FNC got into active eSports in 2006 after acquiring a World of Warcraft (WoW) team. The roster included Vo0, TooGood, and Ztrider, three of the best players at the time. The trio excelled in all top-tier competitions and bagged three titles. In the following year, Fnatic assembled a DotA team and quickly rose to be one of the fastest-growing eSports brands by adding several other top-rated esports divisions.
