As per reading the official tweet of Fnatic. They are just temporarily exit on Dota2. I understand this because they are competing Dota Pro scene for a long time without achieving significant title such is TI and Major tournament. Their current roster is already very weak based on their recent performance on BTS. They are already burning too much resources on their team and continuing this will surely just waste money since their current roster is weak.
It’s sad but maybe it’s really time for them to rest so that SEA team will be more competitive with less team.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking that this is just temporary and they'll go back when the qualifiers for TI is come. But looking at their situation now, it is not only their roster in Dota 2 is going to an end.
Well, we can conclude that their roster is weak since they've been sent to division 2.
After Fnatic make changes with their player they are not quite as strong as before even though they have Gabbi for the core with armel and good imitation with DJ I guess still there's something missing with their line up its seems like the fnatic from the old team before and seems like a version 2 for the TNC.
Well, what I am seeing is that many are making fun of Gabbi that whenever team he goes, that team is in danger. Poor Gabbi, still can't find a good team but I think this roster will continue even without the Fnatic's org support.
Some org might just adopt the roster.
Tough times for Fnatic org as it seems they cannot find success in many competitions not just only Dota2. However , they've been in the same situation in 2017 , right ? but I don''t remember if they disbanded or not but I not for sure they missed from Dota 2 scene for a while. In CS:Go is the same thing as they were eliminated by Complexity but they're lucky they have talented fresh players in their academy ready to fill big roles at least for CS:GO.
I don't think they will be back for TI this year and most likely they will take a break at least 1 year and focus on CS:GO academy.
On 2017, I think the format of DPC is still different unlike today that there's division 1 and division 2 and there's a need to qualify and maintain the position from both divisions.
It's possible that they won't be back for TI and might just go hand on hand with CSGO if they're being successful there.
From a business standpoint, I guess Fnatic just did the correct thing to do. There aren't a lot of sponsors and brand deals in there, and most importantly, if their name isn't really popping in the Dota scene, there's not a lot of interest in their organization at all. If they're also handling other teams under another esport title, freeing up their resources on their Dota roster that is not performing well also helps them survive. Obviously not the only thing that they could have done, but they also need to thrive as an organization.
They fell short with dota 2 and them being on the division 2 will surely push sponsors away. Unlike those teams that are in division 1, they're attracting more brands as the viewerships there are a lot unlike in division 2 teams and tournaments that they can participate.
