From: http://fnatic.com/news/9959/fnatic-and-tod-part-ways.html

ToD will no longer represent the Black and Orange

FnaticRaidCall is sad to announce that Yoan "ToD" Merlo will be leaving our Starcraft 2 team. Though ToD has been with us for a long time, both sides felt like it was time to move on. Fnatic has helped ToD grow as a player in Starcraft 2 and both sides are amicable as they move in different directions.

ToD was a hero in Warcraft 3, and his transition to Starcraft 2 has seen many jerseys worn. He joined Fnatic in September and has represented the team in tournaments across the globe. Though ToD has spent some recent months training in the Fnatic Gaming House in Korea and has seen slightly improved results of late, the team and ToD felt that parting ways was in the best interest for both parties.


Statement from Yoan "ToD" Merlo:
Me and Fnatic have mutually agreed on parting ways, I will still keep playing Starcraft 2 and probably be teamless for a while, I plan on streaming often you can follow me on twitter or facebook if you want to know when I do.


Statement from Elroy "Noname" Pinto(General Manager of FnaticRC):
Today we part ways with our team Captain and French Protoss Yoan Merlo, the decision was mutual. Yoan began his journey in Fnatic little less than a year back and during his time the co-operation worked well, he helped us at a time when Fnatic was restructuring and he saw us through a difficult phase. I am sad to lose him but I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for the time spent and look forward to seeing his career unfold in the coming months. Best of luck, Yoan!

hope ToD gets on a good team, I want to see more of his games!
One of the reasons why I was happy Fnatic played in GSTL was to see ToD vs top koreans
hopefully this will become a good opportunity for him

It's weird how the best wc3 players (Tod, grubby, moon, infi) kind of failed to transfer their skills in sc2 meanwhile the average ones (naniwa, sase, thorzain, kas) are now some of the best foreigners.

Hm sad to say the least, but I guess Fnatic wanted results and he was not able to give them all that much

All the best nonetheless ToDonte & Fnatic!

Why do they keep spelling with capital letters to make it resemble some other pro players? like HerO and PartinG. Other than for shits and giggles i dont know why?

It's not like that on Fnatic's site, looks like some kind of autocorrect or TLPDizing by TL. There are more differences like this in the two versions.
