2018 → 2022 Australia FNATIC R6 era I am deeply grateful to all the players who have left a lot of memories, and to the players who are still active. Let's look back on FNATIC so far!
February 23rd: ORDER roster leaves org
After a number of players had announced their departure from the organization in prior weeks, ORDER has now announced the exit of all seven members of their R6S squad.
This comes following relegation from the APAC South League following a defeat to the Indonesian The Last Dance roster last month.
February 21st: JJ retires from competitive Siege, leaves former GUTS Gaming roster
The former GUTS Gaming roster's Takumi "JJ" Iwasaki has announced his retirement from competitive Rainbow Six Siege amidst speculation as to GUTS Gaming's future in APAC North.
The GUTS Gaming organization had announced a complete departure from the game last month and it is unclear if the former GUTS players will continue in APAC North for 2022.
February 14th: Lunarmetal retires from pro play
Invictus has lost three members this offseason, with the latest being team captain Glen "Lunarmetal" Suryasaputra, who has retired from competitive play.
February 13th: Invictus Gaming releases Jo
Jose "Jo" Iman revealed on Feb. 13 that he had been released by Invictus Gaming two weeks ago, ahead of the 2022 season. The news comes a day after Jordan "Jrdn" Cheng revealed that he, too, had been released by the team.
February 12th: Invictus Gaming releases Jrdn
Jordan "Jrdn" Cheng has been released by Invictus Gaming ahead of the 2022 season, and is now "open to any offers within APAC".
February 1st: Crapelle announces Fnatic departure
Fnatic Strategic Coach Laurent "Crapelle" Patriarche has announced his departure from the Australian team.
"Leaving Fnatic is a very hard decision to take for me, but working from Europe on an Asian time zone has put a strain on my health that I can not ignore anymore," said Crapelle in a Twitlonger.
The move comes after Fnatic dropped Tex Thompson and Riley "Stigs" Mills from its active roster on Oct. 26.
In the Twitlonger, Crapelle also stated that he is now looking to coach a top-flight or second-division team in EU instead.
January 30th: Chiefs ESC drops Fishoguy
Chiefs ESC have parted ways with support player Morgan "Player 547" Ishizaka. The move comes as somewhat of a surprise, given Chiefs' rising momentum that saw them qualify for the Sweden Major in 2021.
It is currently unclear who will be replacing him on the Chiefs ESC roster.
In the Chiefs' announcement video, Fishoguy stated that he is now a free agent and is looking for a new team.
January 21st: RechoTZ leaves SANDBOX Gaming
Just a few weeks before the team's appearance at the 2022 Six Invitational, SANDBOX's coach, Minjae "RechoTZ" Seo, has left the team.
RechoTZ had been on the team for two years and gave no explanation for the change. This means SBXG will attend the Six Invitational with no coaching staff.
January 6th: Knights' Dino retires, Hayward leaves
Australian team Knights has been dealt a significant blow to its 2022 chances after the retirement of Mark "Dino" Abboud and departure of Harper Hayward.
The moves leave Knights with just three players on the active roster and are seemingly why the team chose to forfeit its place in the Six Invitational 2022 APAC Closed Qualifier later this weekend.
In a Twitlonger, Dino stated that he was leaving competitive Rainbow Six to focus on starting his own business, taking over his family's business, and to improve on his lifestyle habits.
Knights had enjoyed a stellar 2021 in the APAC South Division, finishing second in Stage 1 and first in Stage 2, though had slipped to a disappointing eighth in Stage 3. Overall, their APAC South placement had been third, while it had been second in the Oceanic Nationals behind Chiefs ESC.
Disappointingly, Knights had to miss the Six Mexico Major due to the Australian travel restrictions then in place.
The Australians will now enter a rebuild stage before the 2022 season gets underway, and will seek to return to their early 2021 heights.
November 19th: QConfirm roster leaves organization
Two years after joining the organization, the QConfirm roster is now looking for new representation.
Since joining Qconfirm, the team won Season 11 of SEA's Pro League and finished the 2020 Season in seventh place out of APAC North's 12 teams. Most recently this year saw them finish each stage in fifth, third, and fifth place meaning the year ended with a 10-1-0-10 record in fifth overall, however, just one point shy of Chiefs in second-place.
Now as they look forward to the Six Invitational qualifiers, the QConfirm roster will likely be competing in the tournament under a new banner, with the replacement organization yet to be confirmed.
November 15th: SANDBOX Gaming coach OCN retires from competitive Siege
Just under a month after mantisFPS was signed by SANDBOX Gaming, and just four days after his team made it to the quarter-finals of the Six Sweden Major, OCN has announced his retirement.
SiegeGG was able to confirm the news with OCN himself after a one-word tweet the Korean released on Nov. 15. In his response, OCN also stated that he wants to "do what I want to do in the real world".
October 26th: Fnatic benches Stigs and Tex
"Tex" Thompson and Riley "Stigs" Mills have been benched by Fnatic after the end of a second successive disappointing season for the APAC North team.
Fnatic released the news on its Japanese Twitter account on Oct. 26, and stated that it will be "looking at new options for the starting line-up".
