Together, we’ll continue to change industries and attitudes, through a joint passion to Never Settle.” - Carl Pei, Co-Founder of OnePlus

I’ve known Carl Pei for a long time and we’ve always shared the same mantra of challenging the norm and always looking for more - be it success with our teams, our products or as brands. We share the same values when it comes to performance and becoming the best we can possibly be, so in OnePlus we have the perfect partner to take Fnatic into a new era.” - Sam Mathews, Founder and Chairman, Fnatic
