Fnatic's 2022 season started promising, as the squad — with recent addition braveaf — went undefeated in their Challengers group. They secured their Masters slot in a nail-biting series against M3 Champions M3 Champions Inactive Jady Yaroslav Nikolaev purp0 Semyon Borchev Chronicle Timofey Khromov Redgar Igor Vlasov , and ended up finishing the playoffs in third place.

During Masters Reykjavik, two of Fnatic's members were unable to play: braveaf had been suspended by the organisation prior to the tournament, and Derke tested positive for COVID-19. The substitutes brought in to replace them were Enzo and H1ber .

Following this disappointing result, Fnatic benched MAGNUM in the off-season and parted ways with braveaf.

Before Enzo substituted for Fnatic at Masters, he was a part of Alliance Alliance Inactive . As their longest-standing member and captain, Enzo lead his team to the first Masters event of 2021. Alliance failed to qualify for EMEA Challengers in 2022, participating instead in the Northern regional league, where they finished fourth.

Alfajer has — unlike Enzo — not played in a VCT Challengers event before.
