Soeben gab fnatic bekannt, dass der AD-Carry-Spieler Manuel ‚LaMia‘ Mildenberger seine professionelle eSports-Karriere beendet und ein neues Leben in Taiwan beginnt.
LaMia ging gemeinsam mit seinem Team als Sieger der Season 1 hervor und konnte auch in der gegenwärtigen Season 2 viele Erfolge verzeichnen. Da sich fnatic nicht für die World Championship der Season 2 qualifizieren konnte, entschied sich LaMia nun dazu, das Team zu verlassen. Somit kann sich fnatic frühzeitig auf die Suche nach einem Nachfolger für die Qualifikationen für Season 3 begeben.
LaMia zieht sich nunmehr gänzlich aus der europäischen League of Legends-Szene zurück und wird gemeinsam mit seiner Freundin ein Leben in Taiwan beginnen.
+ Statement von Manuel ‚LaMia‘ Mildenberger:
Most have noticed that I have stopped playing recently and it is simply because I felt the need for a change in my life. I was not happy with gaming anymore – simply too much in the evening and afterall there is not really a day in the week where you are off. The competition doesn’t stop either, you know. I felt like there was no better time to quit to make it as easy to the team as possible than the long months they have to prepare for the Season 3 qualifiers now and Campus Party Berlin was a great farewell where I could even Draven it up on stage 🙂
I’m going to a place I learned to love (Thank you Raidcall) to study a language I really want to learn and this includes having to stop playing LoL (atleast in Europe – will still have some fun on the SEA servers :P) with the team.
I want to thank all the special people: Lauri „HEY!“ Happonen, Enrique „Cojones“ Martinez, Maciej „laaaaaamiiiiii“ Ratuszniak, Peter „Captain Obvious: You can’t even read that!“ Meisrimel, Max „MagicFingersFnaticFingersbutafteralljustaFART and the darkest of…“ Dreysse, Harry „My Annie“ Wigget, Paul „Soazzuuuuu“ Boyer, Chris „pressure“ Seitz, also, Arthur „Karthus… ehh, Arthus..“ Sun and my biggest fan and bro: my bro! Also thanks to the whole Fnatic team and management who have been a great support to us and a relly caring organization all the way.
See you in Taiwan :)“

So I sadly have to say goodbye to a great player but also which is a lot harder, to a good friend of mine. I wish you the best of luck and health for your life and we will stay in contact.“

+ Statement von Peter ‚Mellisan‘ Meisrimel:
It’s litte sad to see the old squad slowly getting breaking off, but it seems natural that people move on with their lifes at some point and I hope the rest will find a worthy replacement.
But the fact he is moving to Taiwan is actually quite a suprise for me, but I’m confident that he will find his way, as he always seemed like a person that can have sucess at anything in life, if he wants to.
In this terms I wish you best of luck and I won’t forget the awesome time we had together in LoL and the numerous times we met outside the game.“
