The integration of the European elite always offers visibility with the public, the media, as well as partners and sponsors. With a franchise system and an expensive barrier to entry, we have been able to achieve greater stability: only two structures have left the ship since 2019. Schalke 04 Team headed to BDS and in 2023 Team Heretics will enter the LEC Incompatible game. These separations are still fresh in our memories and these two teams have a special place in our hearts.
On the other hand, if we go back to that time EU LCS Where there is a lot of turnover with 2 up and down During the year, some structures passed only temporarily. The former inhabitants of the European elite are now completely forgotten. This is the other side of the open leagues. Who remembers these five organizations that belong to the highest European level, to prove our point? If you have a 5/5, you might consider Part A. Encyclopedia Direct
Mysterious Monkeys, a building full of secrets
Elite Segment: 1 (2018)
Highest rating: 5 out of 5
Featured Players: Kikis, Incredible, Yuuki60
With only one segment in Europe’s major league, it’s no surprise that this team is above most cups. But at the identity level, its name and its logo had a common point. But the structure did not have time to really build and show itself. Sounds like hair in the soup at LCS AB. Incompatible game Since then, I have seen the progress of his academic team the challenger series. And since the same build cannot have two teams in the European elite, the mysterious monkeys have taken the list and the place. This was also the case during the EU LCS: acquisitions in all directions and more or less vague deals.
mysterious monkey Maybe he should have stayed at the German national level. Results in EU LCS were disastrous with 2 wins and 11 losses. Later, the organization will be renamed a temporary game Rest of the Premier League before continuing WAVE Esports.
aaa team, the best always comes first
Elite Segment: 1 (2013)
Best rating: 5/6 out of 8
Outstanding Actors: Shlaya, Nono, Dudi
Against All Authority, abbreviated as AAA, now an esports news site. Still, there was a time when the organization had esports teams and had a big adventure early in the scene in League of Legends. Oh so joined worlds 1 season and the team lost 1-2 against Fnatic and even reached the final. That’s why we didn’t do anything to have the world champion in the France team with such players. yellow star and SOAZ. In European Elite, the construction was also for the first segment of the EU LCS in 2013. It did not qualify for the playoffs. Unfortunately, the bottom 4 of the league (half of the participants) were sent to the promotion tournament. The France team faced 0-3 seconds sinners never sleepthe future lemonades by Nukeduk. Thus, after a very short preface, the team’s history in the European top flight came to an end.
Later, we saw AA again on the French scene and as always this history of the scene likes to have a great debut. attended the opening LFL In 2019, before leaving the premises for lack of funds.
PIN, Vanished Ninjas
Elite segments: 2 (2013 and 2017)
Best result: 6 out of 8.
Featured Players: Bjergsen, Nagne, promisQ
NIP is definitely a name that CS:GO fans like. This legendary build is one of the most important in the FPS scene and has won many trophies. The balance is more delicate in League of Legends. Two years apart, he participated in the highest European championship. In 2013, as in 2017, the results were often disappointing and the Ninjas never really established themselves as a significant team. Both times, the adventure turns badly with relegation. Under these circumstances, it’s hard to stay in memory, especially compared to the build inheritance in CS.
But a new adventure can be written for NIP in LoL. Connected structure V5 He may well rise in the LPL and rise from the ashes. The name change is not yet complete, but should be soon. It should be noted that the team also managed to perform well on Europe’s smaller stage, EUM.
Copenhagen Wolves didn’t catch the pack
Elite segments: 5 (2013-2015)
Best results: 5/6 out of 10
Featured Players: Bjergsen, Svenskeren, Forgiven, Airwaks, Woolite
Once upon a time, Copenhagen Wolves has a somewhat special profile in our selection. With 5 segments in mind, we imagine that the Danish package managed to attract enough attention to be remembered… Denmark She always managed to show a lot of talent. But in the end, the building spent most of its history in the shadows. With limited means and mediocre results, we imagine that the youngest like the Mysterious Monkeys have never heard of this team.
Also note that its last appearance in the EU LCS was in 2015. After the fall of relegation to the 2nd league, the structure took its place. borderthen went out of business in 2017. It’s hard to build history and heritage from there.
Millennium, another French team
Elite Segments: 2 (2014)
Best result: 6 out of 8.
Featured Players: kev1, Kerp, Jree
Without a bit of jingoism, we couldn’t get past Europe’s forgotten elite teams. millennium merged with the LCS with the purchase of a slot somewhere in the spring of 2014. spare team and its list. The adventure lasted a year and although the building was French, the three colors were not played with the Millenium during this period. Millennium could have been on the European scene for a long time, but the team failed twice. He first lost to Unicorns of Love (2-3) in the promotional tournament and then made his debut for Giants Gaming in the expansion tournament. When it shouldn’t, it shouldn’t, and the build never managed to bounce back despite multiple attempts.
In France and before the creation of the ERL model, the Millennium had good results in LANs. The team also participated in the first EUM and qualified for the quarter-finals. But in 2018, the eSports division disappeared.
