Riot GamesBwipo and Fnatic reportedly parting ways
Bwipo will be looking to move back into the top lane for the 2022 season. The top laner turned jungler made the transition for the LEC Summer 2021 split and led the team on an improbable run to the finals.
Reportedly many teams across the world are interested in signing the multi-role superstar. Dot reports that North America’s Team Liquid could be one to shoot an offer at him if current top laner Barney ‘Alphari’ Morris joins another team.

It was a rough Worlds 2021 for the European org. Things got shaky early as FNC announced starting ADC Elias ‘Upset’ Lipp would be missing Worlds due to a family emergency.
This led to some social media drama between Bwipo and Fnatic management. However, it remains unclear what led to his decision to now renew his contract. At the time of writing this, Fnatic has not released an official statement.
