About Us
Our Story
Speed wins.
In esports, information moves fast. A leaked roster change can reshape betting odds in minutes. A transfer rumor can trend worldwide before most outlets even start writing. The teams and fans who know first have the advantage — and that’s exactly who we serve.
FRAGWIRE was built for the FPS community: Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, and everything that moves at 128 tick. We don’t do long reads. We don’t do “explainers.” We break news — verified, sourced, and published before anyone else.
Our editorial team operates out of Berlin, with contributors across Turkey, Poland, and the Middle East. Four time zones. One mission: when something happens, FRAGWIRE is already live.
We’ve been cited by HLTV. We’ve broken stories that reshuffled rosters. And we’re just getting started.
First. Fastest. Fraggers.
