We are once again offering you the chance to ask a Fnatic all your questions.
After we were overwhelmed with questions at the last ASK Fnatic edition, we are once again offering you the chance to ask a Fnatic member all your questions you ever wanted to know about him.
So fasten your seatbelts as this time ASK Fnatic features the founder, the boss, the godfather of FnaticRaidCall or simply, Sam Mathews. Yeah, you heard right! You get the chance to ask our Managing Director all your questions and he is very thrilled to answer the best ones! May it be about Fnatic, his private life, dancing career or his gaming experiences.
The rules are the same every time. You are only allowed to ask one question, if we get more than 20 questions we will pick the best ones. So make sure you choose wisely and read the other questions, so we won't have the same question twice.
You will have time to ask your questions until Friday, 24th February, 20:00 CET. The answers will then be up by Monday. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead, and ask all your questions!

Hi Sam, i want to know only one thing. What do you feel, that you have the best esport team and staff on world ? :)
RESPECT !
1. Why did you chose e-sports as your career? Do your parents were supportive about your choice? How did you plan you career in e-sports? How come you zero in on name "fnatic" ?
2. Now with all the success you have achieved now how do you feel about all those efforts you put in (like you had to sell your car)? Nostalgia?
3. Did you ever have any second thoughts when you entrusted dsn to make a new revitalized fnatic 1.6 CS team (may be the decision could backfire)?
4. We know you all (carn,f0rest,dsn,archi,ins) shared good rapport. Will you kindly elaborate your good relationship?
5. How is the atmosphere in fnatic organization? What it takes to be a "fnatic"?
I think its enough though i have plenty more.. ;P
Can we get another documentary going about the modern day FnaticRC? :D :D
That would be swell... And where can I watch the old one?

hey, so what are you? like where are you from kinda thing. Whats fnatic? an australian organization or a british organization?
First of all, I admire what you've done with FNATIC. Second of all, I hope that you will answer the following:
My one question:
- How is the infrastructure in FNATIC?
The other questions I got:
- How does a day for Sam Mathews look like?
- Will we ever see a CS:S team in FNATIC again? If no, why not?
- We have all read the "management"-page here at Fnatic.com, but how would you describe your work duties?
- Who are working from the FNATIC office?
- Are you able to get a stable income from your work in FNATIC, or do you also need to work with Neverbland?
- If yes is the answer to the question above: when did you realize that FNATIC was going somewhere?
... I think that was everything :-)
What do you feel is in the future for FNATIC (e.g. cs go)?
When will the FnaticRC Halo team see you again? ;)
Hi, I'm wondering what you did when you first founded Fnatic, how did you market yourself on the esport scen how did you recruit players and basics about how you started out some tips and stepping stones would be nice, I'm myself interested in starting some form of gaming organisation.

Dear Sam,
Please give a hint or two to a manager of a good team from a distant country: Uzbekistan, especially on how to find good sponsors.
My team is called Storm, proceeded to top 5 the ASUS tournament once and has been a great threat in Central Asia for over three years for now.
Our country lacks good internet and because of the distance our best chance to play is against Russians with ping 50-60. Our country lacks representative offices of big hardware and/or software companies and the others are really hard to convince about the sponsorship even if we are the best team in the country.
Can you give some hints on what would YOU do in my place?)
Thank you very much for even reading this :) I would appreciate any answer, thanks again.
p.s. You may remember my team beating Na'Vi 16-13 on de_nuke on ASUS Spring 2011. Here is a video of our best player performing with AWP - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFmWvOceNFI&feature=player_embedded
Hello, Sam.
Fnatic Team has acquired a Danish Counter-Strike player, Michael "Friis" Jorgensen. Then, SK Gaming acquires a Danish Counter-Strike player, Martin Alexander "trace" Bang Heldt. Not to mention, both Friis and trace are from Denmark. It may sound awkward but do you personally think it is a coincidence, or do you think that SK Gaming is copying Fnatic Team?
Good Day Sam... Just like to COngrat Fnatic on all their success over the years.
I have just 2 questions regarding
1. How does a team go professional?
2. How does a player who thinks he is worth something get recognized by the "BIG" eSports teams in the world?
I dont get fnatic logo, can you explain?
It is a very well endowed man.
how did you feel when you got dumped by f0rest & get_right over SK ?
1) How many full time staff currently work in the Fnatic offices in London?
2) What is a typical day for Sam Mathews?
3) How much time does overseeing Fnatic take of your day and what other projects do you manage your time with.
What kind of system is used to control the web-site/community?
Hi Sam,
1) Can you please tell us which are the most important "keys" to start a good e-sports organization?
2) Do you think it's important to study economics stuff and what part you must know to be a good manager?
3) Where can i learn more about "build an e-sports organization"? (this question it's really important for me)
Thank you so much!
