It's time for the big Grand finals of the WPL, today at 17 CET, the Warcraft 3 teams of fnatic and Serious-Gaming will compete in one of the best leagues for Warcraft 3 in Europe. The Gaming League' WPL finals are up on us and Serious needs to win 2 clanwars to become champions, fnatic on the other hand needs one clanwar to become champions.

UPDATE:

fnatic.wc3 lost the first game very closely, but took the second game convincingly and are crowned the new WPL Champions! A round of applause for them!

That's right! Our Counter-Strike 1.6 AWP legend Harley "dsn" Örwall wants YOU!... to tell him what he should write his upcoming article on, however, there is a catch!

In his latest blog, fittingly called "What Do You Want to Know About Counter-Strike?," Harley explains that he wants you to be the judge on what he should write about in his next article!

The catch is, more than expected, that it has to be related to Counter-Strike but that doesn't stop you from being creative in your suggestions that you can submit to Harley.

The topic is Counter-Strike and you can write any CS related suggestions in the comments and I'll pick the idea I find the most interesting. It can be anything from living your life playing computer games to more game specific guides.

- Harley "dsn" Örwall

So, why not get going and tell him what you want to know about?!

The time has come for our beloved Indian Elroy "Noname" Pinto, also known as "Apu Nahasapeemapetilon" to celebrate his 22nd birthday under the Fnatic Team colours!

Elroy joined us in April last year as Head of WarCraft III content for the website and since his addition, he has not only grown from his already widely known stature but he has also become a favourite amongst Fnatic fans as well as holding the role of WarCraft III Manager.

An expert in the field of all things WarCraft, Elroy manages the team on a day-to-day basis whilst also continuing his trademark interviews with WarCraft stars from across the globe, which has seen him nominated twice for "Scene Journalist of the Year" in the eSports Award.

In the present day however, Elroy is situated in the Fnatic Team Headquarters located in Southampton, United Kingdom where he plays a vital role for our organisation, helping out with the daily tasks as well as it being a learning curve with a vast transition between cultures.

We would like you to join us in congratulating Elroy in reaching the daunting age that is 22 and wish him all the best for the future and as long as he works for the Fnatic Team!

Once again we see Fnatic.CoD4 in action, this time playing in the Live2Win Lower Bracket Round Three. Tonights opponents on Crossfire are Czech side, nEophyte, who beat Core89 in their last round.

Last season, Fnatic finished second in the L2W championships, having to fight it through the Lower Bracket to reach the final. So being in the 'LB' isnt an alien scenario to the Swedes, but it is less than ideal with their online form having been indifferent.

nEophyte also have alot to prove after being knocked into the lower bracket by benelux team TeK-9. Getting knocked out of the tournament by Fnatic tonight (match starting at 21:30CET) would be a big blow for the Czechs who are believed to have a potentially strong lineup.

Score overview

L2W Lower Bracket Round 3

	Team	1st Half	2nd Half	Result

	nEophyte	09	04	13

Fnatic: mintR - Tidde! - odyx - LINQAN - zEm

nEophyte: trunk - ivanhoee - finte - trume - NeX

Today the eSports Award announced that they will add four new catagories to their awardlist, including Call of Duty 4.

Nominated for the award "Best Call of Duty 4 Player" is Fnatic's very own Daniel "Tidde" Asp! After performing strong in recent online events and leaving a great impression at offline events such as CDC4, i34 and CGS LAN, Asp is widely regarded as one of the Best CoD4 players and deserving of the nomination.

However, the jury will decide who will win the award and for further details check out the eSports Awards website or Read the Full story to see who else is nominated!

At long last we have managed to get everything in order for the video fest begins, we have 3 kinds of videos for your exclusive fnatic TV viewing pleasure. Please forgive the poor quality of some of the videos, it was very impromptu coverage, expect polished videos from future events!

First up are the video interviews done by Elroy "Noname" Pinto at ESWC Masters till the final day. You can find them later in the post along with many other videos.

There's also Lloyd "devine" Jones who filmed the Fnatic Counter-Strike 1.6 team playing in some of their matches including the stage match versus Made in Brazil!

Lastly we have our Warcraft 3 organiser Patrick "Spittie" Bordier who managed to video blog frequently from the event at important junctures. It's more Warcraft 3 oriented, so be advised for jokes on WC3 players!

Harley "dsn" Örwall, the ace Counter Strike player has blogged about the finals between mTw and fnatic from the ESWC Masters of Paris tournament. The finals weren't so favorable for the fnatics, with mTw showcasing their dominance in recent tournaments with an emphatic victory.

Here's a snippet:

And there they sat again, five fallen warriors. Second place, again. One more final played in front of the magnificent Bercy crowd, resulting in a very anti-climatic ending for a team that throughout the tournament played inspiring and with a lot of heart. “They seem to have a problem with the Danish team”, a man to my right muttered. I quickly nodded. “Next time, they will beat them next time”, I said, trying to imagine what they felt after the very one-sided final.

Today we are announcing the sad departure of one of our long time players and recent champion of the ESWC Masters, the Belarussian star Alexey "cypher" Yushanevsky. Alas this news comes as a shock to most people howver Alex and Fnatic are parting ways very much as friends, but due to the language barier and Alex’s desire to play with his long time friend and also quake prodigy Av3k, Alex will join the rising team Serious Gaming.

Alex and Fnatic have had a long a healthy relationship, we picked him up after his great 2nd place finish at ESWC 2006 at Paris Bercy, so in a way it is fitting that after two years he parts us as champion of ESWC 2008 at Paris Bercy. Over the years he has competed in many events for us including WSVG tournaments in 2007, iSeries quake tournaments and finally more local tournaments with ASUS in Russia.

Sam "zr0" Mathews managing director of fnatic:

Of course Fnatic and I are upset to be losing such a talented and skilful player, as well as a member of our tight team, however it is important to always play for fun, and the ability to go and play alongside his long time friend and travel with him was an opportunity that Cypher wanted to take. We part on good terms and I expect serious gaming to take very good care of him! However with the rise of Quake Live as a possible future esports game, we will look to take on a new quake player in the very near future!

Alex for his part had this to say about his decision:

I was really glad and proud that I was with fnatic. This team has given me a a lot and I will never forget it. They were the first who found me and gave me my motivation to continue playing quake and I have learnt a lot in these 2 years and I am very happy that fnatic was near me this all time. But I left for few reasons, the main one being to be able to practise with av3k from Serious-gaming, and I really hope that my decision is the right one I want to give a big thank you to the entire fnatic team who take care of me and were good friends with me!

We would like to thank him for his time in fnatic and all the loving memories we have of him together with us. We would also like to wish him the best of luck in the ESWC Grand Finals, and Gamegune.
