On the homepage, Fnatic's Valorant team has officially announced the temporary suspension of Braveaf after he made actions to support the war. According to Dot eSportsthe message between Braveaf and a friend leaked, and the Russian revenge had to receive a proper penalty. Immediately, Braveaf also spoke out.
On his personal page, he thought that he was always on the side of peace and the content of the message mentioned above was Braveaf talking to his friend living in Ukraine, and just wanted to ask if his friend was okay. Masters 1 Reykjavik will officially start on April 10 and Fnatic has not closed the plan to replace the position of Braveeaf.
Masters 1 Reykjavik is the first international tournament in 2022 with the presence of the top 12 teams in the world. Fnatic is one of the three representatives of the EMEA area to attend next to G2 Esports and Team Liquid. However, due to the unstable political situation in Eastern Europe in particular and the West in general, Emea has suffered many disadvantages.
Earlier, the Russian -based team, Gambit Esports, was forced to rename M3 Champions to be eligible to continue playing in the VCT 2022 EMEA STAGE 1 Challengers. At the end of the Play-off phase, Funplus Phoenix is the team winning the championship. In theory, this team will be Emea's No. 1 seed and go straight to the play-off Masters 1 Reykjavik.
However, compared to many Russian players in the squad, Funplus Phoenix cannot fly to Iceland to attend the tournament. Finally, Team Liquid was chosen to replace and G2 Esports became Emea's No. 1 seed. Meanwhile, after suspending Braveaf, the Fnatic squad left 4 members including Boaster, Magnum, Derke and MISTIC.
