Fnatic potentially looking to buy out Humanoid from MAD Lions

The League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) continues to experience significant roster transformations during the current offseason period. Teams are strategically repositioning themselves for competitive advantage in the upcoming season.

Recent developments indicate a major strategic shift, with Fnatic actively pursuing a buyout agreement for MAD Lions’ accomplished mid laner Marek “Humanoid” Brázda. Should this transaction proceed successfully, Humanoid would transition to the historic Fnatic organization following his impactful two-year tenure with MAD Lions, during which he secured two LEC championship titles in 2021. Humanoid has demonstrated remarkable growth as a mid lane specialist throughout recent competitive cycles, positioning him to potentially continue this upward trajectory within Fnatic’s system for the 2022 competitive season.

These roster movement speculations originated from Esportmaniacos and the verified Twitter account LEC Wooloo, both maintaining strong accuracy records in previous offseason reporting cycles. Humanoid would be filling the mid lane position currently occupied by Yasin “Nisqy” Dinçer within Fnatic’s lineup. Nisqy competed with the organization throughout the entire season but was unable to guide the team to championship contention. Current reports suggest Nisqy is positioned to return to Cloud9 for the forthcoming competitive season.

Who will replace Humanoid on MAD Lions?

Regarding the crucial question of Humanoid’s potential successor, emerging reports indicate MAD Lions is evaluating another promising young talent for developmental investment in the coming competitive year. The organization has identified BIG mid laner Steven “RKR” Chen as their primary target, recognizing his instrumental role in the team’s dominance within Germany’s Prime League competitive circuit.

RKR and his BIG organization achieved championship victories in both Prime League seasonal splits during the current competitive cycle, while also delivering impressive performances at the two European Masters tournaments this year. RKR represents precisely the type of emerging talent that aligns with MAD Lions’ organizational philosophy of cultivating young players through strategic development pathways, mirroring their successful approach with Humanoid and other roster acquisitions in previous seasons.

Assuming all contractual and logistical elements align appropriately, industry expectations point toward these roster changes becoming officially confirmed starting November 15, coinciding with the commencement of the formal free agency window. Until that official designation, all reported movements remain speculative and subject to potential modification based on evolving negotiations and organizational decisions.
