After Manuel 'Lamia' Mildenberger’s retirement last summer fnatic took their time to find the perfect 5th member for the team. It looked as they did that when they started playing with Martin 'Rekkles' Larsson but unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be. The young Swede can’t compete in Riot’s Championship Series due to the age restrictions, so Fnatic were forced on the lookout for a new member once again.

Now after weeks of speculation who they would pick up the big “secret” has finally been revealed and it turned out that the aAa invasion in Fnatic continues! In 2012 the team picked up first Paul 'sOAZ' Boyer as their new top laner and then Christoph 'nRated' Seitz as their support, both formerly of aAa, and the trend is still on in 2013 with the addition of Bora 'YellOwStaR' Kim.

During the last two years the French player has been a part of against All authority , Millenium and most recently SK Gaming until after the Season 2 Finals. His most notable moment is definitely his spot-on Ashe arrow from all across the map in the Season 1 Championship finals where he was playing against no other than Fnatic themselves. He’s also famous for being a part of one of the strongest bot lane combos together with nRated. Their Corki+Leona was feared all around Europe back in their aAa days and it will be interesting to see if they still have the same synergy.
