Fnatic Enforces Strict Ban on Harassers to Protect Players Across Esports Titles
February 20, 2026
Fnatic will permanently ban individuals from its social media channels, Discord servers, and any future physical events after identifying harassers or threats, signaling a hard line against abuse.
The organization has instituted immediate measures to combat online abuse and threats targeting its players, including involvement of law enforcement and permanent bans for those responsible.
Fnatic is urging the community to report abusive content through official channels rather than engaging with it, reaffirming its commitment to keeping esports a safe, inclusive space.
Safety and moderation efforts span multiple teams across games such as League of Legends, VALORANT, CS2, Apex Legends, Rainbow Six Siege, and The Finals, showing a broad, organization-wide approach.
Fnatic is prioritizing player safety and wellbeing, offering support to players to feel secure both online and offline amid increasing abuse.
High-profile players Vladi and Lospa have stepped back from social media amid alleged threats, while Boaster has previously faced online hate and death threats.
There is zero tolerance for harassment, and threats of violence are illegal and cross an ethical line, according to Fnatic.
