Fnatic

Fnatic is a Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) esports organization from the United Kingdom, competing in the European region. Founded in 2004, the organization fields its CS2 team under the in-game leadership of fear, while its coaching staff is headed by Independent. Fnatic's titles include the CPL Winter Championship 2006, Intel Extreme Masters Season III in 2009, DreamHack Winter 2013, ESL One: Katowice 2015, and ESL One: Cologne 2015. The roster has changed often in recent years. In early 2025 fear was signed as in-game leader and Burmylov was acquired, while casle joined as coach. Over the following months the team cycled through several players, including jambo, CYPHER, jackasmo, maden, and Br4tkO, and Independent was promoted from interim to permanent head coach in mid-2025. Further changes in 2026 brought in cairne and mazay, and a number of earlier players left the organization or were moved to other teams. The team's recent events include Stake Ranked Episode 4 and Episode 5, Stake Pulse Beat II and Beat III, ESL Pro League Season 20, and the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024. The most recent entry in the roster timeline is the release of Br4tkO on October 15, 2026. Earlier in 2026, mazay was brought in as his replacement, and cairne and jackasmo were also added. The timeline does not establish a complete current lineup beyond these most recent additions, and the coaching staff remains under Independent.
