Fnatic

Fnatic is a professional electronic sports organization based out of Australia, UK and The Netherlands. Fnatic was founded in July 23, 2004. Fnatic is particularly well-known for its highly successful Counter-Strike team, which is the single most financially-successful Counter-Strike team in electronic sports history. Fnatic is one of the founding members of the G7 Teams.

History
Fnatic has had a mixed history with the DotA scene, having maintained a variety of players from different regions and games over the years. The first iteration consisted of an Indonesian team, consisting of Romi 'melen' Gunawan, Sugiarto 'BaHaMuT' Cahyadi, Ritter 'RitteR' Rusli, Ariyanto 'Lakuci' Sony and Jeffry 'Neo' Lu. This team was dismissed in 2009

During 2008-09, Fnatic acquired sponsors MSI and SteelSeries, two supporters of E-Sports. During this time, Fnatic picks up a new DotA team including Edvin "Kwom" Börjesson, Jonathan "Loda" Berg, Rasmus "Misery-" Berth, Rene "Kebap-" Werner, and Aringazin "Aidar" Aidar. This roster lasted until the end of said year, from which the players would make their stand as a team with Blight Gaming, which resulted in unfortunate ramifications.

In late 2011, Fnatic took up GamersLeague's Dota 2 team as their own Dota 2 team, which they eventually dropped in March 2012. Fnatic's Heroes of Newerth squad then switched over to Dota 2.

In October 2012, Fnatic picked up American squad Josh Tabak as their second team.

In January 2013, 4 members of Fnatic's North American roster were dropped. A new squad will be reformed around SMURF.
