Fnatic parts ways with Alfajer
Fnatic has officially announced the departure of Emir "Alfajer" Beder. The Turkish player has been part of the organization since May 2022, serving as a key member of their VALORANT roster.
During his tenure, Alfajer achieved significant success, including a victory at VALORANT Masters Tokyo 2023 and runner-up finishes at VALORANT Champions 2025 and Esports World Cup 2025. His exit marks the fourth personnel change for Fnatic following the end of the VCT 2026 season. He joins Jake "Boaster" Howlett, Austin "crashies" Roberts, and head coach Andrey "Engh" Sholokhov, who have all departed the organization.
Currently, only two players remain in the Fnatic roster: Kajetan "kaajak" Haremski and Kirill "Cloud" Nekhozhin. The organization's final or updated lineup for the VCT 2026 season—in which Fnatic is one of eight partner teams—is expected to be revealed at Red Bull Home Ground 2026, scheduled for December 10–13.
