kaajak's buyer, Fnatic, was looking for a roster shakeup after they had grown stagnant in 2024 and were unable to replicate their previous success.

While they rebounded to make it to Masters Shanghai, two straight losses would eliminate them immediately. The addition of hiro would breathe some new life into the roster, but they would ultimately fall in the top six of Champions.
