FNATIC make additions to roster ahead of VCT 2023 season

London based esports organization FNATIC have made slight changes to their roster for the upcoming 2023 VCT season by adding sixth man/substitute player Maks "kamyk" Rychlewski and Assistant Coach Aleksey "slk" Lynksov.

Polish player kamyk is one of the best up and coming players in Europe right now, previously having played for UCAM Tokiers, Rebels Gaming, and Anonymo Esports. At the age of only nineteen, this is a good move for FNATIC as kamyk can step in whenever needed and this will be a great learning experience for him as well.

The new Assistant Coach for the team will be slk. The Russian coach has a long successful history in Valorant, previously coaching for CIS teams such as ROX TEAM, CrowCrowd, and Team Singularity. Most recently, the 28-year-old was the Head Coach for KPI Gaming. He helped them secure a spot in the Spanish VCL by beating Real Betis last year in the promotion tournament. Additionally, slk joined FNATIC back in August of last year to help assist them from an analyst position during their Champions run, and now he is joining them full time as their Assistant Coach.

The full FNATIC roster now is:
Jake "Boaster" Howlett
Nikita "Derke" Sirmitev
Emir "Alfajer" Beder
Leo "Leo" Jannesson
Timofey "Chronicle" Khromov
Maks "kamyk" Rychlewski (Sixth man/substitute)
Jacob "mini" Harris (Head Coach)
Aleksey "slk" Lynksov (Assistant Coach)

The next time FNATIC will be playing will be in February during the VCT 2023 LOCK//IN tournament in São Paulo, Brazil.
