Infinity Esports is a Costa Rican multi-gaming organization founded in 2009. They entered the League of Legends scene in 2014. Their name was previously stylized InFinity eSports. The team currently competes under the name Gillette Infinity due to a sponsorship deal with Gillette.
History[edit]
Infinity Esports was founded in November 1, 2009 by Paul "Monrrow" Venegas.
Worlds 2018[edit]
Infinity Esports has proven to be an exemplary organization. The team has been to three straight Finals in their region, losing the first two against Rainbow7, the iconic representative in the Latin America North. Now, for the first time in the region’s history, there's a new champion to represent LLN at Worlds. Coming off their historic win, Infinity will look to leverage their momentum at Worlds for the first time ever. Led by their experienced Peruvian star Arce in the support role, the team has a calculated style and is also likely to shine in the jungle with SolidSnake, as well as in the bot lane with their ADC, Renyu, who quickly became the LLN's Rookie of the Year.
As of 2020, they are the fourth most decorated team in Latin America with 2 championships obtained, 1 as regional champions, and 1 as Latin American champions.[1]
