Well yah... I was mainly asking about the several separate entities of Fnatic in SC2, namely the Korean team, the one with a bunch of international players (but iirc, distinct from Fnatic academy), and now Fnatic academy?

It's hard to google only SC2 fnatic information with Dota 2 and other games so dominant.

Liquipedia?
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Fnatic

Fnatic has had Korean team, korean academy team, "international team" and academy team (seperate from korean academy)

I don't think Fnatic had separate teams for their Korean/foreigner groups like FXO once did--they had Korea-based players and some players based outside Korea, but not a formal separation. Best I can remember, FXO is the only team that actually had a formal separate "team" for their Korean players.

If Zanster and Ignite were on the academy squad then it's entirely possible that fnatic simply couldn't financially support another player on their main roster. Given his recent results either player just might be too good to remain on an academy team. Although tbh I don't know if there is a clear and industry wide definition on exactly what the difference is between the requirements and expectations on both players and teams is. I can only really assume that it's due to time spent playing the game. Could anyone please shed some light on this?

Edit: I just read that Zanster was on the main team but the question still remains for Ignite.

But Zanster so good, I don't understand :/.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Zanster been around for quite some time now, he has shown very good results and should be adressed with proper respect, the only one that's random here is you i guess!


lol relax, read his post objectively and you'll see he's "on your side", hence,

Nationalism FTW

On a side note, can anyone give me a quick breakdown on Fnatic's history? There was the Korean Fnatic team (that got disbanded?), an international one, and Fnatic academy? Are they backed by the same sponsor(s), and are they the same organization?


Fnatic is just the most well known eSport organisation existing, having a very successfull LoL-, DotA2, CS:GO-squad. They became very famous during their Swedish CS 1.6-team, which was pretty strong back then, aswell in WC3 they had a good team!

not even warnings I like.

Don't think it is that strange that they let an up and coming player go. Maybe he got more expensive or they wanted to reduce payment in the new contracts.

Wow ! This is quite the hit for fnatic.
Zanster is really a fnatic boy, he evolved so much in this team...He went from academy player to arguably the best player on the rooster. (Ignite had always been a bit slumpy to be fair so it was called for ).

Fnatic's future looks grim...I mean i had some hope even after their departure from korea because they took in players such as SaSe and Zanster/Neeb but seeing this news and the promised european GH still not here...Hope is not growing.

Surprise us like you always did fnatic and bounce back higher than ever !

There you go, if he's improved so much, maybe he wants to make some money.
