After standing out at T1 Esports Academy, Yoon โ€˜Pobyโ€™ Sung-won is making a major move ahead of the LEC Summer Split 2025. He is joining the European side Fnatic as their latest import. He replaced Marek โ€˜Humanoidโ€™ Brรกda, who is now on the teamโ€™s inactive roster. 

Fnatic enters the Summer Split with low expectations after they struggled during the Spring Split. During that time, they placed fourth and could not reach the Mid-Season Invitational. With Poby joining, this could be the boost they need to return to being Europeโ€™s best.

Fnatic feels Poby perfectly matches their goals

Poby is not lacking in confidence, which is a good sign for a mid laner. The position needs players to be bold and confident, so Fnatic will have a risk-taker from the mid-lane. Fnaticโ€™s head coach Fabian โ€˜GrabbZโ€™ Lohmann is pleased to see Poby fitting in well with the rest of the team. 

GrabbZ said, โ€˜The first thing that stood out of Poby was his enthusiasm. Someone who can really brighten the mood of the team, and I think heโ€™s someone who can also lead his team.โ€™
