Fnatic welcomes new member to the roster ahead of VCT 2023

Fnatic successfully secured a slot in franchising along with some popular EMEA organizations, namely Navi, Vitality, KOI, and Giants. With the organization's reputed background, the team was on the lookout for strong talent.

On November 10, 2022, Fnatic announced their final roster for the upcoming VCT with the confirmation of Timofey "Chronicle" Khromov joining the team. The former M3 player also made his mark while playing for Gambit Esports in 2021. Chronicle usually switches between Agents like Chamber and Raze, but has also been seen playing as Jett.

Fnatic's active roster rests with the following players:

• Jake "Boaster" Howlett (IGL)
• Nikita "Derke" Sirmitev
• Emir "Alfajer" Ali Beder
• Leo "Leo" Jannesson
• Timofey "Chronicle" Khromov
• Jacom "mini" Harris (Coach)

On October 16, Fnatic signed Leo from Guild Esports, a fine addition to the team ahead of the upcoming VCT. With five strong players, the team is in great shape to start out next year. The roster already houses players like Alfajer, who is known to be an absolute powerhouse.

Their combined performances could lead the EMEA team to victory as the squad has the upset potential to win it all. The Partnership Program is going the play a major role in the Valorant professional scene for the next five years. Aside from getting selected for franchising, teams have to make sure they have the best of the players on the roster.

With that being said, it can be assumed that Fnatic's current lineup will be a recipe for victories. The EMEA organization was one of the few teams to announce the confirmed roster way late. Other popular teams from the same region have confirmed their final roster, with NAVI adding cNed to their group.
