But before you get to know the new team, we have the management commenting on this development in the organisation -

Samuel "zr0" Mathews, Managing Director of Fnatic had this to say:

Well what can I say.. we couldn't stay away for too long.. Fnatic didn't feel right without a warcraft 3 team so we have decided to step right back up to the plate with a team of excellence in the hub of all RTS KOREA! I am very excited and pleased to announce We Are Go as well as Shy and Focus into the arms of FNATIC! I look forward to a long future in RTS especially with Starcraft 2 around the corner, starting again now with this great team of friends, who I think will fit perfectly within fnatic. They play for each other and now they will play for each other within a larger family! Welcome aboard and we look forward to a strong gosu career for each of you in fnatic ^^ yes?

Anne Mathews aka Annaky, Director Fnatic Pty Ltd had this to say:

I would like to welcome into the Fnatic fold a great new squad of fantastic Korean Warcraft 3 players. We have no doubt that they will fit within the ideology of the big Fnatic family.We look forward to them meeting our ideals of being the best in the world. These young passionate players not only share their dedication and, skills, but they also nurture a close friendship. The perfect profile for a true Fnatic team.

Elroy "Noname" Pinto, Warcraft 3 Manager and Warcraft 3 Coverage Director added this:

It's been exactly 4 months since we shut down Warcraft 3 and ended our European team. Today marks a new beginning in the chapter of Warcraft 3 in Fnatic. In 4 months we've waited and watched the scene change and when the time was right things just fell into place and it's all complete now. We have many things planned for this new team but our main goal is to reach the finals of every and any event we attend. We're going for #1! Lastly - We are all HappY!

Readmore's Daniel caught Samuel "zr0" Mathews for a few words on the new team (Original Link):

What are the reasons for fnatic to come back to Warcraft 3? We see RTS as a huge part of esports, and although we got rid of our last team it was not because we dont see the value in the game but more because of the circumstances of well poor results. We also wanted to move into Asia as this is the hub of RTS especially in China.. so expect some news regarding that in the near future. Another reason was simply the opportunity that arose to pick up a full team who are friends, this is something we have always believed in.. taking on full teams who want to play for each other and not just for themselves. GO with their friends back in Shy and Focus is a very strong team. What are the goals for such a team? We want to have a top 4 team in WC3 to have a place in the finals and to really lift fnatics image in RTS. We also want to grow our Asian presence as a brand and support teams from this region. But most of all, WC3 is a great game with many fans, and Fnatic should be a part of that. We also want to prepare for SC2 as we feel this will be a huge game for ESPORTS globally. Do you think your team can be competitive with MYM or SK in the future? For sure, i think we represent up and coming talent in WC3 in Korea, and we also have team spirite which some teams might lack. I think on Any Given Sunday anything can happen, and our guys are incredibaly skilled. MYM and SK are very strong at the moment, so we shall see what happens at the end of the season and most likely next season. How important is FoCuS for your team? He is the only new guy to the team compared to the lineup at Team NoA. Focus and Shy together are great individually, but also equally importantly is the fact that they are a 2v2 team and will be a very important factor in our team. Focus is excellent in 1 on 1 as well we shall have to see just how important a role he will play, but i respect his skill very much. Many people see fnatic as european clan. Do you think a korean team can really represent fnatic in Europe? I think Fnatic has always been a global team, we wish to represent professional gaming as it should be and that is GLOBAL. The internet has no borders, nor does online gaming, so why should we! :D Of course we have held most of our teams in Europe but that is mostly because europe has the most talent in the games we currently have.
