Fnatic LoL academy player kicked from team after stream incident

Fnatic TQ League of Legends player Jona ‘Reptile’ Fritz has been dismissed by the London-headquartered organisation today.

He was spotted on-stream logging into a League of Legends smurf account with the username ‘Hitler119’ before swiftly closing the client window.

The German ADC bot-laner has been playing with Fnatic TQ, who compete in the LVP Spanish Superliga.

Fnatic said in a statement: “Reptile ceases to be a part of Fnatic TQ. Today’s event on this stream demonstrates that he doesn’t represent at all the values of both Team Queso and Fnatic, and he doesn’t meet the criteria of exemplarity that anyone who is part of either of the two entities must show at all times, both within and outside of the competition. For this reason we have proceeded to terminate his contract.”

Reptile responds to being let go from Fnatic TQ: ‘I was fully unaware of the account being named like this, but I accept the consequences’

“I made a big mistake sharing the account with a friend as shown here and I am very sorry to my teammates, Fnatic and all fans as you all don’t deserve to be left without an ADC for the rest of the split,” Reptile said in the below tweet.

“While I am taking full responsibility in sharing the account, this was around half a year ago where the namechange also happened. My values were always sharing my knowledge and trying to help everyone around the world. I am sure everyone who is close with me would agree with this, I didn’t mean to cause any harm.

“I was fully unaware of the account being named like this. It is obviously an unacceptable name, which explains why I logged in on stream as I didn’t realise the namechange, I even mentioned that I wanted a Draven skin in the clip, as the person I shared the account with is a Draven player.

“I hope this clears up the situation a bit, once again I am terribly at fault and I have to accept the consequences. Thank you all for reading and I hope the people I hurt will be able to forgive me.”

This tweet was also later posted looking to provide further context around the situation:
