FC Schalke 04 Esports is the esports division of German sports club FC Schalke 04.
History[edit]
FC Schalke 04 Esports was announced on May 16, 2016, having purchased the EU LCS Summer 2016 seed and roster of Elements.[1] Their roster included Steve, Gilius, MrRalleZ, and sprattel from Elements's Spring Season lineup, with Fox from Unicorns of Love replacing Eika. With the acquisition, FC Schalke 04 became the second professional sports organization to sign a League of Legends team, after Beşiktaş acquired Aces High in 2015.
2016 Season[edit]
Although Schalke began the summer split with a respectable 3-5-2 match record, in fourth place, they had slid to eighth by the split's end and were required to compete in the 2017 Spring Promotion tournament. There, they lost 1-3 to Team ROCCAT and 1-3 to Misfits, becoming the only 2016 Summer EU LCS team to be relegated. By the end of the year, all the team's players had departed.
2017 Season[edit]
Starting from scratch in the new year, FC Schalke signed Smittyj, loulex, SELFIE, Upset, and VandeR.[2] With the exception of the rookie Upset, each of the team's players had at least a full split of LCS experience. Now competing in the 2017 Challenger Series, Schalke became the first ever European team to go undefeated throughout an entire CS regular season, posting a 5-0-0 series record. In their playoff series however they were upset by Misfits Academy and did not qualify for promotion back to EU LCS.
After this failure they replaced loulex, Selfie and VandeR with Memento, Caedrel and Norskeren. With this roster they stayed once again undefeated in regular season of the Challenger Series Summer Split with a 3-2-0 record and managed to beat Red Bulls 3-1 in playoffs to qualify for EU LCS 2018 Spring Promotion. After beating Mysterious Monkeys in round 1 they lost the first qualifying round against Giants in a close 2-3 series. In the second qualifying round they faced off against Ninjas in Pyjamas and swept them 3-0 to qualify for the EU LCS.
2018 Season[edit]
For their second attempt in the EU LCS Schalke 04 rebuilt their roster by signing Vizicsacsi from UOL, Pridestalker from Giants, nukeduck and VandeR from Team Vitality to play alongside AD Carry prospect Upset and bringing in Boris from Splyce and Guilhoto from Giants as new coaches. The team struggled in their first split and missed playoffs with a 8th place finish at 7-11.
Going into Summer Split they brought in jungle veteran Amazing who helped the team to perform more consistently and lead the roster to finish Regular Season in a 3-way-tie for 2nd which saw them go into playoffs as 3rd seed after losing against Team Vitality and beating G2 Esports. Fighting their way past Splyce and Vitality into their first EU LCS final against Fnatic they had hopes of upsetting them but ultimately were not good enough and lost 1-3. Therefore they went into Regional Finals as 1st seed and favourites as they could watch their opponent play but ended up disappointing everyone's expectations and lost convincingly 1-3 missing out on representing Europe at the 2018 Season World Championship.
2019 Season[edit]
On November 20, Riot Games announced Schalke 04 as one of the ten partner teams for the LEC 2019 Spring Split.[3]
They ended up once again rebuilding their roster around Upset and picked up Odoamne from Splyce, Memento from Team ROCCAT, IgNar who returned from LCK team bbq Olivers and rookie Abbedagge. They started off well in the first round of Spring Split looking like a top 3 team but could not keep it up and dropped throughout the second half of the split ending in 7th place after losing a tiebreaker game for 6th against SK Gaming.
Before Summer Split startet Schalke announced the signing of Trick as their new jungler. Trick directly made an impact on the team with his experience and lead the team to consistent performances and a 4th place in regular season. Because Splyce chose Rogue as opponents Schalke had to go up against Vitality in Round 1 of playoffs. After a great start they dominated game 1 and came out ahead in a fight-heavy series to win 3-1 and face Rogue in Round 2. There they should have been with their backs against the wall but due to a mistake from their opponents they came back from an open nexus and also found the victory in game 4 to close out the series 3-1 and secure a ticket to Athens as well as at least a place in gauntlet. In semifinals against Fnatic it became clear that there is still quite a gap between top 2 and the rest of the LEC as Schalke 04 were clean swept. Despite that they went as 1st seed and favourite into gauntlet were they faced Splyce who had just about beaten Origen the day before. Similarly to one year before Schalke 04 were again favoured but did not show up on the day and were clearly beaten and denied their first Worlds appearance once again.
