History

(2004–2005)
The Fnatic organization opened its door for E-Sports on July 23, 2004. A young entrepreneur named Sam Mathews found the organization with the help of Anne Mathews; with three separate squads, consisting of Unreal Tournament, Call of Duty and Counter Strike Female. On the opening week Fnatic welcomed the legend of painkiller Sander “Vo0” Kaasjager. Sander totally dominated the painkiller scene in 2004 and 2005 around the globe, racking up a lot of titles for Fnatic. He wasn’t the only superstar in Fnatic, as he was joined by Andrew “Gellehsak” Ryder, Johan “Toxic” Quick, and Alexander "Ztrider" Ingarv to help expand Fnatic’s name in the painkiller scene. The Unreal Tournament squad with Laurens "Lauke" Pluijmaekers, Frank “R0X” Aartman, and Martijn “roach” Nuijens made their marks in the competitive gaming scene by winning many major titles such as WCG 2004. In the mid 2005, the organization took their first step in Counter Strike competitive scene by picking up their first Counter Strike male squad. The Counter Strike team will later become world’s most financially successful team. Fnatic started the journey in E-Sports with the right steps as they had seven sponsors with names like Everglide, Intel Desktop Boards, NVIDIA, Sennheiser and many more; supporting five squads of Fnatic.

(2005–2006)
After a successful 2004-2005 chapter, Fnatic was ready for a great new year. Starting a fresh Counter Strike division was the first big step into the new chapter of Fnatic. Parting ways with the former Counter Strike squad from Spain, Fnatic introduced a new Swedish CS team with faces like Oscar "Archi" Torgersen, Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg, Harley "dsn" Örwall, Patrik "cArn" Sättermon, and Kristoffer 'Tentpole' Nordlund. The success for Fnatic.CS is just a start from now, with a few minor bumps on their journey, the team climbed their way to the top over the years; with few changes such as the addition of Oskar “ins” Holm in 2007, Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund and Rasmus "GuX" Ståhl in 2009. Along with the new Counter Strike squad, Fnatic ventured into Quake 4 scenes with solid players like James “TooGood” Harding, Stephan “Stelam” Lammert, Mikael 'PURRI' Tarvainen and many more. The Fnatic 2005-2006 chapter closes with another successful year with winning ESPORTS Team of The Year and placing top 3 in many major tournaments such as ESWC, CPL and many more.

(2006–2007)
The 2006-2007 chapter starts with saying farewell to two of Fanatic’s veterans, Sander “Vo0” Kaasjager, and Laurens "Lauke" Pluijmaekers; as they retire from E-Sports. But it was just the beginning for something fresh. Later on after ESWC 2006, Fnatic introduced their new addition Alexey "Cypher" Yanushevsky. The organization picked this raw talent to represent them in the Dueling scene alongside James “TooGood” Harding and Alexander "Ztrider" Ingarv, and it was the right decision. Alexey went on to placing top 3 in many events in Quake 4 and Quake III such as WSVG, QuakeCon and many more. The Fnatic.CS was also busy racking up wins in major events such as WEM, GG, NGL and placing top 3 in many others. The newest addition to the organization was Fnatic.WoW. Returning to represent Fnatic in the World of Warcraft 3v3 community was Fnatic’s very own TooGood, Vo0, and Ztrider. The squad full of FPS players didn’t disappoint, as they took 2nd in WSVG China. Another successful year comes to an end for the organization as they get nominated for ESPORTS-Team of the year once again.

(2007–2008)
Fnatic was ready for their 4th chapter (2007–2008). The new chapter started the addition of two new squads Fnatic.COD represented by, Daniel "tidde" Asp, Johan "LINQAN" Lindqvist, Marcus "odyxz" Nilsson, Robin "rivve" Holmen and Mikael "zsilts" Smedberg; and Fnatic.DotA represented by Ritter "Ritter" Rusli, Romi "melen" Gunawan, Ariyanto "Lakuci" Sony, Sugiarto "BaHaMuT" Cahyadi, Jeffry "Neo" Lu. The new addition started to represent Fnatic around the world. It was once again a good year for Fnatic.CS as they placed top three in many events around the globe once again. The Fnatic.WoW was also busy racking top finishers in events such as BlizzCon, IEM and MLG. Fnatic welcomes Neil Kirk (co-founder TCM Gaming). No surprise as Fnatic closes another successful year.

