Adrian ‘Era’ Kryeziu will not be participating in any LAN events together with Fnatic this summer
In a Tweet the 18-year old Swedish carry made his plans for the summer clear, and they did not involve playing Dota 2 together with Fnatic.
Not allowed to play any LAN during the summer. I would've loved to, though

As onGamers’ previously reported in early June, Kryeziu has been plagued by health issues which made him sit out his team's recent trekk to the US. He had also experienced health difficulties earlier in the year as he was unable to travel to Las Vegas together with Fnatic in early 2014 due to sickness, it is yet unknown whether or not it is the same sickness that is affecting him currently. He is also not present at the European team’s ongoing bootcamp that was set up in order to prepare them for TI4.
This means that the world’s biggest esports event will pass the carry player by. His replacement has not yet been announced but it is safe to assume that Steve ‘Excalibur’ Ye will be continuing to represent the team in the coming months after performing above expectations at The Summit last week. where Fnatic finished 5th. Whether or not this will affect Fnatic's spot at the soon-to-be $10,000,000 event is yet to be seen, but considering EG's similar predicament in which original member Clinton 'Fear' Loomis was forced to step down due to an unforseen injury and left their invite intact, it can be assumed that an issue as serious as what is affecting Kryeziu will be treated in a similar fashion.
onGamers has reached out to Fnatic for a statement regarding the situation.
