk. But I believe Fnatic provides their players the perfect platform to become stars: we have the most tools and the friendliest, hardest-working teammates that Europe has to offer. We look forward to showing exactly that once again in the upcoming season!”
