The organisation previously had a League of Legends team competing in the Vietnam Championship Series (VCS), the highest level of competitive League of Legends in the country. The team became VCS champions (a title held only by the GIGABYTE Marines at the time) on 7 April 2018, a feat accomplished during their first appearance in the league. This qualified them for the 2018 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), where they performed above expectations against other more well-known international teams.[4]
