Adam Felt 'Betrayed' By Fnatic Management And Teammates After Worlds
After a dismal League of Legends World Championships performance, the Fnatic roster has fell apart, with Gabriël "Bwipo" Rau leaving for a new venture across the pond and Adam "Adam" Maanane opting to leave the organisation, whilst ripples remain between Elias "Upset" Lipp and Yasin "Nisqy" Dincer.
Having left Fnatic on November 24, Adam has now fired some scathing words towards the organisation, despite reflecting on what was an incredible Spring Split.
Taking to Twitter to express his emotions, the Top Laner divulged that his rookie season ended with great controversy, feeling "betrayed" by the Fnatic management team and his ex-teammates, specifically Upset.
Adam Hits Out At Upset For "Unjustified" Worlds Departure
Fnatic fans were dealt with a huge blow just hours before their opening Worlds 2021 fixture as Upset declared that he will not be playing due to personal reasons and will be returning home - with Louis "Bean" Schmitz stepping in with just two rounds of practice.
With a lot of uncertainty surrounding Upset's departure, Adam has now lashed out at the young German, claiming that his reason to leave Iceland was "unjustified".
Adam said, "Between us, there is absolutely nothing legal in Upset's departure and his departure is totally unjustified (at least until he says why he really left BECAUSE until today, Upset just left to join his girlfriend because she felt bad to be alone).
"After Worlds I asked for details, but apparently he didn't tell anyone the exact reasons for his departure. There's nothing urgent because otherwise he would have told us. And personally, I don't give a damn about the privacy reason when I worked, we all worked hard for 1 year to reach the Worlds."
Adam Claims He Was "Treated Like S**t By Fnatic Management Team
As for the future, Adam declared that he was not prepared to stay with Fnatic, claiming that he was "betrayed" and "treated like s**t" during the off-season.
The Frenchman claimed that following Worlds, the rumours of Luka "Perkz" Perkovic and Barney "Alphari" Morris potentially joining Fnatic piled the pressure on Adam, who was still looking for answers about the Worlds failures. The Top Laner admitted that Upset was a driving force in Fnatic trying to sign Alphari, believing Adam was not up to "his standards".
"When I learned that FNC was trying to replace me, it honestly felt like a betrayal, and that's when I definitely wanted to leave this team. But it's not over yet!"
He continued to claim that whilst he understands some players have bigger ambitions, he was not appreciative of how he was treated by the Fnatic management team.
"I left because I was treated like s**t by the management, and even the players of the team."
The Fnatic management team and remaining players have yet to shed any further light into the confusing matter, simply bidding Adam farewell on Twitter.
