Fnatic welcome Neil "Kboy" Kirk

by bidy on September 6th, 2008 at 08:01 CEST

pictureFnatic are one of the world’s most renown gaming organizations, and with our continued growth we have added a new face to the management. A character, who we feel has done great things with his previous organization, Team Cooler Master, and will continue to do so in Fnatic.

As of today, Neil "Kboy" Kirk, will become Fnatic Business Development Manager, to be working closely with Fnatic’s Founder and Owner, Sam "zr0" Mathews, Neil, will be working out of the office in Southampton. Having been part of Team Cooler Master since its formation in 2005, Neil has seen his old organization (which he co-owned) grow into one of the biggest gaming teams in the UK, boasting sponsors such as their namesake, Coolermaster – also a partner of Fnatic. Now Neil’s skills in Management, Public Relations, Marketing and Development will be available as he uses his clear vision of where Gaming and Fnatic are heading in the future to ensure that Fnatic continues in its already successful path.

Neil "Kboy" Kirk, The New Business Development Manager of Fnatic PTY LTD:
Firstly I personally would like to thank Coolermaster for their ongoing support and all those involved with Team-Coolermaster. In addition to Fnatic for the opportunity they have presented to me. This was a big decision for myself personally and professionally and one that I did not take lightly, as TCM has always been treated (and still will to a certain degree) as a passion and something that is close to my heart. However after many considerations and being offered the role within one of the world’s largest gaming organizations I felt it would be beneficial to all concerned for many reasons to accept, ultimately an opportunity I could not turn down. Paul ‘Whitley’ Williams a close personal friend of mine and the rest of the team I know will continue to do a great job with the players and sponsors moving forward. I am looking forward to working with Sam and all of the team at Fnatic very closely to help develop and continue to evolve their already successful brand.


Paul "Whitley" Williams, Co-founder and Manager of Team-Coolermaster:
I would like to wish Neil 'Kboy' Kirk' and all the best for the future. I have known Kboy for over 20 years and although we will no longer be working on the same project our friendship will always be strong (apart from when we play Fnatic in future events). I would like to thank Fnatic for giving Kboy this opportunity as I know he will achieve great things for them. Finally thanks must go to Coolermaster for supporting and bringing the eSports world together through products, events and now gaming organisations, it just goes to show they are truly dedicated to the whole gaming scene.


Anne "Annaky" Mathews, Finance Director of Fnatic PTY LTD:
Fnatic is very pleased to welcome Neil to the management team. Having him onboard to expand our management, PR, and deal with developing the business. As a result we are hoping for a bigger and better Fnatic. Both Sam and I are extremely happy and excited to have Neil working with us to fulfill our dreams and aspiration about Fnatic and e-sports in general.
