Immortals (esports)
Immortals was a professional esports organization based in the United States owned by Immortals Gaming Club. It was founded on October 7, 2015, after the acquisition of Team 8's LCS spot.
Immortals applied for a franchise partnership with the LCS when the league began franchising in late 2017, but their application was declined by Riot Games due to financial concerns, despite being one of three North American teams to qualify for the 2017 World Championship. However, in mid-2019 they rejoined the LCS after their parent company, Immortals Gaming Club, bought out OpTic Gaming and their LCS spot before exiting again at the end of 2024.
Immortals previously competed in other esports titles, including Valorant, Apex Legends, Arena of Valor, Clash Royale, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, Super Smash Bros. and Vainglory.
Immortals is owned by Immortals Gaming Club, a collective esports and gaming company. Other than owning the team their name stems from, Immortals Gaming Club owns MIBR and the Los Angeles Valiant Overwatch League team. Investors for the group include Anschutz Entertainment Group, Peter Levin, the president of Lionsgate Interactive Venture and Games, who co-founded Nerdist; Allen Debevoise, former chairman at Machinima.com; Steve Kaplan, a co-owner of the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies; serial entrepreneur Brian Lee, entertainment industry venture capitalists Machine Shop Ventures; Neil Leibman, a co-owner of MLB's Texas Rangers, and others.
On October 7, 2015, it was announced that a new esports organization called Immortals had acquired Team 8's spot in the North American League of Legends Championship Series (NA LCS). On October 14, 2015, Dodo8 announced his retirement and moved to a management position in Immortals. On December 8 it was announced that Seong "Huni" Hoon Heo, Kim "Reignover" Yeu Jin, Eugene "Pobelter" Park, Jason "WildTurtle" Tran, and Adrian "Adrian" Ma would be joining the team's inaugural roster. Of these five players, only Pobelter remained on the 2017 roster. On December 7, 2016, Joshua "Dardoch" Hartnett joined as Immortals' starting jungler, signing a three-year contract. Top laner Lee "Flame" Ho-jong and bot laner Liyu "Cody Sun" Sun joined on December 9, 2016, while support Kim "Olleh" Joo-sung was first reported as joining the team on December 12, 2016, with a press release from Immortals officially announcing his signing on the following day.
Following a seventh-place finish in the spring split, Immortals finished second in the summer regular season and advanced all the way to the summer finals, where they were defeated by Team SoloMid. Nonetheless, Immortals qualified for the 2017 World Championship by having the most championship points at the end of the summer split.
At the 2017 World Championship, Immortals were placed in Group B of the main event group stage, along with Europe's Fnatic, South Korea's Longzhu Gaming and Vietnam's GIGABYTE Marines. After losing to Fnatic in the second round robin and one of two subsequent tiebreaker matches, Immortals were knocked out of the tournament. After failing to secure a spot in the newly franchised LCS, Immortals disbanded on November 20, 2017.
In June 2019, Immortals announced that they had rejoined the LCS after their parent company, Immortals Gaming Club, bought out OpTic Gaming and their LCS spot.
