Biography

2014 Season

Nguyễn "Slay" Ngọc Hùng joined Hanoi Fate as a flexible player to play Top, Jungle and AD carry in the 2014 Vietnam Championship Series A Spring. Hanoi Fate would finish the series 3rd, with a 9-5 record to secure the final place in the 2014 GPL Summer Qualifiers/Vietnamese Qualifier, and would earn the team a sponsorship from G5 E-Sport. At the Qualifier, Hanoi Fate would finish 3rd, with a 1-1-1 record, failing to gain a spot in the 2014 GPL Summer.

In the 2014 Vietnam Championship Series A Summer, Slay was able to focus purely on the AD role, improving the teams play rapidly, allowing the team to secure first place with a 1st place regular season result with a 9-3-2 record. Just days before the GPL Qualifier, the team would lose their sponsorship from G5 E-Sport. In the GPL Qualifier group stage the Fate would place joint 1st with a 3-1 record in their group, they therefore qualified to the GPL 2015 Spring.

2015 Season

In the round of 16 group stage Hanoi Fate would qualify in 2nd in their group with a 4-2 record, however Slay play 3 roles. This would hinder teams performance as they consistently swapped roles, winning just one of 12 games in the 2nd group stage and being eliminated with a top 8 finish. Seeing the mistake of the Spring Hanoi Fate once again returned to players with a single role, Slay would play top lane in all games of both the 2015 GPL Summer and the 2015 Vietnam Championship Series A Summer.

In the 2015 Vietnam Championship Series A Summer the Hanoi Fate finished in joint 3rd, with a 21-9 record, which was unbroken by a single round robin tiebreaker between 3 teams. All of which would have qualified to the GPL 2016 Spring if the format had remained the same In the 2015 GPL Summer the Hanoi Fate were seeded due to their top 8 finish. This allowed them a 1st place 2-1-0 result in the first group stage. However the team would fall in the second group stage again, with a 6th place finish with a 3-4 record. In the 2015 Capital Invitational Tournament Slay would return to AD, the team finished in 3rd with a 1-2 record.

2016 Season

Slay would join the Saigon Jokers as an AD player, sharing time with Celebrity, to compete in the VCS 2016 Spring. After losing the first game of the split the Saigon Jokers won 12 consecutive games, ending the split in 1st with a 15-3 record. In playoffs the Jokers would win two 5 game series against Boba Marines and Full Louis to qualify for the GPL 2016 Spring. The team struggled in the group stage, finishing joint third with a 3-2 record. Despite facing a team that they had lost to in the group stage in both of their best of 5 series they qualified to the 2016 International Wildcard Invitational.

In the 2016 IWCI group stage the jokers would finish 4th, with a 4-3 record. In the bracket stage Slay would lose his first BO5 with the Jokers losing 3-0 to eventual winner and Mid-Season Invitational representative SuperMassive eSports. Slay would continue to share time with Celebrity in the VCS 2016 Summer and again would achieve 1st place with a 10-7-1 record. In the VCS A/2016 Season/Summer Playoffs the Jokers would sweep both series 3-0. Slay would not play any part in the teams GPL/2016 Season/Summer victory or their 0-7 collapse in the 2016 International Wildcard Qualifier. Due to the Jokers being disbanded, Slay joined the GIGABYTE Marines.

2017 Season

The Marines would dominate the VCS A/2017 Season/Spring Season with a 12-0 record only losing 3 games in the regular season, in the VCS 2017 Spring Playoffs they would defeat Young Generation 3-0 to qualify for the GPL/2017 Season/Spring. The Marines would be even more dominant in the GPL, winning the final 3-0 and qualifying for the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational. At MSI, the Marines ended the Play-In group stage at 1st place, with a 5-1 record, only dropping a game against, Virtus.pro. The team then faced Team SoloMid and won the first 2 games of the series, but were reverse swept, ending the match at 2-3. They then defeated SuperMassive eSports in the 3rd round (3-1) to make it to the Group Stage. Although the team failed to make it out of the Group Stage with a 6th place finish and 3-7 result, they still managed to secure a Group Stage spot for the GPL region at the 2017 Season World Championship.

After the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational roster, Slay was removed from the roster, and would join Cherry Esports under the IGN "Slayer" as a top laner. The team would have a poor performance, barely avoiding relegation in 6th while having a 4-10 record. Slay returned to the AD role, joining the newly formed EVOS Esports who qualified through the VCS 2018 Summer Promotion losing just one game.

