THE TEAMS
At Fnatic we have dedicated gaming squads that will endeavour to be the very best in their particular discipline. Our main focus is on the most popular of competitive games Counter-Strike, Quake Live, Call of Duty 4 and World of Warcraft. Furthermore Fnatic is hosting an academy where top players get the chance to turn professional in the future, such as the Heroes of Newerth series, Starcraft and Halo Xbox.
Through these teams we have become a brand name recognized worldwide. The teams already have their own fan base, which supports them at events and follow all of their activities closely. The Counter-Strike team especially has proved to be one of world’s best teams in 2006 and 2009, showing up in every big tournament on the planet and still being considered as the number one team in the world currently. Our Quake Live squad is to seed amongst the best in their particular discipline and have done so at many international events. Recently our World of Warcraft team have reached new heights with great media attention. Last but not least our CoD4 division is also placed amongst the world’s elite in their discipline, having continued their event winning streak ever since June 2009.
