Fnatic revealed their new position five player in a Facebook post on their Dota team's page. Filipino Nico 'Eyyou' Barcelon joins the team. He most recently played for TNC Predator until September last year and has not been playing in official tournaments since The International 2019.

eyyou is no stranger to the organisation as he was already part of Fnatic back in 2016. The support player not only counts as skilled support, he also took over the captain role which is one reason why Fnatic chose him, as they explained in their Facebook post:

Looking back at our ESL Thailand run, we realized that there is a severe lack in commanding without Daryl Koh 'iceiceice' Pei Xiang who was on break during the tournament.


The team tested different players in the leadership role but eventually decided to make some roster changes in preparation for the resuming DPC next year.
