Fnatic removed two players after an unsuccessful Stage 1 campaign, but kept doma.

Probably because he was just lacking fire power in the last months when playing support roles

I feel like Fnatic are a big and serious enough org to not look at a small sample size before making judgement. Doma's time will come he is still young

While Fnatic was insane on lan they did not carry the same performance on online. I haven't looked into EMEA format for 2022 but im assuming that challengers will still be online. So maybe they are revamping their roster to have a better "online" team or maybe they thought they hit the ceiling with this roster. Very sad to see otherwise.

I don't know if I am reading to much into this but the same time doma's move was announced yinsu posted something about "what do you need from your teammates or something". So I guess toxicity in team or they not getting along
But this could just be a coincidence.

She clarified that tweet had absolutely nothing to do with the fnatic team or doma.

I think it's more of a team comp case I think... Doma shines while playing support agents almost like a duelist (KAY/O, Skye or even a battle Sage)... With that playstyle Fnatic lacks a proper initiator to set the up for a site entry on attack for example, or puts them in a spot where he needs another player with him on defense at all times...

They might have dropped him so they can play in the regional leagues, where they need to fulfill the 3/5 rule. Big Teams tend to get such information earlier. Mistic will probably be dropped too (Boaster is IGL, good IGLs are lacking) and the team will be filled with britboys

The Regional Leagues are for tier 3 teams who want to make a name for themselves and fight for a spot in VCT 2022. All 4 EMEA teams from Champions have already qualified for the VCT Stage 1 in 2022. And also if this 3/5 rule is true they had Boaster, Mistic and Derke. UK, Ireland and the Nordics (Derke) form the regional league.
