League of Legends
The division in League of Legends , founded in 2011, rarely made an appearance until 2014. In 2014 they were able to prevail for the first time in the European Challenger Series and always played in the League of Legends Championship Series in the following years . The greatest success to date was qualifying for the World Cup in the 2015 Summer Split (as of May 2016) . There the lineup failed in the group phase and ended it as third in the group. In the 2016 Spring Split, H2k led the League of Legends Championship Series together with G2 Esports from the third to the ninth matchday , before the team had to give way to the Spanish organization after a loss to Unicorns of Love . In the knockout phase, the team lost both to Origen and in the game for 3rd place against Fnatic . In the Summer Split 2016, H2k reached 3rd place to qualify for the World Cup. Surprisingly, H2k was the first to complete the group stage. As Europe's last hope, H2k, after a 3-0 win over Albus NoX Luna, reached the semi-finals in which H2k was eliminated 3-0 against Samsung Galaxy . It was mainly thanks to Konstantinos "FORG1VEN" Tzortziou and Marcin "Jankos" Jankowski that H2k was able to play such a successful World Cup .
