Fnatic Restructures Rainbow Six: Siege Roster, Parting Ways with IGL Leon Giddens
Dec-06-2024
After a period of competing in the Asian scene for Rainbow Six: Siege, the British organization Fnatic has decided to transition back to Europe for 2024, forming a team that included Leon Giddens as the in-game leader. Fnatic's return to the European circuit has seen mixed results, with the team struggling to make a significant impact; their highest finish being sixth place in the first stage of the Europe League. This lack of success is likely contributing to the recent changes in the roster.
Fnatic has announced that it will be parting ways with Leon Giddens, a decision that follows their earlier move to let go of Juhani Toivonen in mid-November. The organization expressed appreciation for Leon's contributions through a statement on their social media platform, emphasizing his role as the IGL since their move to Europe and acknowledging his leadership, commitment, and showmanship inside and outside of the game.
The future remains uncertain for both Leon Giddens and the remaining roster of Fnatic's Rainbow Six squad. Currently, the team retains three active members in its lineup, and developments are awaited regarding forthcoming changes and potential opportunities for Leon in the esports world.