2018 Season

With Slay back in the AD role EVOS Esports would dominate the regular split with a 12-2 record, in Playoffs Slay would beat his former team in a 5 game series to both qualify for the 2018 Mid-Season Invitational and become Vietnam's representative for the 2018 Asian Games. At MSI, EVOS Esports were seeded into the 2nd round, only needing to beat SuperMassive eSports to qualify to the main event. At the main event EVOS Esports would finish 6th with a 2-8 record.

Biography

After spending time playing Warcraft 3 and DOTA, Jankos decided to take up League of Legends in Season 1. Due to the fact that he began playing on the NA server from his native Poland, he could not play competitively for a considerable time. After praise and encouragement from IWillDominate, Jankos decided to start playing on the EU server along with his friends.

Season 3

After impressing in soloqueue, Jankos soon found himself on the roster of Team Mistral. The team went on to place 3rd at the LCS Summer Promotion Qualifier - Lille.

Soon after this, Jankos was picked up by GF-Gaming along with the rest of the Team Mistral roster. After success in a number of Go4LoL tournaments, Jankos went on to join H2k-Gaming, where he met Overpow and VandeR.

Soon after joining H2k, Jankos and his new team won DreamHack Bucharest 2013, beating the Copenhagen Wolves in the final. The team also managed to qualify for the Spring Promotion via the 1st WellPlayed Qualifier. The roster was then picked up by GF-Gaming, Jankos' former team, but was released just a week later. The team decided to reform as Kiedyś Miałem Team, and went on to finish 2nd at DreamHack Winter 2013. Jankos and the team participated in the Spring Promotion using the spot they had earned with with H2k. The team finished 3rd in their group, and went on to win their promotion matchup against Ninjas in Pyjamas.

2014 Season

Now with a spot in the upcoming Spring Split, Jankos and the rest of the roster were signed by Team ROCCAT.

The team's first split in the LCS was a huge success. ROCCAT spent 3 weeks at the top of the standings table mid-split, but results tailed off slightly towards the end of the split. The team ended up finishing 4th behind Alliance, securing themselves a spot in the Spring Playoffs.

ROCCAT performed well in the Spring Playoffs, but lost to SK Gaming in the semifinals. The team went on to finish in 3rd place after beating Alliance in the third-place match.

The Summer Split was a struggle for ROCCAT, with the team not once making it out of the bottom 3 of the standings table. A frustrating few weeks at the start of the split were followed by an overall improvement in the team's performances. Jankos managed to pick up a weekly MVP award for Week 8, specifically for his performances on Lee SinSquare.pngLee Sin and ViSquare.pngVi against SK Gaming and Alliance respectively. Despite their struggles, ROCCAT placed 6th overall, clinching a place at the Summer Playoffs.

The playoffs saw the team raise their game considerably. A quarterfinal win over SUPA HOT CREW resulted in a semifinal matchup against Fnatic. The series was unexpectedly tight, with ROCCAT coming close but eventually losing 3-2 and missing out on qualification for the World Championship. A third-place match loss against SK Gaming meant that ROCCAT finished 4th overall.

2015 Season

Due to Fnatic being unable to attend IEM Cologne, Jankos and ROCCAT took their place at the tournament. The team were knocked out in the semifinals, losing to Counter Logic Gaming.

Jankos and the team had an unsuccessful LCS Spring Split, finishing the regular season in 8th place, which meant that they would play in the Summer Promotion. Here, the team faced Copenhagen Wolves Academy and came out victorious, securing their spot in the Summer Split.

The Summer Split itself was far more successful for Jankos and the team, finishing the regular season in 5th place partly thanks to Jankos' impressive performances on a number of champions. This meant they would qualify for the Summer Playoffs, where the team were beaten in the quarterfinals by Unicorns Of Love, meaning that they would pick up 20 Championship Points and go on to play in the 2015 Season Europe Regional Finals. Team ROCCAT went on to lose to eventual qualifiers Origen in Round 2 of the gauntlet.

2016 Season

At the start of the season, Jankos joined H2k-Gaming after the team were voted to play at IEM Season X - Cologne. They fielded a roster including Odoamne and Ryu from their 2015 roster along with new members Jankos, FORG1VEN, and VandeR. The team beat Cloud9 in the quarterfinals but were then beaten themselves by eventual winners Ever in the semifinals of the tournament.

