The newly announced World of Warcraft squad here at Fnatic will be venturing out to the Intel Extreme Masters Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany 21st August. The Games Convention is an annual video games event hosted in Germany. Besides video games, the event also caters for the entertainment industry. In 2006 the Games Convention logged a total of 183,000 visitors, with a staggering 368 exhibitors from 25 different countries. The Games Convention is the place to be if you want to have a taster of all the new products on the market, to preview the upcoming game launches and to be in the know when it comes to general eSports.

Fnatic.WoW will be in attendance for the Intel Extreme Masters Games Convention but with a roster change. Andrew "Rhaegyn" Miller is starting university at the same time when the Games Convention takes place, so will be unavailable for the event. With this Fnatic have selected Isaac "Azael" Cummings-Bentley to fill in for Miller's place for the Games Convention 2008. Cummings-Bentley is still contracted to EG but has stepped up to fill in for team Fnatic at this event.

Hi, my name is Isaac Cummings-Bentley, and my WoW name is Azael. Lets start with a brief introduction about myself. I have been playing WoW since release, and have enjoyed tons of success in the game throughout its history. Since Arena was released I have been at the top of every bracket multiple times, and have been on many well known teams including the first 5v5 team to reach 2700 rating, as well as many others. I always wanted to go to WoW Tournaments, and actually got sponsored quite a while ago, for WSVG LA, which happened to be the WSVG event where the series was canceled, and so it was not until recently that I got another chance to go to WoW Tournaments. After qualifying for the WoW 3v3 Tournament online in the first round of qualifying, and getting sponsored in the past couple months I attended both MLG San Diego where our team finished 1st, and MLG Orlando where our team was able to finish 3rd. Throughout the past couple months I have played extensively with and against Fnatic's new WoW team, and have found them to be very strong opponents, as well as great teammates! I am really excited for the prospect of filling in for Rhaegyn, and playing with Fnatic at the Games Convention in Germany! I would really like to thank both EG and Fnatic for being so accommodating and allowing this to happen, top notch sponsors for sure! See you in Germany! Said Isaac "Azael" Cummings-Bentley.
