wow, what a bold statement. you realise fnatic is the top 1 CS 1.6 organisation ever, having 3 rosters in the Top 10 best 5-man combos of all alltime? (with a combined prizemoney of far over 500.000 $)

always thought their SC2 team should feature only high calibre players, they have got tons of sponsors, but many unnecessary teams like Halo or DoTA 2 whom they probably waste money on...

Azubu directly sponsors their players. Azubu is not a team, its a company, and their investment in eSports is very focused, so they can afford to give viOlet a sizable salary - something which Fnatic, despite how huge they are, can't possibly compete with. Azubu has one SC2 player..Fnatic has eight, all of whom have to be paid. (academy players probably don't get paid, but still). Also, I had read somewhere what the salaries of their CS team were, and they weren't out of this world - afaik they were around 1,600GBP a month, but its been years since I read the article in question.

ByuL showed some really strong performances in teamleagues, wouldn't be surprised to see him picked up sometime pretty soon.

Still a pretty bold statement. Xeris always seems to post these one liners implying he has some deeper knowledge of Esports finances but it's really hard to believe he does. He "worked" for Fnatic when KR and Gretorp were their front line players.

I expect to see Fnatic picking up a few big name players soon to fill their roster for GSTL.


They got aLive from a full functioning TSL roster, they got Oz from a ridicolous powerful FXO lineup.

Money talks, wouldnt be surprised if they "steal" viOlet from Azubu or Jjakji from HoSeo.



AZUBU has much more money lol. And I hope jjakji will stick to his NSH brothers.


why should he? hes gaining nothing there, and he could afford his life better with a 2k paycheck each month, lol

Azubu is a one man show, pretty much like SK..


Would they even want Jjakji? He hasn't accomplished much in the past few months and let his team down a ton in the team leagues. Also Azubu runs one of the most successful LoL teams, so they have the monies, they just don't invest in SC2 that much.


They also sponsor The Last Pride in guildwars 2, my guild <3<3

Wow definitely didn't see this coming. fnatic Korea house kind of seems like a waste now. I guess ByuL wants to go back to KeSPA.

Yea I had a friend who worked for Azubu also. Didnt mean he knew anything about their finances and sat at their board meetings, etc. Just working for an organization doesnt grant you infinite knowledge about it.

it's been rumoured that Azubu is setting up a team, rather than sponsoring individuals, so they would have a SC2 team + 2 LoL teams under the Azubu name, i'm not sure if this is still their end goal, but it wouldn't surprise me, they certainly have the funds for it afaik

Well Ares is going to the same place as B-Money (BboongBboong) so ByuL might be following him or just going to another team. I imagine he would be pretty hire-able and since Fnatic doesn't have a trade lock with KeSPA he might head back to his old team.
