Taipei Assassins

For dedicated eSports fans, Taipei Assassins are known as a team often cited as one of the strongest in the world, despite having not played in any challenger circuit events this year. Taipei Assassins spent most of this year completely dominating the Garena Premier League, with a current record of 29-2. Long-time followers of high-Elo League of Legends players will recognize star players MiStaKe and Lilballz, both of whom were commonly seen on the top of the North American ladder during Season One, and Lilballz was even once a member of Counter Logic Gaming NA. Taipei Assassins brings with them the confidence of having completely dominated an entire region throughout Season Two.
