In an article written by Luke Cotton on CrackClan.com we get a history lesson about fnaticMSI. The article was originally intended to be posted for Inside-eSports in 2008, but the project didn't lift off and the article was just recently posted on CrackClan.com.

The article, named "Fnatic: Then and Now" is introduced with a small piece about the foundation of fnatic, the management and how owner Sam "zr0" Mathews and his organization have been an important factor for the development of eSports.

Cotton writes about the very first teams of fnatic, such as our dominating Call of Duty, Unreal Tournament and Painkiller teams. Of course Sander "Vo0" Kaasjager, the legendary Painkiller duellist (currently Quake 3 player for fnaticMSI), gets noticed, pointing out to his CPL victories and retirement, as well as his recent comeback.

In the middle of the article we see the Counter-Strike 1.6 team get to order, their slow start and roster changes they have made in order to get renown as the best Counter-Strike team in the world. In the last part Cotton writes about other fnatic teams including the legendary Dutch Counter-Strike: Source team and the Call of Duty 4 squad.
