Valve just released more information regarding the issue that has occured with the replacement of Adrian 'Era' Kryeziu in Fnatic. They published certain letters from the organization and the players, shedding some more light on the situation. As it currently stands, Valve will require Era to be a part of Fnatic in order for the team to take part in TI4.

There has been a lot of fuzz surrounding the situation that has occured after the replacement of Adrian 'Era' Kryeziu by Steve 'Xcalibur' Yee in the roster of Fnatic. The organization released their side of the story earlier this week, mentioning that Era has been suffering from a mental condition that affects his training and performance. They mentioned that they would like to replace him with Xcalibur in The International 4, but Valve rejected their application insisting that Adrian 'Era' Kryeziu should play in the event.

Today, Valve posted their response, offering their opinion on the matter along with certain emails that the two sides exchanged. Judging from the content of those letters, it seems that Era indeed suffered from anxiety disorder, but he received clearance from his doctors and family to participate in The International and ESL One. However, Fnatic insisted on benching the player and using Xcalibur instead.

Despite Fnatic's continuous attempts to go through with the roster change without losing their spot in the tournament, the Valve representatives remain unconvinced and they refused to invite any other player instead of the five original members of Fnatic. Nonetheless, it is safe to assume that Fnatic will accept the decision and proceed to play in the competition using Era as their carry.
