Immortals, the new titans of Esports

Truly Imm8rtals

July 24th of 2015, Fnatic goes 18-0 in the Summer Split, beating every record in the whole scene, becoming the first team ever to go undefeated.

October 25th, Fnatic isn't able to meet the expectations of a Worlds Championships final and fall to the KOO Tigers in an one-sided BO5. Europe is no more in the competition and the final will be 100% Korean.

One month later, the team announce the departure of their 2 Korean's stars, Reignover and Huni. Their destination will be unknown for 2 weeks. 

Then, on December 8, Immortals (a group of investors led by Noah Winston), after acquiring Team 8 LCS spot, finally announce his brand new roster. Huni and Reignover are there, alongside the last Summer Split champion, Pobelter, Adrian (ex-Team Impulse) and Wildturtle (ex-TSM).

For hours, days, weeks, the community is talking about this team. They could easily become one of the favorites and reign over, just like their jungler, the North America. 

But some are skeptics, TSM is, like always, seen as the big favorite. The fans don't believe in Wildturtle anymore, especially after his last year of underperformances. Adrian, after deciding to stop playing to go back to his studies, finally come back on his decision, but people are not really confident on him, some even says he was the weak point of Impulse, they are wrong.

Then comes Pobelter, champion with CLG after a crushing victory over the rival TSM, his transfer was one of the most surprising. Huhi was prefered to him despite his good games. Pobelter decided to quit CLG, not wishing to be on the bench. Certainly the best decision of his life.

Huni and Reignover were unknown before coming to Fnatic. Reignover was pro before in a team called Incredible Miracle, but they were no miracles and Reignover was seen as one of the worst jungler in Korea, he was underestimated and only wished to prove people wrong.

And they did, both of them. Even though Huni was considered as a tilt lord, he carried Fnatic multiple times, even scoring a beautiful Quadra kill at Worlds.

That's what lead us to today. Today, Immortals is now 8-0 in the North America LCS, destroying every single opponent, being scared only once in their game against TSM, when they were left behind in the early game before coming back after many (bad) baron calls.

All the team is performing, Turtle has revived, he found a team who is able to follow him when he goes wild. Adrian, like always, is efficient and his Janna, Soraka, are a poison for the opponents.

Reignover has matured, a lot. Already strong after his season with Fnatic, he seems more confident, and is in every "first blood" of his team, putting pressure everywhere on the map.

Huni also seem more confident. Of course, we will only see that if Immortals lose someday, but Huni is still very efficient and also, less sensitive to the pressure.

Pobelter is still the same kind of player from when he played for CLG, but he found a team who trust him and where he fits without worries.

As of today, Huni and Reignover are now 26-0 in a regular split and it does seem like it's far from stopping. Will the two of them be able to end another perfect split? Huni believe so and is ready to take anyone who will try to stop this unbeaten run.

In the end, only the future will tell us if Immortals can truly stay immortals and if this team can become one of the best, or the best in the world.

But right now, this team is focused on the first split of the year and will probably continue to give us a show every time they goes on stage.

"What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal"
