Current Roster

FC Schalke 04 Esports is the esports division of German sports club FC Schalke 04.

History

FC Schalke 04 Esports was announced on May 16, 2016, having purchased the EU LCS Summer 2016 seed and roster of Elements. 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

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

Starting from scratch in the new year, FC Schalke signed Smittyj, loulex, SELFIE, Upset, and VandeR. 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

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

On November 20, Riot Games announced Schalke 04 as one of the ten partner teams for the LEC 2019 Spring Split.

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.
