History[]
Fnatic Academy was officially formed in March 2013 by the Fnatic organization to compete in the Season 3 European Challenger Circuit. Fnatic originally announced their intention of forming a second team in late December 2012 after they announced that Rekkles would not be able to compete on the main Fnatic team in the Season 3 European Championship Series. The team existed until April 2013, when they disbanded.
In January 2015, Fnatic once again formed a second team, this time to compete in the 2015 EUCS Spring Qualifier. The initial roster included Kektz, XoYnUzi, avenuee, Scottlol, and NoXiAK, the roster of ranked 5s team PLATINRUSHH.[1] They were knocked out in the semifinals of the tournament by Different Dimension.

Fnatic Academy was re-created for the 2016 Summer EUCS Open Qualifier, built around support Klaj, formerly the support of the main Fnatic roster.
2019 Season[]
On December 12, 2018, it was confirmed that the team will play in the UK League 2019.[2]
