Elements was a European team, the new name for the Alliance team. They disbanded in May 2016 and sold their LCS seed and roster to Schalke 04 Esports.
History[edit]
Elements was established in January 2015, after Alliance was forced to rebrand itself, due to a new sale of sponsorships rule, established after the 2014 season.[1] The initial starting roster of Elements included Wickd, Shook, Froggen, Rekkles, and Nyph.
2015 Season[edit]
After a 4-4 record at the end of the fourth week of the spring split, Elements replaced Wickd with former Millenium top laner kev1n. However, in kev1n's first week of LCS play, they went 0-2 for a second week in a row, and going into the sixth week they replaced Nyph with former Evil Geniuses support Krepo.[2] Krepo had previously played with Froggen on CLG.EU and EG. Nyph stayed in the team as an assistant coach. Just one week later, Wickd returned to the toplane position while kev1n became a sub.[3] Also, Nyph became the new Head Coach joining the team during the picks and bans replacing Mart. Unfortunately, the roster changes ultimately didn't help the team, finishing in 7th place. This meant that the team would not go to playoffs, but would qualify for the Summer Split.
After the split, Elements changed their roster significantly; Froggen being the only member to stay on the team, while Jwaow, dexter, Tabzz, and promisQ joined as starters.[4] The Summer Split was also disappointing for the team, again finishing in 7th place, though this meant that they would still have a place in next season's Spring Split.
2016 Season[edit]
In the offseason, Jwaow, dexter, Froggen and Tabzz left the team after their contracts expired, forcing Elements to field a new roster in 2016.[5][6][7] Even though there were reports suggesting Elements was looking to sell their LCS spot,[8] they ultimately decided to field a new roster with former Team ROCCAT players Steve and MrRalleZ, former Unicorns of Love jungler Gilius, former Gamers2 midlaner Eika, and their initial 2015 summer split support promisQ, who renamed to sprattel. Nyph stayed with with the team as head coach.[9] Elements's roster for the 2016 season seemed weak to fans, and many expected them to be relegated; however, they were able to hang on to seventh place for the majority of the split to automatically requalify for the summer split without seeing any post-season play.
On May 16, German football club Schalke 04 announced the acquisition of Elements's roster and LCS seed.[10]
