[edit] Overview

Fnatic is a gaming organization originating in Australia and the UK, with registered offices in Australia, the UK and the Netherlands. The Fnatic team was founded by Sam Mathews with help from Joris Van Laerhoven and Anne Mathews. The organisation is widely known for a variety of teams, most particularly in having one of the most successful Counter-Strike 1.6 teams in the world. Their main office is found in London.

Fnatic consists of the following divisions:

  • Counter Strike
  • Call of Duty 4
  • Dota 2
  • StarCraft II
  • League of Legends
  • Halo

[edit] History

Despite being mainly concentrated on Team FPS and Duel eSport titles in the past, Fnatic recruited a strong Asian Brood War team in 2008, with players such as Sen, JayStar, Never and F91 - the team which later became DuskBin. Fnatic enjoyed two fruitful spells with Warcraft III. Their European team held players such as Satiini and RotterdaM, while their later Korean team included FoCuS and Shy.

In anticipation of the release of Starcraft 2, Fnatic organised a Rookie Draft, with the aim of discovering Starcraft talent for their new squad. Over 300 players from all around the world fought in the FnaticMSI Rookie Draft for the chance to become a FnaticMSI player, with four players from the top 16 in the tournament taking up places with the competitive gaming behemoth.

On June 24th 2011, FnaticMSI signed Korean player Rain.[1] Although not the first time a Korean professional gamer has joined a foreign team, this is the first time that someone as notable as the GSL 3 runner-up has. Rain will live in the U.S. to practice and participate in tournaments.
