The news comes by way of a social media hype video, announcing Chronicle’s arrival in hilarious fashion as hoards of grumpy fans demand a roster update from the team’s IGL and head coach:
Chronicle marks the second new arrival to Fnatic after the announcement of former Guild player Leo “Leo” Jannesson was brought in only weeks ago.
Fnatic’s 2023 Valorant roster is now as follows:
Jake “Boaster” Howlett Leo “Leo” Jannesson Nikita “Derke” Sirmitev Timofey “Chronicle” Khromov Emir “Alfajer” Ali Beder
The team will compete in the EMEA league of Riot Games’ new, franchised Valorant Champions Tour next year, and certainly look as though they’re likely to prove highly competitive. Fnatic has always been at the very apex of the European Valorant scene, though the team hasn’t actually won all that much. Its best result is finishing in first place at the EMEA Challengers, Stage 2 competition earlier this year. Internationally, though, the team has had to settle for runners-up spots or below.