Biography

Pobelter had previously played for Curse Gaming as their top laner, however, he left due to his inability to move into the team's gaming house and began playing for for Meat Playground as their AP carry. He would leave MP to join Curse's sibling team, Curse Academy as their mid laner since too young to join the LCS, he would be active in the growing Challenger scene.

In October 2013, it would be announced that Pobelter would rejoin Curse after their roster changes to become their new mid laner.[42]After 6 days, Pobelter was released from Team Curse due to his attending school.[43] After he was released, he played briefly for ggLA in the mid lane for Challenger Leagues such as the NACL.

2014 Preseason

When Evil Geniuses.NA moved from Europe to North America with Snoopeh, Yellowpete, and Krepo, Pobelter was brought in to fill their midlane position, while InnoX became their toplaner. Inheriting Velocity eSports's spot in the 2014 Spring Promotion Tournament, EG played against Determined Gaming and swept the series 3-0, qualifying for the LCS Spring Split.

2014 Season

Evil Geniuses placed seventh at the end of the Spring Split, with an overall 8-20 record, one game ahead of XDG; this record sent them directly to the Summer Promotion Tournament, without participating in the playoffs. In the Promotion Tournament, they were matched against Challenger team Cloud 9 Tempest, whom they defeated 3-1 and so qualified once again for the Summer Split.

In the summer split, Evil Geniuses barely finished the regular season in seventh place, finishing with one win more than compLexity, with an 11-17 record after finishing the split with a 4-0 final week. This meant EG would play in the Spring Promotion, facing Team Coast, who were playing with last-minute Korean players Miracle and Ringer in the solo lanes. EG won 3-0 and took their a spot in the 2015 LCS Spring Split.

2015 Preseason

Pobelter re-signed with Evil Geniuses, which then rebranded as Winterfox. He also won the Best Zed NA Tournament, defeating huhi 3-1 in the finals. Due to issues with Avalon and Helios's visas in the first week and multiple bottom lane substitutions throughout the split, Pobelter was the only member of Winterfox to play every game with the team in the same position. They finished in eighth place with a 7-11 record, forced into relegations. Given the choice between playing against Team Dragon Knights and Team Fusion, Winterfox chose the former, despite their higher placement in the Challenger playoffs. Due to starting mid laner Kyle leaving the team prior to the tournament, TDK started Alex Ich in mid lane, and Winterfox lost the series 1-3 and sending them to the Challenger series. Pobelter left the team and joined Counter Logic Gaming along with HuHi in time for the summer split.[45][46] Despite this announcement, Pobelter would play every game for CLG in the summer split.

Echoing their spring split performance, CLG started the summer split strong, in first place at the end of each of the first four weeks and then lost four games in a row to finish tied for fifth after week six. This time, however, they rebounded and ended the season in second, behind Team Liquid and with a 13-5 record. They received a bye in the first round of the playoffs and then swept both Team Impulse and Team SoloMid 3-0, to win their first LAN event since MLG Raleigh in 2011 nearly four years prior and receive North America's top seed to Worlds. Despite having a relatively easy group draw with KOO Tigers, Flash Wolves, and paiN Gaming, CLG didn't advance from their Worlds group, ending with a 2-4 record including a loss to paiN.

2016 Season

Despite the fact that HuHi hadn't gotten to play a single game live with the team during the 2015 season, in October CLG announced that he would replace Pobelter for the 2016 season as starting mid laner. Pobelter joined the new LCS team Immortals instead, with a roster including himself, Huni and Reignover from Fnatic, WildTurtle from TSM, and Adrian from Team Impulse.

Expected to be a top team in the LCS, Immortals initially exceeded all expectations as they went undefeated for the first six weeks of the season before losing one game to reigning champions Counter Logic Gaming in week 7. They won the rest of their regular season games, but as the season progressed further they looked weaker and weaker as a team, and even seemed to falter against the last-place Team Dignitas, needing to come back against them to pull out a win. With a top seed clinched into the playoffs, Immortals were guaranteed to face the lowest-seed team that won in the quarterfinals. That team ended up being Team Solomid, who were on a strong upswing after a sixth-place regular season finish. With questionable drafts including a Lucian top for Huni in game 1, Urgot mid for Pobelter in game 2, and three games of Karma support for Adrian as well as not a single contest of the strongly-in-meta Ekko, Immortals lost 3-0 to TSM. They came back the next week to beat Team Liquid and finish in third place overall.

