Gretorp Joins SC2 Team: FnaticMSI

Prominent SC1/SC2 gamer, commentator and an amazing friend of GosuGamer's: Gretorp, has joined one of the top professional gaming teams, FnaticMSI

From a statement issued from FnaticMSI:





The FnaticMSI Starcraft 2 team has been looking extremely strong, with many talented gaming titans on their roster, including: Xeris, KawaiiRice, and PrAeToR; and now Gretorp!

We're adding Andre who is probably famous in the community as Gretorp. He has been around for a while in the scene and has contributed to the community in terms of stream and commentary for a long time now. I got a very unique vibe from Andre when I first spoke to him and I believe he can bring a lot to the table and as such add more value to our team. Welcome Andre!"” - FnaticMSI General Manager, Elroy 'Noname' Pinto

I also got to sit down with the man, Gretorp himself for a short interview to get some of his thoughts.

How did you feel when you were contacted by FnaticMSI as the newest addition to their SC2 team?
It was euphoric I couldn't believe such a respectable and strong team would ask me to be part of them! Growing up in the e-sports scene, FnaticMSI has always been one of the strongest teams, and the team to be in. I couldn't have been happier when they contacted me, and to this day I still get a bit giddy when I think of how lucky I am ^^!

I know you've only recently joined, but what do you think is the best part of joining a professional gaming team?
The greatest part of joining a professional team is, by far, the people that you meet and how fast you actually get better with those type of people. In Fnatic, there is so much accessibility to talk to players, which makes it extremely easy to ask them about anything! Of course the nicknacks are cool, but the players are definitely the best part about it all :-) Professional teams attract the best, and communicating with the best is, well, the most awesomest coolest :D!!!!

Are we going to be seeing a lot more of you in the competitive scene now? :]
Without a doubt! I have definitely been taking a more passive role in the tournaments, doing more streaming, and creating episodes for the community. Although some of that stuff has to be replaced by participating in tournaments, I definitely look forward to participating in more tournaments. But rest assured, I will continue streaming, making episodes, and casting without a doubt!

I'm sure a lot of your fans will be both extremely excited and relieved to hear that!

Alright, to wrap things up: Any last thoughts, shoutouts or things you'd like to say to all the Gretorp fans out there?
Thank you everyone for all of your support! I am more than grateful and humbled by all the support that is given to me through forums, messages, and pms. I hope the streams, episodes, and casts I am involved will continue in being helpful and as such I will continue their production Thank you so much to gosugamers and their staff for being awesome, along with teamliquid.net as well as they have been great! Finally a very special thank you to FnaticMSI for giving me this wonderful opportunity. Expect great things from me as I will do my absolute best to do just that

GLHF Gretorp! And we hope to see you "bopping" even more of "them clowns!"
