IefNaij, as he was, and is prioritising studying over Starcraft 2 (as he should), and thus will be very inactive. They have also released their dedicated Spanish 2v2 team of IeZael and eXeCuToR. The latter will be retiring, while the former will be seeking a new partner for 2v2.Seems like teams have given up completely on competitive 2v2, especially since only the EG Masters Cup seems to have implemented it (I stand to be corrected).
Today we would like to announce the departure of IefNaij and our 2v2 Squad with immediate effect.
Jian Fei "IefNaij" Wang has been with us since August 2010, and joined as one of the top Canadian Brood War players. He has made two appearances at MLG competitions under the Fnatic name, placing outside the top 50 on both occasions. However he has been very inactive and busy with his studies, putting his StarCraft II progression on the backburner.
As for our Spanish 2v2 Squad, they have not been able to put their skills into action at offline events, but have competed in numerous Clan Wars.
Our General manager Elroy Pinto gave the following statement:
Today we part ways with IefNaij, IeZaeL & Roberto. These 3 while not in the spotlight all the time have been great support players for our StarCraft 2 team. It saddens me to let them go but unfortunately with IefNaij and Roberto going inactive we have to let them go. IeZaeL has been a great person to have on the team as well, he's always very enthusiastic and I wish him the best in finding an active 2v2 partner and continuing his appearences in tournaments. I hope some day IefNaij comes back from inactivity and if he does it would be with Fnatic, he displayed some amazing skills at the few events he could attend. Good luck to all 3 of them and please stay tuned to further updates from FnaticRaidCall for 2012.
The Spanish duo said a few words about their time in Fnatic:
Grettings, Today I let to be a part of one of the best teams of StarCraft 2 at this time out of Korea. The team and I are going in different directions, and they plan to participate primarily on 1v1 Leagues, meanwhile I want play on 2v2 doing my best. I am able to leave with the wins against Mouz and EG in the 2v2 and as my best moments here, which helped to get the third place in the Evil Geniuses Master's Cup Series VI.
Nothing more to add, thanks to 'Xeris' for looking at us and the kind welcome of 'Elroy'. I hope to return someday to this awesome team.
Both sets of players depart on very good terms, and we thank them for their time within Fnatic, and we wish them the very best of luck for what they choose to do in the future.
This leaves us with four StarCraft II professionals plus our Korean Academy, who will be flying the Black and Orange flag all over the world this year.