Expectations for Immortals going into the Summer Season were again high, after they were one of only three NA teams not to change any players in the mid-season break, and while they nearly repeated their spring split record - this time dropping only two series in the new best of 3 format as opposed to 1 best of 1 - they were indisputably the second-best team in the league. TSM with new rookie star support Biofrost went 17-1 in series, and they bested Immortals in both of their head-to-head series. Immortals still had a playoff bye, and so they were able to avoid TSM in the semis, instead facing the third-place Cloud9. In a back-and-forth five-game series, Immortals were upset and faced CLG in the third-place match, which they came back from a disastrous game 1 to win 3-2. Unfortunately, despite their combined 33-3 regular season record, Immortals only had 120 Championship Points compared to CLG's 130, and so it was CLG who won the automatic second-place 2016 Season World Championship seed from North America. And even though Immortals had the top seed in the Regional Finals, they were upset once again by Cloud9, and their season ended short of Worlds.

2017 Season

In the Spring Split Immortals was for the most part a middle of the pack team. Although they showed promise they could never break into the Top 3. The team finished in 7th place, barely missing out on the playoffs. In the Summer Split after bringing in SSONG as their new coach, Immortals' performance turned around completely and they stayed in the Top 3 throughout the whole regular split. The team finished the regular season in 2nd place with a 14-4 record. Their performance in the Summer Playoffs was also excellent as they took down Counter Logic Gaming 3-0 in the semifinals and became the first team in NA LCS history since 2013 outside of CLG, TSM and C9 to reach the finals. Despite their accomplishment however, they were defeated 1-3 by TSM in the finals and finished 2nd place. Despite the loss they still managed to qualify for the 2017 Season World Championship via championship points. At Worlds Immortals was seeded in Group B along with Longzhu Gaming, Fnatic and GIGABYTE Marines. Despite a good 2-1 start in Week 1 they couldn't follow up on it in Week 2 and went 0-3. Having to play a tiebreaker in order to advance forward, Immortals faced Fnatic and lost the game which knocked them out of Worlds. Pobelter left Immortals in November of 2017 after the team was not accepted in the newly franchised NA LCS. He would join Team Liquid in November of 2017.

Despite the fact that HuHi hadn't gotten to play a single game live with the team during the 2015 season, in October CLG announced that he would replace Pobelter for the 2016 season as starting mid laner. Pobelter joined the new LCS team Immortals instead, with a roster including himself, Huni and Reignover from Fnatic, WildTurtle from TSM, and Adrian from Team Impulse.

Biography

2015 Preseason

In December 2014, Dardoch joined affNity as a top laner but later switched to jungle and played in the 2015 NA Challenger Series Spring Qualifier with the team where they lost 1-2 to Team Confound.

2015 Season

In March 2015, Dardoch joined Escalate Legion Gaming and played top for them in League One Powered by D!ngIt, and the AlphaDraft Challenger League. When Escalate Legion Gaming was disqualified from the AlphaDraft Challenger League and Storm took their spot, Dardoch joined the team as their top laner. However, shortly thereafter Storm also had to drop from the tournament when Babyeator left and they couldn't find a suitable replacement in time in accordance with ADCL's roster-change restrictions. In May, Dardoch left Storm and joined Magnetic (formerly Elomingle) as their jungler for the 2014 NA Challenger Series Summer Qualifier. After a loss to tournament favorites Misfits, Magnetic beat CLG Black and qualified for the summer season, renaming to Team Imagine. Dardoch left the team in July, after playing with them for the first two weeks of the season.

In August, Dardoch joined Team Liquid Academy and played with them in the HTC Ascension tournament, which they won with a finals victory over Team Frostbite. After an undefeated Open Qualifier and main qualifier run, including two more series wins over Frostbite, Liquid Academy entered the NACS Spring Season.

2016 Season

In December 2015, Team Liquid announced that all of their Liquid Academy members would become "active substitutes" for the 2016 season. After the retirement of starting jungler IWDominate, this brought Dardoch into the LCS roster as the full-time starting jungler.

