Fnatic (pronounced "fanatic" /fəˈnæt.ɪk/; also stylized as fnatic or FNATIC) is a professional eSports organization headquartered in London, United Kingdom. Founded 23 July 2004, the team has players from around the world, across a variety of games, such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends and Dota 2.
Fnatic's League of Legends team won the first ever League of Legends World Championship in 2011, and also holds the record for the most League of Legends Championship Series split titles, totalling five of the seven played so far. In the 2015 EU LCS Summer Split they became the first LCS team to finish a split undefeated. Because of their accomplishments Fnatic's LoL team is usually considered the best western team in history.
Fnatic's Counter-Strike team, which has traditionally been located in Sweden, is also considered one of the best of all time, having won three CS:GO Majors and winning many other tournaments in both the CS 1.6 and CS:GO eras.
The organization was founded on 23 July 2004 by Sam Mathews and Anne Mathews. After playing several years for Fnatic, Patrik "cArn" Sättermon, a Counter-Strike player, became the Chief Gaming Officer of Fnatic in 2012. Wouter Sleijffers replaced Anne Mathews as CEO in 2015, whilst Sam Mathews is the Board Chairman.
Between 2008 and 2009, Fnatic was sponsored by MSI and SteelSeries, spurring a temporary name change to FnaticMSI. On 1 June 2011, Fnatic partnered with EIZO to launch their gaming monitors into the market.
In 2006, Fnatic acquired a World of Warcraft team, Fnatic. WoW. Returning to represent Fnatic in the World of Warcraft 3v3 community was players TooGood, Vo0, and Ztrider. The Fnatic. WoW division won top finishes in events including BlizzCon, Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) and Major League Gaming (MLG).
