A Moment with Sam Mathews, Co-founder & Chairman, FNATIC

This week Seamus sits down with Sam Mathews, co-founder and Chairman of FNATIC – one of the world's biggest and longest running esports teams, with top-tier teams across CS:GO, League of Legends, Rainbow 6 Siege, and more.

One of the longest-running team brands in the esports scene, FNATIC was founded by Australian Sam Mathews and his mother Anne, so I wanted to get a better sense of his story of the team and its journey.

Sam’s a busy man so thankfully diaries were able to align and we had a great half hour chat about everything from selling a car to finance the team in the earliest days through to what the future holds.
