Origen and Misfits: The Rise of Thoughtful Team Names in Esports
Team names in esports are often generic and lack creativity. However, a new trend is emerging, where teams are choosing thoughtful and meaningful names that represent their values and aspirations. Origen and Misfits are two teams that embody this trend.
Origen, founded by former Fnatic midlaner xPeke, represents the idea of origin and going back to one’s roots. The team started in the challenger scene and quickly made their mark by winning their first challenger series. Their name reflects their journey of building a great new dynasty from humble beginnings.
Misfits, a North American Challenger team, also has a name that rings true to their identity. Each player on the team is a misfit in their own way, and together they form a collection of individuals who are confident in themselves despite being doubted by others. They are determined to prove their doubters wrong at any cost.
