Just a few months after the disbandement of their former team, the well known organisation fnatic have decided to re-unite their ties with the RTS world by taking in the South Korean WC3 team formerly known as Clan Go. The lineup boasts some of the best players from Korea such as former MeetYourMakers players
Shy and
FoCuS, along with up-and-coming talents such as
Kei and
Yange.
The organisation left the WC3 scene on somewhat of a sour note previously, when they decided to remove their team featuring top-european players such as XyLegan and Satiini after a spate of bad results and various controversies including their players.
At the time WC3 players were deemed to be too expensive to maintain whilst not providing a return on investment for the organisation. However with the move over to Asia, where living costs are significantly cheaper, this problem could have been resolved.

Statment fnatic.zr0, www.fnatic.com: "Well what can I say.. we couldn't stay away for too long.. Fnatic didn't feel right without a warcraft 3 team so we have decided to step right back up to the plate with a team of excellence in the hub of all RTS KOREA! I am very excited and pleased to announce We Are Go as well as Shy and Focus into the arms of FNATIC!
I look forward to a long future in RTS especially with Starcraft 2 around the corner, starting again now with this great team of friends, who I think will fit perfectly within fnatic. They play for each other and now they will play for each other within a larger family! Welcome aboard and we look forward to a strong gosu career for each of you in fnatic ^^ yes?"
Statement fnatic.Annaky, www.fnatic.com: "I would like to welcome into the Fnatic fold a great new squad of fantastic Korean Warcraft 3 players. We have no doubt that they will fit within the ideology of the big Fnatic family.We look forward to them meeting our ideals of being the best in the world. These young passionate players not only share their dedication and, skills, but they also nurture a close friendship. The perfect profile for a true Fnatic team."
Statement fnatic.Noname, www.fnatic.com: "It's been exactly 4 months since we shut down Warcraft 3 and ended our European team. Today marks a new beginning in the chapter of Warcraft 3 in Fnatic. In 4 months we've waited and watched the scene change and when the time was right things just fell into place and it's all complete now. We have many things planned for this new team but our main goal is to reach the finals of every and any event we attend. We're going for #1! Lastly - We are all HappY!"