Liquid's spring split started out rocky, with an 0-2 first week and cumulative winrates of 50% or worse after each of the first eight weeks. At the same time, Dardoch himself began to be recognized as not only one of the best rookies in North America, but even the best North American resident jungle overall in the tournament - and the best Lee Sin player who wasn't an import. Eventually, the team's new roster started to solidify, and they climbed into a fourth-place regular-season finish, behind the newly-formed and almost-undefeated Immortals, CLG, and Cloud9. Dardoch was awarded the title of "rookie of the split" for the NA LCS. The team's quarterfinal series was an easy 3-0 over NRG, but in the semifinals, they lost a narrow five-game series to CLG (the eventual champions). In the third-place series against the tournament-favorite Immortals who had been knocked down in an upset by TSM, Liquid lost once again, this time 0-3, to finish the playoffs in fourth place overall and continuing their "fourth-place curse."

Despite Dardoch's stellar spring split performance, on May 27, he was suspended by the team for "behavioral problems and team dynamics issues" ahead of the Summer Split.[45] Liquid Academy jungler Moon was used for the team's first series instead, which they lost, and by the end of the week Dardoch was starting again, where he remained through the end of the Playoffs. Soon after Dardoch's return, Fabbbyyy was also traded to the main Team Liquid roster, this time in exchange for Piglet. This roster of Lourlo, Dardoch, Fenix, Fabbbyyy, and Matt stabilized, and the team finished in fifth place with a 9-9 series record. In the playoffs, they shook up their roster once again, substituting in Jynthe for their third game against CLG after two losses. Jynthe won his first game, but Team Liquid ultimately lost the series 3-1. Prior to their Regional Finals series against Team EnVyUs, Liquid announced that former mid lane substitute Arcsecond would replace Dardoch in the jungle. The same day, Dardoch was announced as the new jungler of Echo Fox, however, the move was later rejected by Riot. Dardoch would join Immortals in December of 2016.

In the 2017 NA LCS Spring Split, Immortals was for the most part a middle of the pack team. Although they showed promise they could never break into the Top 3. The team finished in 7th place, barely missing out on the playoffs. Dardoch was swapped with Xmithie and moved over to Counter Logic Gaming in May of 2017. This change seemed to work out for both sides, as CLG began the season in a three way race for first with Immortals and TSM. As the season went on however, CLG's performance started to drop and eventually Dardoch left the team in July. He would re-join Team Liquid in the same month. This wasn't enough for TL however, as the team finished 9th place with 4 wins and 14 losses. They attended the 2018 NA LCS Spring Promotion and retained their LCS spot with a 3-2 victory over Phoenix1. Dardoch left the team once more in December and joined Echo Fox.

Lyon won the semifinals series with an easily 3-0. In the finals, they played against Just Toys Havoks, but they weren't worthy rivals either.

After winning 3-0 in the finals, Lyon qualified to the 2016 International Wildcard Qualifier to play in Brazil, looking for a spot in the 2016 Worlds. In the IWCQ, they expected to end up in the last position, but they smashed every team in the group stage, and only Albus NoX Luna beat them.

On the Worlds Play-In, they were matched with 2017 Mid-Season Invitational's runner-up Team WE from China and 2017 LCL Summer champion Gambit Esports from Russia, being this the most difficult group of the Play-In stage. WhiteLotus got a pentakill in the second game versus Gambit Esports and was also the first of the tournament. Affortunately, the team had an outstanding performance and managed to qualify for the next stage, where they faced Cloud9. Suddenly, Lyon lost 0-3 versus them, ending the dream to compete on the Worlds Main Event, but one more time being flattered by the Riot worldwide casters and players from other teams for their amazing way to play the game, specially WhiteLotus.

2018 Season

During the Preseason 2018, it was announced that WhiteLotus was suspended for 4 competitive months starting in January due to some toxic behavior in SoloQ. This meant him will not be able to play in any tournament until May 1. Several weeks before, his team Lyon Gaming was forced to change their name and logo if they want to still compete in the LLN, and also they had to pay $10,000 to Thyak for the brand rights. The team's new name was Rainbow7.

After four whole months being unable to play, Matías was unbanned on May 1.

Biography

Season 3

Morning was one of the players produced by the TeSL Draft Season in 2013, playing for the Cheetahs before moving onto his first professional team Wayi Spider. Morning would compete under Wayi Spider as both a top and mid laner, with Naz playing mid lane on the team as well. Morning's first serious competition took place at the Season 3 Taiwan Regional Finals, where his team Wayi Spider started the bracket with a quick 2-0 victory over the Gamania Bears, but would eventually be denied a chance at the Season 3 World Championship in the losers bracket by the very same Gamania Bears.

