A new club has emerged in the LFL. Team GO announced their complete rebrand on Monday across all their social media platforms. They are now called Galions and have welcomed Maxime "Sixen" Tchoroukianas CEO and the new face of the club. This marks the return of the streamer and entrepreneur to leading an LFL project after the sudden shutdown of his former club, Team du Sud, which was mainly caused by health issues faced by his former partner, Slipix.

Plenty of announcements for 2025

This change comes after a rollercoaster year for Team GO in the LFL. They finished 5th in both the Spring and Summer splits but managed to salvage their season at the EMEA Masters, where they reached the semi-finals. As we reported in recent weeks, this has led to significant changes in their player roster, which has now been officially announced:

Galions have also officially announced their roster for the WNB circuit, formerly Team GO Aurora, which is now rebranded as Galions Pearl. While the midlaner has yet to be revealed, the four other players and the coaching staff have been confirmed:

Alongside this, they also unveiled their new jersey for 2025, as well as their updated Fortnite roster, which includes two returning players from this year: Lucas 'Kyzen' Gonzales and Clement 'Clement' Lesobre. Additionally, they revealed their new roster for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

In a video, they showcased the inauguration of their training center in Levallois-Perret, a suburb of Paris, designed for player practice and hosting fan-oriented events. To mark the occasion, they are organizing a viewing party for their first match at this venue, with Sixen himself in attendance.

A historic name that shall not be forgotten

This announcement further strengthens one of the LFL's longest-standing and most accomplished projects. Formerly known as GamersOrigin, Team GO is a company that transitioned into esports in 2014, focusing specifically on League of Legends in 2017. Over the years, they have participated in numerous LAN events, winning most of them, and are among the 10 original clubs that joined the LFL at its inception in Spring 2019.

The team has claimed notable titles, including the Spring and Summer championships in 2020 and the Coupe de France in 2023, with the final held at Paris Games Week. Consistently a top performer, they have amassed six appearances at the EMEA Masters, highlighted by a semi-final finish in the most recent Summer 2024 edition.
