Fnatic starts international CSGO roster as ALEX and mezii join DreamhackUK-based esports organization Fnatic has announced the signings of Alex \u201cALEX\u201d McMeekin and William \u201cmezii\u201d Merriman to their CSGO roster. Fnatic, who have pretty much always fielded an all-Swedish roster in Counter-Strike, are giving their squad some British flare with the two new players. ALEX, formerly of Cloud9 and Vitality, joins following an inactive spell after his departure from C9 earlier in 2021. There were even rumors he might move to Valorant, but those are quashed now. Meanwhile mezii, also formerly of Cloud9, joins from Team Endpoint. The start of something new.
