Fnatic parted ways with head coach Jamie “keita” Hall on Thursday after three years at the helm.
The move comes on the heels of the Counter-Strike 2 team losing three consecutive matches en route to exiting the opening stage of the Perfect World Shanghai Major. Fnatic finished in the 23-24 slot with Imperial Esports.
“Today we say farewell to Coach (keita) as we move in a new direction for 2025,” Fnatic wrote on X. “We want to thank Jamie for his incredible contributions to the squad over the last three years, and wish him all the best with his next steps.”

keita, 32, joined Fnatic in August 2021 after spending a little over two years as the coach of Complexity.
“I want to express my appreciation to all the staff and players I’ve had the privilege of working with over the past three years,” keita said. “I am currently open to all coaching offers as I evaluate my future. Excited for what’s next, DMs open.”
Fnatic’s roster consists of Sweden’s Freddy “KRIMZ” Johansson and Tim “nawwk” Jonasson, France’s Alexandre “bodyy” Pianaro, Denmark’s Benjamin “blameF” Bremer and Slovakia’s Matus “MATYS” Simko.
