Fnatic have officially announced the departure of Spanish League of Legends toplaner Óscar ‘Oscarinin’ Muñoz Jiménez from their LEC roster.

Oscarinin joined Fnatic as a rookie and spent three years with the UK-based esports organisation.

He was still contracted with the organisation until November 16th 2026, but is now a free agent ahead of the LEC 2026 season.

His replacement was already confirmed as Fnatic announced the signing of rookie toplaner Panagiotis ‘Empyros’ Tantis.

According to reports, Fnatic were looking at three options in the top lane, including the possibility of keeping Oscarinin.

With all LEC rosters seemingly locked, Oscarinin has not found a team, and many wondered if he would share the role with Empyros.

We now know that isn’t the case and Oscarinin himself has now answered questions about his future, saying on social media:

“As many of you already knew, I won’t be competing in LEC this year nor continuing with Fnatic.

“Although it didn’t end in the best way, I take with me very fond memories and many experiences to learn from, a huge thanks to all the fans who have supported me these years”

“About my future for the time being, I’m not going to be competing in the next split.

“I’ll be streaming and grinding soloq hard to get back to LEC, which is my top priority. I hope you’ll be supporting me next year and joining me on my new adventure.”

After a fantastic performance in the 2025 Summer Playoffs against Karmine Corp, completely outplaying Kim “Canna” Chang-dong, Oscarinin has shown he can perform at a very high level.

It won’t be surprising to see a team give Oscarinin another chance in the LEC by signing him mid-season.

Fnatic’s LEC roster for 2026

Fnatic have made big changes to their LEC roster after being the first team eliminated at LoL Worlds 2025.

Jungler Iván ‘Razork’ Martín Díaz and ADC Elias ‘Upset’ Lipp are the only two players who have kept their place.

Fnatic have signed Vladimiros ‘Vladi’ Kourtidis in one of the biggest moves of the current LoL esports offseason.

The former LEC MVP is a very talented player and will be who Fnatic fans are pinning most of their hopes on.

The other new arrival is Korean support Park ‘Lospa’ Joon-hyeong.

Lospa has already been competing in Europe after playing for GIANTX Pride in the ERLs last season and speaks good English.

The full line-up for Fnatic in 2026 will be

• Top lane – Empyros
• Jungle – Razork
• Mid lane – Vladi
• ADC – Upset
• Support – Lospa
