Posted: Aug 24, 2016 Written by: do_0h

Today the guys behind the Australian based team, Sweden Team fnatic have announced a new Counter-Strike:Global Offensive team.


As Sweden GODSENT before, the managers of the organization have announced the acquisition of an academy team.


The secondary team will most likely act as a ramp for the players to the main team.


First to be announced in the team is the player that stood in for the main fnatic team when Sweden Olof 'olofmeister' Kjarbjer was recovering, Sweden Niclas 'PlesseN' Plessen.


There are two other members from the Sweden Visomvet team, Sweden Linus Baat 'Baaten' Andersson and Sweden Maikil 'Golden' Selim.


The line-up is completed with Sweden Aleksandar 'jayzaR' Zarkovic, Sweden Alex 'Karus' Saglamoglu and team coach Sweden Andreas 'Samuelsson' Samuelsson.



The announcement was made on the official website of the team, where Sweden Patrik 'cArn' Sattermon had this to say:


"Counter-Strike has always been a fundamental part of Fnatic and its competitive side has given our organisation so much excitement, joy and pride. It's safe to say that neither us as a business or eSports overall would be where we are today if it wasn't for CS. Our decade long involvement in the respective CS titles have taught us so many valuable lessons that we have applied across our business on a daily basis.

Today we are pleased to announce our latest CS venture: Fnatic Academy CS:GO. We have identified what we believe is some of the most talented and hard working players in Europe, and from today onwards these individual will form one of the strongest semi-professional teams, whch we as an organisation will support in their journey towards becoming the eSports stars of tomorrow."
