Fnatic has officially unveiled an exciting addition to its League of Legends team for the 2026 season, welcoming Greek mid laner Vladimiros ‘Vladi’ Kourtidis. This marks a significant step as Fnatic finalizes its roster ahead of the inaugural LEC Versus competition. Fans are eager to see how Vladi’s past successes will contribute to his new team’s performance.
New Faces in Fnatic’s Lineup
Vladi joins Fnatic following a successful stint with Karmine Corp, where he clinched the LEC 2025 Winter split title and secured a commendable second place at the 2025 First Stand Tournament. His addition to the team sees him reunite with another Greek player, Pangaiotis ‘Empyros’ Tantis. The duo previously played together for Riddle Esports in 2022, and their renewed partnership is poised to strengthen Fnatic’s position as a formidable force in European esports.
Fnatic has finalized its LEC roster by bringing in Vladi, completing a strategic rebuild after a challenging 2025 season. Despite strong performances in the LEC splits last year, the team faced disappointment at the World Championship, exiting without a single match win.
Reinforcing for a Competitive Edge
The complete lineup now features Vladi, Empyros, Elias ‘Upset’ Lipp, Iván Martín ‘Razork’ Díaz, and Óscar ‘Oscarinin’ Muñoz Jiménez. This blend of seasoned talent aims to elevate Fnatic’s standing after a mixed previous season. The team will take to the stage against Los Ratones on January 17th as part of the LEC Versus, with the ultimate goal of qualifying for the prestigious 2026 First Stand Tournament, signaling a fresh start and renewed aspirations.
Fnatic’s strategic decisions in signing key players like Vladi reflect a commitment to reestablishing its dominance on the international stage. As the new season approaches, anticipation builds over how these roster changes will translate into competitive success.
