PTG Database Analysis

Kongdoo Monster entered League of Legends under that name in February 2016, when Kongdoo Company partnered with e-mFire and supported the team’s branding, marketing and content work. The company operated other esports teams as well. In November 2018, after Kongdoo Company had rebranded as Still8, it sold the League of Legends team to Brion Company.[2][3]

The club’s best documented international result was the League of Legends team’s runner-up finish at IEM Season XI Gyeonggi in 2016. The roster lost the final 1–3 to Samsung Galaxy.[1]
