This is Fnatic’s first playing jersey sponsorship deal in its 14-year history.

The tenure of the deal is not yet confirmed, but it is believed to be a “long-term” sponsorship deal. Designs for the jerseys were revealed at the organisation’s “Legends in Action Live” event in Berlin.

The event also served as a way for fans to get to know Fnatic’s League of Legends roster before the League of Legends European Championship (LEC) begins on January 19. Fnatics is one of 10 teams to take part in the LEC in its first year since being rebranded from the European LoL Championship Series.
