fnatic extend their Dota 2 department by a second team, this time from North America. Josh Tabak is now playing under the fnatic banner.

Team fnatic wants to kill two birds with one stone by aquiring Josh Tabak as it's second Dota 2 lineup: Entering the North American Dota 2 market and giving a young team the chance to shine and develop themselves.

In addition to the European roster around H4nn1, fnatic now has a North American roster for Dota 2. It consists of the five former Josh Tabak players whiteBeard, SMURF-, tabako, Rolo and DurpDurp. The team is currently not yet playing in major leagues, it managed to reach notable results in a 4PL cup and win a fnatic-hosted tournament this summer.

Statement Elroy 'Noname' Pinto, General Manager:

"Today we welcome one of the most talented and up coming Dota 2 teams from the North American scene to our Academy on Fnatic. The idea behind creating a 2nd team was to give a chance to a set of new comers who can be moulded into the future of fnatic. After talking to several potential teams and players JT stood out for us by far not just in terms of skill but also in their outlook and attitude towards eSports and Fnatic. Unfortunately this also means that PowerNet who has been busy with university will be going inactive for the foreseeable future, we greatly value his time and input in fnatic but we had to move on. JT Dota for us is the way forward and the stability they represent in the Dota 2 scene can only bring great things in the future."

Statement SMURF:

"I am greatly greatly greatly excited that we are going to be repping the Fnatic flag. Fnatic is a prestigious gaming organization and is respected by gamers all around for many reasons. With such an amazing award winning Manager by our side, and the entire Fnatic team behind us, i feel that me and my team will slowly but surely demolish any obstacle in our way to become the best Dota 2 squad in the world. Together as a team we have beat some pretty good opponents and when we lose we come back stronger then ever. We will try our best, and succeed, to make sure that we do not let down Fnatic."

Statement whiteBeard:

"Joining Fnatic is an absolute honor and I'm extremely grateful that they've given us the opportunity to play under their name. While playing for Fnatic I want to mature as a leader, a teammate, and a friend. We are still a very young team and I just want to contribute as much as I can into moving us forward. As a team, we want to attend many LAN events, one being, The International. That road is a very tedious one, but I believe that with Fnatics encouragement and belief in us our chances of succeeding are high. We will play harder, practice longer, and learn quicker with Fnatics help. I want to thank my friends, family, and Fnatic for supporting me and giving me this opportunity and I'll do my best to make you guys proud!"