(2008–2009)
With this 5th chapter, Fnatic sign an alliance with two of the biggest supporter of E-Sports, MSi and SteelSeries. From now on Fnatic will be known as FnaticMSi. This wasn’t the only change. Sadly this is the chapter where FnaticMSi had to say farewell to players such as Alexey "Cypher" Yanushevsky, Oscar "Archi" Torgersen, and Oskar “ins” Holm. But every ending is just the beginning of something new. Along with the two new talents of Counter Strike Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund and Rasmus "GuX" Ståhl FnaticMSi picks up a fresh DotA. The new faces to represent FnaticMSi in DotA community would be none other then, Edvin "Kwom" Börjesson, Jonathan "Loda" Berg, Rasmus "Misery-" Berth, Rene "Kebap-" Werner, and Aringazin "Aidar" Aidar. They also add Stevy "stevy" Verheyen to the FnaticMSi.CoD squad. Placing top three in events such as ESWC, IEM, KODE5, CGS and many more means another successful chapter of FnaticMSi.

(2009–2010)
The world was not ready for this chapter of FnaticMSi. The 2009–2010 chapters will be known as the year when FnaticMSi.CS ruled the world. Winning events after events, FnaticMSi.CS made history in 2009. Becoming Number One Counter Strike team of 2009, the team achieved a whole new level of respect in the E-Sports community. The Call of Duty Squad of FnaticMSi was also having a great year as they were racking up titles after title and making their presence known in the Call of Duty Community. After being away from the Quake Series for a while, the organization finally announces a five man roster to represent them in global quake events. The roster consist of David "deus" Kinnaird, Pierre-Emeric "l1nkje" Portier, Sebastian "Spart1e" Siira, Alessandro "Stermy" Avallone, and Kevin "strenx" Baeza. They earned top 3 titles for FnaticMSi in many events such as QuakeCon, IEM, etc. The chapter ends as the most successful of successful chapter of FnaticMSi. The Chapter was closed as the organization part ways with the DotA squad and Counter Strike player Rasmus "GuX" Ståhl, and welcomes Björn "threat" Pers and winning E-Sports Team of Year award once again.

(2010–2011)
The 7th chapter of fnatic started with a lot of changes. As the new chapter starts the FnaticMSi.CS met their match Navi. The team welcomed back Rasmus "GuX" Ståhl, hoping to relive their success of 2009. Although the team was able to win few events, they still fell short to Navi event after event, caused FnaticMSi to rethink and reform their Counter Strike team. This would be the biggest change FnaticMSi.CS seen since 2005, as the organization says good bye to Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg, Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund and Rasmus "GuX" Ståhl. The team welcomed three new players to fill the void; the big responsibility of representing FnaticMSi.CS would fall on the hands of Richard "Xizt" Landström, Faruk "Pita" Pita, and Marcus "Delpan" Larsson. The new line up didn’t disappoint as they managed to surprise the entire world and win their first major event together. But soon the team faces a downhill road once again and was unable to recover from the downfall. The chapter also sees the end of FnaticMSi in quake scene as it part ways with its Quake players. In all the darkness FnaticMSi saw the light once again. Pulling the organization this time would be the young stars of FnaticMSi.HoN with faces like Johan "N0tail" Sundstein, Kalle "Trixi" Saarinen, Henrik "Freshpro" Hansen, Jascha "Nova_" Markuse, and Tal "Fly" Aizik. FnaticMSi.LoL with faces like Enrique Javier "xPeke" Martinez, Maciej "Shushei" Ratuszniak, Manuel "LamiaZeaLoT" Mildenberger, Lauri "Cyanidefi" Happonen, Max "MagicFingers" Dreysse, Peter "Mellisan" Meisrimel. Winning every major title in Heroes of Newerth and League of Legends these two squads made the world aware of the presence of FnaticMSi. They weren’t the only ones who were bringing back life to the organization. The new addition of Console (XBOX) squad, and a fresh Starcraft II with players like Chia Yang "Sen" Cheng, or GSL runner up Seo-Yong "Rain" Park, and many others fought hard in the chapter and placed top 3 in many events. Though the counter strike teams faced some rough path in this chapter, they have been slowly working their way back.
