Today, it is with great sadness that we announce that Luis “Deilor” Sevilla is stepping down as our League of Legends Head Coach. Luis has been with Fnatic for almost 2 full seasons now, propelling the team to never seen before heights by guiding them through an undefeated 18-0 split as the first LCS team in history as well as reaching the Semi Finals at Worlds last year. Unfortunately, with highs often come lows and rebuilding our lineup for the second time this year proved to be more challenging than expected. Because of recent results and in order to give the team the best chance moving forward, Luis and the Fnatic management team mutually agreed that him stepping down is the correct course of action. While the timing of this decision might seem odd at first, we agreed that it was important to give the team a fresh start under a new coach as soon as possible.
We want to thank Deilor for all the passion, hard work and dedication he brought to Fnatic. We hope to be working with him again on other projects in the near future as there is no denying what he has achieved in just two years:
- 2015 EU LCS Spring Split Champions
- 2015 Mid Season Invitational Semifinalists
- 2015 EU LCS Summer Split Champions
- 2015 Summer Split Award for Best Coach
- 2015 World Championship Semifinalists
- 2015 IEM Cologne Semifinalist
- 2016 IEM World Championship Katowice Finalists
- 2016 EU LCS Spring Split Semifinalists
Thank you, Luis! Thank you, Deilor!

Statement by Patrik "cArn" Sättermon, Chief Gaming Officer
During a moment like this it’s impossible for me to not recall the hardship we had going into the 2015 season. Challenged by numerous of departures of players and our coaching staff, we had to rebuild our League of Legends team from the bottom up while meanwhile going into the most competitive season in the history. It was somewhere in the process of exploring our options that we came across Luis’ application for the Head Coach position, and after having a couple of promising conversations with him, we took the unorthodox decision to offer him the position despite lacking experience from the pro circuit. It didn’t take many weeks until we realised the true potential of our new coach, and the performance and consistency we showed in 2015 is unmatched in Western League of Legends.
Fast-forwarding until today it’s fair to conclude that we haven’t had the strongest run in 2016, and despite the changes we have made throughout the year, we have now reached a crossroad where we collectively have decided that the best way forward for our team is to transfer the Head Coach position to NicoThePico, who earlier this Summer Split joined our coaching staff in Berlin.
Whereas it’s naturally sad to put a closure to the "Era of Deilor”, I can’t stop feeling excitement for what’s next to come from Luis and I’m certain that we as an organisation will have many interesting opportunities to work with Luis, and whenever we have more information about this we will do further announcements.
On behalf of our management, our players, and fans, I would like to sincerely thank Luis for his immense contribution, dedication and performance over the past two years, and at the same time we would like to wish him the biggest GLHF for his future career.

As we say farewell to Deilor, we’ll be looking at Nico “NicoThePico” Korsgård to take over the head coaching duties at Fnatic. Nico was formerly known as Origen’s Head Coach and has already been working closely with the Fnatic squad for the past three weeks since he joined as Assistant-Coach. Based on his history and our first hand experience working with him, we are confident that Nico has what it takes to help Fnatic reach their best possible form going into Playoffs.

在传统体育中有过开除教练获得一个很短期的提高,自带shock factor的例子,虽然教练不是主要原因,大概可以短期给队伍续一命
