Fnatic launching new gaming house in LA, confirms its American Overwatch team will be based in it

Fnatic founder Sam Mathews has confirmed that the organization has started up a new gaming house in Los Angeles, California.

Speaking in an interview with Yahoo Esports, Mathews revealed that Fnatic’s Overwatch team will be based in the house.

“It’s unannounced, but our Overwatch team is American and currently they’re in Korea. Esports is based in LA really, in the US. There’s a lot of esports brands out here, game developers. So it makes quite a lot of sense to have our US-based esports team in the US capital of esports. We’re going to be announcing it… in the next month or so.”

Fnatic’s current Overwatch line-up listed on their website consists of Casey “Buds” McIlwaine, Matthew “coolmatt69” Iorio, Faraaz “Stoop” Waris, Scott “Custa” Kennedy, Oliver “Vonethil” Lager, and Robert “roflgator” Malecki.
