Origen, the Spanish team founded by Enrique “xPeke” Cedeño Martínez in 2015, is back in the new EU LCS. The org’s successful application to the 2019 league was made possible by RFRSH Entertainment, the parent company of Astralis. Origen will now be RFRSH and Astralis’ League of Legends debut after their successful years in the competitive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive scene. Former Riot staffer and EU LCS commentator Martin “Deficio” Lynge reportedly assisted Astralis and RFRSH with their league application. Deficio recently left Riot to become a freelance esports personality, and his involvement with the new team has not yet been confirmed. Origen will be one of the 10 teams included in the new league, and Riot has not officially commented on this report.
