Adrian 'Era' Kryeziu has left Fnatic after an eventful two year stint with the Fnatic squad. His replacement has not been announced as of yet.
Era has been one of the longest-serving players in Dota 2, having joined Fnatic in February 2012 and playing for them first in Heroes of Newerth and then Dota 2. With hundreds of competitive games to his name, he has finally parted ways with his long-time organisation to seek greener pastures elsewhere.
Era's departure from Fnatic comes as no huge surprise to most fans after the drama surrounding his availability to play onTI4, which saw a flurry of communications between Era, Fnatic and Valve that was made public through Reddit and the Dota Blog. At the same time, it also caused problems for the rest of the Fnatic Dota 2 squad. They had been training with their stand-in, Xcalibur, for quite some time, and had attended both The Summit and ESL One, two LAN tournaments with him. It appears inevitable that changes would have to be made for the European squad after failing to make it into even the top 10 at The International 2014.
Era's statement:
It's been a long and awesome run with the guys, but unfortunately everything comes to an end sooner or later. I'm leaving Fnatic in order to see what else there is out there, hopefully I'll be continuing in the same track at least, but who knows what will happen! Thanks to the rest of the team and our fans after all these years, I'll see you all around!
Current Fnatic Roster:
Kai 'H4nn1' Hansbueckers
Kalle 'Trixi' Saarinen
Johan 'BigDaddy' Sundstein
