Fnatic will put starting jungler Maurice "Amazing" Stückenschneider on a two-week break and field Fnatic Academy jungler Mads "Broxah" Brock-Pedersen instead, the organization announced Monday.

"At the start of the 2017 season, we mentioned the importance of having a flexible 10-man roster, and the benefits it would be able to bring to both of our lineups throughout the split," Fnatic said in a Facebook post. "Having seen excellent displays from Broxah in the challenger Series, we have made the decision to give him a shot in the LCS team."

Fnatic is currently third in Group B in the EU LCS, with a 2-2 record. Meanwhile, Fnatic Academy is tied for first in the EUCS with one win over Paris Saint-Germain. However, despite the swap, Amazing will not be playing on Fnatic Academy, Instead, the team has signed former mousesports player Daniel “Dan” Hockley to act as the team’s substitute jungler. Both Broxah and Dan will join their respective starting rosters pending Riot approval.

Amazing joined Fnatic in November, replacing Lee “Spirit” Da-yoon. At the time, Fnatic stated that they were hoping to field a 10-person, all-European roster for the 2017 season. The roster included players from both Fnatic and the Fnatic Academy roster.

Amazing currently has a 2.86 KDA in the 2017 EU LCS Spring Split across 11 games, and the second lowest kill participation of any jungler in Europe at 60.6 percent.
