League of Legends: Fnatic replace star midlaner Caps with Slovenian rising star FNATICFnatic has taken another risk by appointing an unproven midlaner to replace Rasmus \u2018Caps\u2019 Winther for the 2019 League of Legends European Championships (LEC), with the acquisition of Tim \u2018Nemesis\u2019 Lipovsek. Nemesis is very much an upcoming star in esports and was part of the MAD Lions team which won LVP Superliga in 2018 twice, as well as the EU Masters 2018. As we have seen in the past, however, Fnatic are very much capable of making these risks pay dividends. Just take a look at how Fnatic\u2019s rookie top-laner Bwipo stood out as one of the best in his role as the team went to the World Championship final. With that in mind, the 19-year old Slovenian is now relishing his chance of improving with the Black and Orange. Having completed the move, Lipovsek said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to represent Fnatic now; it feels unreal knowing I\u2019ll be able to play for the Fnatic fans. Even before being announced, they\u2019ve shown me an incredible amount of support already! \u201cNow, I look forward to working with my new teammates who have shown huge success in the past years. I\u2019m confident I can perform to the highest standards that were set by my midlane predecessors.\u201d The incoming rising star will be stepping into some big shoes, though, replacing Rasmus \u2018Caps\u2019 Winther who decided to swap Fnatic for G2 Esports just under a week ago. He was undoubtedly one of the best midlaners in the world and has left to the biggest domestic rival \u2013 riling up the pressure on the young replacement to deliver. Read More: Fnatic have since denied financial causes for the loss of their star player Fnatic have faith in their ability to develop future stars and now Nemesis is going to be a big part of their team. Speaking about their new man, Fnatic League of Legends Team Director Joey \u2018YoungBuck\u2019 Steltenpool said: \u201cWe\u2019ve been following Nemesis for quite some time during his stay at Mad Lions and, from everything we\u2019ve seen and heard, he ticks all the boxes. \u201cBuilding up talent may take time and always comes with risk. But I believe Fnatic provides their players the perfect platform to become stars.\u201d Even with a great track record of improving their teams and developing talent, the pressure is certainly on for Fnatic to deliver in the upcoming season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
