fnatic are looking to replace in-game leader Maikil "Golden" Selim with former Ninjas in Pyjamas member Richard "Xizt" Landström, according to a report from Flickshot.fr.

The report comes as a surprise as fnatic have just won IEM Katowice after beating FaZe in the final, bringing a two-year title drought to an end.

Maikil "⁠Golden⁠" Selim was promoted by fnatic from the organisation's academy team in August in the aftermath of Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer's departure to FaZe. Since his arrival, fnatic have climbed back up the world ranking, in which they are currently fifth - their best placement in almost two years.

But it seems that not all is well within the team outside the game, with fnatic reportedly looking into the possibility of signing Richard "⁠Xizt⁠" Landström, who is assessing his options after being replaced by Dennis "⁠dennis⁠" Edman on NiP's starting roster.

The 27-year-old is no stranger to fnatic, having represented the organisation between 2010 and 2012. During this period, he most notably guided the team to success at the IEM V European Championship Finals, DreamHack Winter 2011 and Copenhagen Games 2012.

Golden will soon travel to China with the rest of the fnatic to compete at the WESG World Finals. The Swedish team have been drawn in Group G, which also features current ELEAGUE Major Boston champions Cloud9.

fnatic's reported new roster will look as follows:
