Siru joins Fnatic Japan

The leadership of the Fnatic esports organization made an announcement on the club's Twitter account regarding the changes made to the roster. Siru became a newcomer to the team, information about which, to put it mildly, is not in abundance. Fnatic Japan now has six players, including former Etienne 'Mag' Rosse, Ryu 'Chibisu' Hamashita, Hikaru 'Li9ht' Osawa, Kazuki 'Lily' Yamane and Naoki 'Yura' Takamoto. Etienne 'Mag' Rosset left the starting roster as he is the only non-Japanese, and it's easier for esports players to communicate in their native Japanese than international English in the game. Such a roster has already been declared for participation in the league.

The team will perform in the updated roster at Japan League 2022 Season 1, which takes place both online and offline. The Japanese Rainbow Six League started on April 30th and will end on June 5th. The total prize fund of the tournament is $37,378. The winner will take home the main reward of $15,738 and earn 15 ranking points.
