Fnatic's League of Legends team competes in the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) and is one of the most successful organisations in the league. The team won the first League of Legends World Championship in 2011, and held the record for most LEC titles from 2011 to 2020.
Fnatic's Counter-Strike team, which has traditionally been located in Sweden, won the first ever CS:GO Major in 2013 and two more between 2013 and 2015.[4] After a series of poor results dating back to the start of 2021, Fnatic made a move towards an international roster for the first time since 2013.[5][6]
The organisation has claimed more than 200 championship victories across 30 different games since its inception in 2004, with plans to add a team in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang in 2024. According to Forbes, Fnatic is worth $260 million (as of 2022[update]) and is among the top 10 most valuable esports companies.[7]
