The dispute between Fnatic and TSL that broke out recently finally comes to an end as Lee Seok "ALive" Han is now officially a part of the Fnatic roster. In addition, the foreign team has employed Sung Hwan "Hwanni" Kim as their Korean general manager.

The conflict between the two teams was ignited two weeks ago as TSL coach Lee accused Fnatic of stealing their terran player ALive. Both Lee and Fnatic manager Elroy Pint, as well as Alive himself, came out with statements regarding the incident and it was made clear that Alive was not in fact contracted by the foreign team at that moment.

After staying teamless for that period of time and playing his GSL Ro32 matches without a clan tag in his ID, it was announced that Fnatic and TSL have reached an amicable deal and ALive will now be a part of the foreign roster, effective today.

ALive Wrote:
I am glad that this issue has been resolved in a peaceful and positive way and I am looking to put this episode behind me. I will try to do my best to do well in my new environment, a proud member of FnaticRaidCall.


With Fnatic now housing two Koreans living in their homeland (Rain being the sole exception), the team has contracted long-time community figure and translator Sung Hwan "Hwanni" Kim to operate as their Korean General Manager.

Sam Mathews, Fnatic CEO Wrote:
We have long had an envious eye on the Korean market, with its expansive team structure, media, and fan base, it is by all accounts the test bed for eSports. In 2012 we made it our mission to make our orange and black mark on Korea. Hwanni joins us at the begining of that endevour, and we're excited to have him! He's well respected and we have known him for many years. He will oversee all our operations in KR. Welcome Hwanni!
