Martin “Wunder” Hansen was benched by Fnatic ahead of the 2023 LEC Spring Split, and the top laner revealed some details behind the decision.

The Dane was watching the LEC games on March 20 live alongside IWillDominate, and talked about Fnatic’s decision during the broadcast. On the stream, he admitted that he thought the new team that Fnatic was trialing for the 2023 LEC Spring Split was worse than the previous one, therefore he decided not to play in the Spring Split.

“Fnatic wanted to hold trials [after the 2023 LEC Winter Split], but this rumored trialed roster was not a team that I had much hope in,” Wunder said. “So I said that it doesn’t make much sense to trial for a team that you don’t really want to play for, […] no one joins trials for a team you don’t actually want to play for.”

The Dane explained that Fnatic “wanted to trial Oscarinin, and I didn’t actually want to trial, so they just went with Oscar.” As a result, Fnatic’s starting top laner in the 2023 LEC Spring Split is currently Óscar “Oscarinin” Muñoz Jiménez. The other change they made ahead of Spring was bringing in Henk “Advienne” Reijenga for the support role.

In the 2023 LEC Winter Season, Fnatic finished ninth and didn’t qualify for the 2023 LEC Winter Groups. So far in the 2023 LEC Spring Season, they are slowly bouncing back. Currently, they sit on a 2-4 score after losing the first four games.
