Team Gates was previously a North American challenger team.
History[]
2017 Season[]
Team Gates was formed in November 2016 to compete in the North American challenger series, when the organization, headed by well-known League streamer Trick2g, acquired the NACS slot of Nova eSports. For the NACS 2017 Spring, they built a roster of Allorim, TheOddOrange, Strompest, Vex, and Vincent, none of whom had significant competitive experience or had ever played at the LCS level. Unsurprisingly, the team lost all ten of their games and finished last, sending them to the NACS 2017 Summer Qualifiers. For the qualifiers, Team Gates used a completely different roster of Max Waldo, CloudNguyen, Linsanity, Jurassiq, and Clyde, but without any better results, as they were swept 3-0 by CLG Black. Shortly thereafter, the team disbanded.
