fnaticMSI Welcomes Starcraft Division

by Augury on December 2nd, 2008 at 21:49 CET

Starcraft: Brood War is the longest lasting and one of the most influential games in the E-Sports world and is one of the few games worthy of the prestige that is fnaticMSI.

With that in mind, it's with great pleasure that we're able to present the fnaticMSI Starcraft division. fnaticMSI strongly believes that this newly founded division is going to play an integral part in the future of this organization as well as the future of E-Sports.

The fnaticMSI.SC team will feature some of the best players the foreign Starcraft scene has ever seen. The team has proven its dominance with a strong presence in the World Cyber Games as well as commanding authority in the Chinese Starcraft scene.

We have the utmost confidence in this team and expect to see the players flourish under the leadership of Andrik "Ash" Tan. Without further ado, Fnatic would like to present its Starcraft team:

  • flag Andrik "Ash" Tan (Manager)
  • flag picture Sun Yi "F91" Feng
  • flag picture Ding "JayStar" Wei
  • flag picture Liu Bo "lbh" Hao
  • flag picture Zhuang Chuan "Phoenix66" Hai
  • flag picture Yang Chia "SEn" Cheng
  • flag picture Gordon "JukeBox" Hoi

Today marks another era in the RTS scene for fnatic. After our successful WC3 and DOTA teams, we felt it was the right time to add a Starcraft team. While some may percieve it as a merc move towards SC2's launch. We are very much interested in building up a SC community with fnatic.com and also because the players have known each other for years and that they speak the same language, there's no more an organisation could ask for.

The players are top notch and while a few of them are unheard of their talent and skills over the next few months shall define fnatic.SC for years to come"
, said Elroy Pinto, General Manager


"Today is probably the most meaningful day for me that I can finally announce my newly formed Fnatic.Bw team. Despite my previous experiences in managing MYM.BW squad , this is the first time I am able to form and lead a new team and show to the community what we're capable of. I can’t really say what I’m feeling right now because I am just too excited! Not only did we manage to form a new team with our precious friendships, we’ve also got one of the most successful esports team in the world to support us.

I look forward to the day till we can finally be regarded as the best non Korean BW team like what MYM.BW is at the moment. This may sound like a hard task for others but it is definitely an achievable target for every of us in the team. It seems that most if not all of the players right now are in their top shapes. I can assure all of you that we will see more of the actions from our players in the near future. Please continue your support for us and have your attention stayed on us! We will deliver what we’re being expected to. Last but not least, I would like to thank Fnatic for being really supportive and giving us the chance for us to represent their names. Long Live Fnatic!"
, said Andrik Tan, Starcraft Manager.


Feel free to get to know the team even better with mini interviews of the players done by Andrik 'Ash' Tan.

In my opinion, China is the strongest country outside of Korea for StarCraft. Behind China would be America, Germany/Poland.

I'm not that of a StarCraft fan but still got some questions regarding this team. So I've seen all of the achievements and some must be good. But why would you bring in two players with less achievements then the other and their last in 2006? It's now the end of 2008 almost 2009. Did they retire for some reason or are didn't they won anything I didn't got this from reading all of this.

Yup, if you've actually read the interviews you can see that some of the players had to stop playing competitively due to schools and work. They have decided to make a come back since things are getting more stable for them now and they have the spare time to compete with the best. I hope that answered your question :)
