Today we regret to announce that our StarCraft II manager, Duran 'Xeris' Parsi, will be leaving us.

Duran has been part of FnaticMSI for nearly two years now, and has been managing our StarCraft II team during that time. He has numerous successes with the team, which includes winning team leagues and helping players such as KawaiiRice to fulfill their true potential. 

Unfortunately, we had two very different visions for where we wanted to be heading in 2012. As a result Duran will be departing Fnatic on good terms.

General Manager, Elroy Pinto, gave the following statement on Duran's departure: 

I'd like to thank Duran for his overall service and committment to Fnatic. Ever since he wrote that email to us and I first had a chat with him I knew there was something special about him. He really helped us grow in the SC scene and we're thankful for all his hours and work put in. In the end our vision for 2012 didn't really match and we'd like to wish him the best in his various endeavours in eSports.

We would like to wish him the best of luck with whatever he chooses to do from here on in.  Stay tuned to Fnatic.com and make sure to find us on Facebook and Twitter as we move forward in 2012!
