Fnatic Signs SUMN FC Roster, Enters European VALORANT Scene
Fnatic has officially entered the European VALORANT scene by signing the entire SUMN FC roster. This move comes after SUMN FC’s impressive performance, including a second-place finish in First Strike Europe.
The squad, led by Jake “Boaster” Howlett, has been making waves in EU competitions since its formation in August. The roster also includes Domagoj “Doma” Fancev, James “Mistic” Orfila, Muhammad “Moe40” Hariff, and Kostas “tsack” Theodoropoulos, along with coach Jacob “mini” Harris.
“We’re thrilled to join VALORANT,” said Fnatic CGO Patrik “cArn” Sättermon. “Fans have been asking for this, and we’ve taken our time to find a roster that aligns with our goal of competing for top titles in every game we enter.”
After their breakout performance at First Strike Europe, SUMN FC gained attention as the standout team in EU’s free agent pool, leading to Fnatic’s decision to sign them.
“These players have proven their talent in recent months, competing against the best in Europe without the support of an organization or salary,” said Fnatic VALORANT team director Colin Johnson. “With Fnatic’s support, we aim to push them to the next level and help them win every tournament they compete in.”