2014 Season

Despite Wayi Spider's failure to make it worlds, Morning's talent was clear and with Wayi Spider withdrawing from League of Legends, Morning would be acquired by the Taipei Assassins. Moving on to TPA in Season 4, Morning transitioned to a full-time mid laner and was part of one of the most dominant teams to participate in Garena Premier League history. Taipei Assassins had just overhauled its roster of the Season 2 World Championship winners, with BeBe the only victor remaining member on the squad, becoming a brand new team flourishing with talent from multiple disbanded TeSL organizations. Taipei Assassins topped out their group in 2014 GPL Winter, going 8-2 and eventually running the playoff bracket with a 3-0 over Full Louis, 3-2 victory over Saigon Jokers, and a 3-2 finals victory over Taipei Snipers. Following the event, TPA would compete at IEM Season VIII - World Championship where they would only muster a single win against Gambit Gaming before falling out of the group stage. Morning performed admirably in his first international event, but ultimately the team wilted.

2014 GPL Spring followed a similar suit as TPA once again topped their group, this time with a perfect 10-0 record, and ran through the bracket with a 3-0 over Insidious Gaming. 3-2 over TPS, and a 3-2 over ahq e-Sports Club in the finals. Soon after, TPA had the opportunity to attend All-Star Paris 2014 shortly after Spring, but failed to do much at this event either, falling 0-4 in the group stages.2014 GPL Summer was the most dominant GPL run yet, as TPA ran over their group with a 9-1 record and stamped out Insidious Gaming Rebirth, Saigon Fantastic Five, and ahq e-Sports Club, whilst only dropping a single game. Korean coach, Sim Sung-Soo, made the Assassins look cleaner and the team had high hopes looking toward the 2014 Season World Championship. Unfortunately, their hopes would come crashing down again, with Morning clearly showcasing a bad case of nerves, as the team went 1-5 in groups, only able to take a game off the Svenskeren-less SK Gaming.

2015 Season

2015 was rolling in and TPA were making a few roster changes after their disappointing worlds run. Among these changes, Morning would switch back to playing top lane for TPA, in order to make room for Singaporean star, Chawy. Morning went on with this Assassins to be one of the best teams in the region, but unfortunately could not compete with the upstart Flash Wolves in the preseason or regular season. TPA was reverse swept by the wolves at IEM Season IX - Taipei, losing their chance to compete at IEM World Championship in Katowice, and eventually falling second to the same wolves in the 2015 LMS Spring Season and dropping 3-0 to ahq e-Sports Club in the 2015 LMS Spring Playoffs, ending third.

Summer had Morning staying in the top lane, but after a pretty decent return to the position in Spring, he struggled in Summer. TPA struggled as a whole as well, even falling near the bottom of the standings during the regular season. Morning eventually was subbed out a few games for rookie top laner, Yue, but soon returned to his starting position. TPA and Morning had a bit of a renaissance toward the end of the year, nearly 2-0ing ahq e-Sports Club, but would eventually end at a club-worst fifth place, missing playoffs for the first time in team history.

However, TPA managed enough circuit points with their 3rd place in Spring and 5th place in Summer, so they had one more chance in the 2015 Season Taiwan Regionals. Unfortunately, tragedy struck and Chawy was retroactively banned for elo-boosting activity, forcing TPA to move Morning back to mid lane for the tournament. TPA matched up against 1st seed Hong Kong eSports as the 4th seed and were clear underdogs, but Morning's mid play on the likes of Lulu and Twisted Fate proved deadly as the lineup went 2-0. However, HKE would come back with the reverse sweep as Toyz adapted to Morning's split-push Twisted Fate, disappointing TPA once again.

2016 Season

2016 saw Morning's return to the top lane, in light of mid-lane trainee, FoFo, finally turning 17 years old. TPA proved to regain their form, battling among the top 3 teams for the majority of the 2016 LMS Spring Season and even 2-0d the Flash Wolves toward the end of the season. However, the team once again saw disappointment as TPA was upset at the beginning of the 2016 LMS Spring Playoffs, losing to Machi E-Sports in 5 games. Morning was outmatched by BoBo and TPA fell flat once more.
