NRG’s Previous League of Legends Endeavor and GAM’s Dominance
In 2016, NRG had a professional League of Legends team in the North American LCS, but they were eventually relegated out of the league. On the other hand, GAM Esports has consistently been one of the top teams in Vietnam, winning the VCS Spring Split 2021 with an impressive 13-1 record. They have also garnered a substantial fan following worldwide through their performances at various World Championships.
A Promising Future for GAM with NRG’s Support
With NRG’s support and resources, GAM Esports has the potential to return to the World Championship stage. Fans can look forward to seeing them compete at the highest level when October arrives.
