Bringing together a powerful mix of established athletes, promising rookies, and experienced coaching staff alongside top-of-the-range infrastructure and performance centers.

Perkz, Alphari, and Carzzy join Labros “Labrov” Papoutsakis and Oskar “Selfmade” Boderek to form an explosive line-up, ready to shake up and fight their way to the top of the European scene. The signing of Perkz represents one of the most iconic League of Legends free agency moves to date.
