Fnatic has confirmed that Marek ‘Humanoid’ Brázda is leaving its League of Legends roster, closing the chapter on a three-year run that has been filled with highs, regrets, and plenty of unforgettable moments.
After 3 years of absolute cinema, today we say farewell to @Humanoidlol

The Czech mid-laner joined Fnatic at the start of 2022 after winning two LEC titles with MAD Lions, quickly becoming the backbone of the organisation’s strategy. During his time with the team, Humanoid never missed a World Championship, repeatedly helping Fnatic push deep into the LEC playoffs, even as they struggled to bring home a domestic trophy.
That consistency is why fans and teammates alike are calling his time with Fnatic “absolute cinema”.
Benched in July
Humanoid’s departure had been on the cards since July 2025, when Fnatic brought in Korean prospect Sungwon ‘Poby’ Yun as their starting mid-laner for the LEC Summer Split. While Humanoid remained under contract until November 17, he was effectively sidelined for the remainder of the season.
The change came after head coach Fabian “Grabbz” Lohmann publicly admitted that the team wasn’t working hard enough in scrims and that roster moves were possible. Some speculated that Humanoid’s motivation was in question, though Fnatic’s owner and CEO Sam Mathews firmly denied that.
Marek, you’ve been an incredible player from the very begining, I know how much you tried, and how much you put into this organisation.
I’m also super sad we didnt manage to win with you, but I know how much you put in, every single day.
Thank you for the absolute cinema,…

Legacy and Achievements
Despite leaving without silverware, Humanoid’s legacy is hard to ignore. He regularly ranked among the best mid-laners in the league, leading in key stats such as damage and gold share, and he surpassed 1,000 career LEC kills during his time at Fnatic.
What’s Next for Humanoid?
For now, Humanoid is taking a step back from the competitive grind. In a message to fans, he confirmed he plans to focus on streaming through the rest of 2025 once he’s settled into a new apartment.
It’s still unclear whether he’ll look for another team in the LEC, explore opportunities overseas, or take a longer break from professional play. Regardless, his absence will be felt. For the first time in seven years, Humanoid won’t be heading to the League of Legends World Championships.
Fnatic’s Path to Worlds
Meanwhile, Fnatic faces their own challenge. The organisation has qualified for eight straight Worlds, and only missed the event twice in its history. But with competition fierce at the top of the LEC this split, that streak could be in jeopardy.
The team is set to clash with Spring champions Movistar KOI. If they manage to pull off the win, Fnatic will secure a spot at Worlds once again.
As for Humanoid, his future remains one of the biggest questions of the off-season. After three years of memorable plays and moments in black and orange, fans will be watching closely to see where his story goes next.
