After constantly impressive results from their Unreal Tournament, Painkiller, and probably soon from their recently acquired Warcraft III squad, it can only be exciting to see what this new team can do. They appeared this weekend at Dreamhack for the Swedish ESWC Qualifier, as team "M&M".
So for those who don't remember the roster for M&M, here's fnatic's new CS lineup:
Abdiwahab 'Megaton' Mohamed
Magnus 'Magix' Berndtsson
Joergen 'XeqtR' Johannessen
Benjamin 'diGitaL' Hildén
Youcef 'solido' Riahi
XeqtR was looking for a new team to play in after NoA recently announced that they would be taking a "break", Magix and Megaton have been playing together for years, in teams such as matrix, ownage, TAG, and SSV Lehnitz, along with Solido. diGitaL has always played in world class teams such as GameOnline, DSky and recently merced for SSV in Brazil.
Official announcement from the fnatic management:
"Fnatic Pty Ltd are proud to announce the addition of another squad to their already world beating collection of players. This new team will be representing Fnatic in the most popular action game in the world, Counter-Strike, a title which still dominates the competitive gaming landscape in the West."
Benjamin 'diGitaL' Hildén - team leader of the newly found fnatic CS squad had the following to say:
"I'm really excited to be the team leader of Fnatic.cs, and I'm looking forward to playing with these guys in the upcoming events having fnatic behind us. The only thing that could get me back to gaming was a offer from a great organisation like Fnatic and I'm happy to postpone my army for these guys."
We wish the new squad, and the whole of the fnatic organisation the best of luck at their upcoming events!
