Dot Esports reported that Fnatic and G2 Esports have reached an agreement on a buyout deal for toplaner Martin “Wunder” Hansen. It was reported earlier that Wunder’s buyout was set at 2 million euros, though was gradually decreased as the offseason progressed. Reportedly, Wunder’s buyout was finalized at 600,000 euros.
Wunder is set to replace former Fnatic toplaner Adam. The French toplaner only filled the position for Fnatic for one split as Bwipo’s move to the jungle. Since Adam’s move to BDS, Fnatic struggled to find a replacement. Initially the team looked to sign Cabochard, though this deal seemingly feel through after Rekkles signed with the LFL team Karmine Corp.
The team ultimately decided on Wunder. The Danish toplaner had floated around free agency for some time before being contacted by Fnatic. He joined Spanish jungler Razork in joining the new 2022 iteration of the beloved European organization. With all of its contracts nearly set, Fnatic will feature Wunder, Razork, Humanoid, Upset, and Hylissang.
Wunder had been apart of G2 since 2017. With the team, Wunder contributed to the team’s four domestic titles, its MSI Championship run, and 2019 World Finals appearance. Largely considered one of the best toplaners in the LEC, Wunder slumped in the 2021 season as G2 failed to qualify for Worlds or make a finals appearance in either split.
Now, Wunder will look for redemption on Fnatic. Joining the perennial rival of his longtime team, Wunder has played against Fnatic countless times. Now donning the orange and black of Fnatic, Wunder will look defeat his former squad.
