Immortals is a United States eSports organization founded in 2015 and owned by Immortals Gaming Club.
Within the eSport industry, the Immortals brand has divided opinions. You either love them or dislike them – it’s simple yet true.
The reason for this is that Immortals first started out as a highly engaging and fan-friendly team. However, controversy began to flare up as Immortals switched to a more ‘corporate’ way of operating, eventually purchasing OpTic in 2019. This created a negative reputation for Immortals that they were trying to ‘buy their way to success.’
Throughout its history, Immortals has fielded rosters across many different games. Now, though, they primarily compete in:
- League of Legends
- Wild Rift
- Valorant
After a difficult first few years, it’s now fair to say that Immortals are back on track and have started to craft a more positive and prosperous future for the organization.

Immortals History: 2015 – Now
In its first 18 months, Immortals quickly gained media and fan attention for being of the most ambitious and fierce teams coming up the eSports circuit. During this time, everything was looking great for Immortals, as they were very much ‘shaking up’ the industry in a positive way.
However, it’s fair to say that things moved a little too fast, which ultimately led to the Immortals failing to earn a spot in the LCS (The League of Legends Championship Series). This was a huge shock at the time because of Immortal’s talented roster and the fact that they were expected to qualify with minimal problems.
The perception of Immortals in the public eye also took further damage in 2019 when they purchased OpTic for somewhere reported to be in the range of $35 to $45 million (ESPN). This purchase allowed Immortals to fast-track back into the LCS.
Despite these adverse events, Immortals has slowly started to bounce back over recent years. This is largely thanks to the investment they’ve made in League of Legends: Wilf Rift, which has a fast-growing niche audience and huge potential in the eSports market. Today, Immortals is valued at over $210 million, making it one of the most valuable eSports brands around.
