What team could pick up either Leo or Hiro next year and become contenders???
What are you guys even discussing? xD
There is no discussion. Leo won't be replaced, Fnatic already made that very clear. Why should they replace their best player? Makes no sense. Just look at the seasonal stats - Leo was even better than hiro. Much crazier.
No dilemma, since there is no discussion. When Leo comes back, he is back. Facts.
zellsis also wasnt supposed to replace pancada and (at least at the time if you want to argue) pancada is easily the better player overall.
the point being its not about which player is better, but about which player gels with the team more; and whilst it may be hard to tell from the outside, it is a complete possibility the team prefers hiro, but its impossible to tell
It's a fact that Leo won't be replaced if he wants to come back. FNCs manager made that clear.

Leo is Fnatics 2nd caller and is basically named as their future IGL when everything goes normal.
We all don't know IF Leo comes back for sure. If his mental and physical health doesn't allow it, they will for sure keep hiro - makes no sense to search for another player then, that's why they gave him a contract for the rest of the season.
It's just that there is no real dilemma. If Leo comes back because he's fit again, hiro will join another team. If Leo will retire because of his health issues or make a long break, hiro will stay. It's super simple.
