Today is a Sad day as we announce the departure James '2GD' Harding from Fnatics Ranks as General Manager. James joined Fnatic over 2 years ago as a Professional Quake 4 player in 2006, then moving onto World of Warcraft in 2007, and this year took the roll of General Manager undertaking various managerial tasks across Fnatic. However all good things must come to an end, and James has decided to pursue other interests (You may have noticed his recent activities as commentator extraordinare!).

James had this to say about parting Fnatic:

I can only thank everyone in Fnatic and its community for the great opportunity and support over the 2 years. It's been an honor and a pleasure to play along side some of the best teams and players in the world, but more importantly make friends with some great gamers :). I only hope I have made the right decision to leave, but I know one thing for sure I will look back on my time spent in Fnatic Fondly! so...cya laterz all, wish me luck!

Jay has been a great friend and amazing member of FNATIC over the years. He has offered support to the likes of Cypher, the world of warcraft team and been a great player as a Quake 4, and WoW. He is especially known for his great wit, and has been a great guy to have around at events, a friend to all! I wish him all the best of luck in his other endeavours, and I expect to be working with him in the near future in whatever that may be.. as I know he's extremely talented!
