It is always sad to see a member of the Fnatic family leave and it is no different with Viktor 'Miniraser' Malmberg. The young Swedish Zerg joined us in March 2013 and has been a pleasure to work with. It has been fun to watch as he battled through plenty of tournaments and made a name for himself in the international StarCraft 2 scene.
Viktor was a very solid player for us, especially in events like TeamStory Cup, where he secured some convincing wins for Fnatic. His most impressive showing was in Season 3 of the European WCS, he made it to the Round of 16 taking down some big names along the way.
It has been an exciting journey for both of us and we would like to thank Viktor for all the hard work and fun that we have shared with him since he joined. We wish him all the best for the future and hope he continues to improve and develop in his StarCraft 2 career!

Hello everybody, today I am leaving Fnatic. It was a nice run, but at some point it had to end. I made lots of nice friends and we will stay together even though they are no longer my Teammates. A final thank you to Fnatic and farewell. I won't be retiring, so you will hear from me soon boys!
Lukas Breitweiser, Starcraft 2 Manager
Today we are sad to announce that Miniraser will be departing Fnatic. Since joining he has been a great friend to every one in the Fnatic organisation. That won't change now that he's leaving. We wish him the best for the future and we can't wait to see him continue on in his StarCraft 2 career!

I fucking love that celebration! #passion
|
Fnatic will shut down it seems.
|
Huh, that's unfortunate. I hope he finds a new team, he has a lot of potential I think.
|
Only the sc2 and dota 2 i think will go out
|
It does seem like Fnatic is slowly but surely retreating from SC2

their league team has a lot of internal drama as well, with their star player very publicly turning against them and saying how he wants out, his teammates suck and nobody takes the game seriously
he had allegedly a buyout sum on his contract of 150k and allegedly is attending a tournament (IEM Sao Paolo) with another team, so if all that is true fnc SHOULD have the money to do whatever the fuck they want right now

It certainly seems they're EG-ing right now, aren't they?

Best of luck to Miniraser and whatever team he joins in the future! Never really followed this guy until recently when I heard him cast at HSC X, super funny guy, really brought a lot of life to whatever casting team he was part of

I don't think he said that.

Yeah especially considering 8 players have left this year they haven't signed anyone and now just have Harstem on their roster.

Interesting. He has so much potential, don't see why they would let him go. First Neeb, and now Miniraser.
Fnatic SC2 disintegrating...?  GL to Miniraser in the future. Hopefully someone will pick him up.

I hope Miniraser can now pursue his dream of becoming an EPS champion

He basically said it.
But ye, it seems that Fnatic are just lacking funds to keep their historied League roster alive + soon-to-be historied pronax and crew.
Miniraiser can't have troubles with getting team, right, lol?
Like, top-3 foreign Zerg isn't something you should ignore with new WCS rules.
Top-5, boys and girls, okay, don't fire me.

Called it.
Sad to see Fnatic leaving the scene though. After Empire, it's another very important EU team to retreat from SC2. Hopefully we will see new (legit) teams rise to replace them, along with Cascade for example.

Top 3 foreigner Zerg? I like Miniraiser, but isn't that a bit of a stretch? I mean just take Snute, Scarlett, Sen and VortiX and you already have an easily established top 4 which doesn't include him

I like miniraser and I think he'll hit it big, but top 3 foreigner zerg? Right now? No way.

ROOTmini?

I'm guessing he's looking for a team that will let him play in the EPS.
|
Best of luck, he improved a lot, a good Premier eu Zerg
|
at least their cz team is still going strong
|
who?
lol jk!
Good luck Miniraser!
Seems like Fnatic is moving away from SC2. Who else is on Fnatic for SC2?

Harstem.

Does this mean Harstem gona leave soon aswell?
|
is fnatic's sc2 division going to get more players? all they have is harstem left and neeb left more than a month ago...
|
I guess he wants to join mousesports, so he can train with the legend and six time EPS champ Hasuobs!

$15k**
And they would have to spend quite a bit of money to replace Rekkles, and possibly Yellowstar and xPeke, so they wouldn't have much left after that. LCS teams cost money. They do seem to be withdrawing slowly from Sc2 though - no signings in forever.

miniraser to team it up with the mighty Kaner? mYiniraser
I hope so atleast. Those two together...... oh yeah baby!

You already have a ROOTmini in Chad Jones. There ain't no room for two minis.

I hope he finds a new team quickly. Hopefully he'll start streaming on twitch again, no one other than me and 2 other guys would show up on the azubu stream.

he did state he'll stream on twitch already

as a swedish-american living in sweden i can confidently say that miniraiser has an exceptional sense of humor for a swede (and also very clear spoken english). He could easily pull a tod and have a successful casting career on the side.

i cant really talk about league but i'm pretty intune with the dota scene. I know Fnatic still has H4nn1 and Trixi, and 4ASC has been performing well; its possible Fnatic may absorb the 4ASC team aka fin stack. But yea i feel the big focus is on there CS:GO team (from which i gather is performing amazing Stats Here) Dota 2 (just because of the huge prize pools and strong fan base), and league, which i wont comment on.
im hoping a team like fnatic will put a strong presence back in starcraft 2. They always seem to pull/find some of the more entertaining players.

Just because DailyDot wrote that doesn't mean its true. The general reaction on twitter from other LCS players was "LOL 15k, add a zero more and youre in the right ballpark".
