Fnatic's addition of top laner Mateusz "Kikis" Szkudlarek earlier this week and Yeong-Jin "Gamsu" Noh's subsequent release seemed to happen rapidly.

In a French-language interview with Corbier et Callystoo, Bora "YellOwStaR" Kim confirmed the truth of that observation, but added that he felt that management had properly considered the factors involved.

"I don't think that they made this change impulsively, but...In terms of the players, we didn't really have a say because it happened so quickly," YellOwStaR said in the interview.

Making a change like this partway through the season can have serious implications for a team, he continued, but he likes what he's seen so far from Kikis.

"The management took the responsibility for the replacement, and given that we're already well into the split, it's potentially risky, but Kikis played very well against H2K for his first performance," he said.

In the interview, YellOwStaR also discusses his perceived differences between EU and NA, the impact of the best-of-two format on the region and their Week 7 match against H2k-Gaming.
