UK Valorant streamer Meg (aka megsoundslikeegg) has joined London-based esports organisation Fnatic, to become Fnatic Meg.
The self-proclaimed ‘Kylie Minogue of esports’ (according to her Twitter bio!) has 12,000 followers on the megsoundslikeeggg Twitch channel, as well as some 85,000 followers and 3.8m likes on TikTok.
The Fnatic Meg announcement was made in a promotional video on the Fnatic Twitter account earlier this week – and Meg also revealed the news live on her stream.
In the video, she appeared alongside members of the esports organisation’s Valorant team including star UK player Boaster, who eagerly puts himself forward to be a part of her idea for ‘Valorant: The Musical’.
Meg flew out to Fnatic’s Berlin facility to film the video.
Fnatic Meg is one of several UK Valorant content creators and players who have risen to the fore over the past few years, and she also has a partnership with make-up and skincare brand Charlotte Tilbury.
Meg has also previously worked with The Goose House and their EU Birds if Prey tournaments, as has Tundra streamer Jorhdys.
Fnatic Meg on joining the org: ‘It doesn’t feel real!’
Meg revealed her Fnatic jersey on stream under a layer of different clothes, and celebrated with a ‘sheesh’, while Fnatic gifted a bunch of subs in Meg’s chat.
Fnatic Meg said on stream: “Guys, it does not feel real. I am Fnatic Meg, motherfuckers! I’m literally part of Fnatic, I have joined Fnatic as a content creator. It is unreal!
“This is my emblem now [pointing to the Fnatic logo on her jersey], my home. I can’t believe it. I was streaming when Fnatic reached out to me, and to contain my excitement on stream was very hard.”
Fnatic Meg also thanked her viewers and spoke about the organisation’s Valorant team, saying: “Fnatic’s team right now is stacked, we’re going to win everything.”
The news comes as Fnatic’s Apex Legends team are bootcamping at the Red Bull Gaming Sphere ahead of ALGS in London.
