The organisation's League of Legends team is based in Vietnam and competes in the Vietnam Championship Series (VCS), the highest level of competitive League of Legends in the country. The team became VCS champions (a title held only by the GIGABYTE Marines at the time) on 7 April 2018, a feat accomplished during their first appearance in the league. This qualified them for the 2018 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), where they performed above expectations against other more well-known international teams.[4]

Arena of Valor

EVOS Esports entered the competitive Arena of Valor scene in 2017 with its acquisition of an all-Indonesian roster. In August 2018, Hartawan "WyvorZ" Muliadi, Sultandyo "MythR" Raihan, and Hartanto "POKKA" Lius joined the team. EVOS won AOV Star League Season 2 on 16 February 2019, qualifying for the 2019 Arena of Valor World Cup as Indonesia's representative.[5][6]

League of Legends

EVOS Esports' League of Legends team competes in the Vietnam Championship Series (VCS), the highest level of competitive League of Legends in Vietnam.[4] In the VCS 2018 Spring Split, EVOS finished first in the regular season, ending with a 12–2 record.[7] Their placement in the regular season secured EVOS a finals bye in playoffs, where they beat GIGABYTE Marines 3–2,[8] qualifying them for the 2018 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI).

In the MSI 2018 main event qualifiers, EVOS beat SuperMassive eSports 3–1 to secure a spot in the main event.[9][10][11] EVOS ended the main event at MSI 2018 with a 2–8 record,[12] failing to qualify for playoffs.[13][14]

EVOS' long time mid laner Đoàn "Warzone" Văn Ngọc Sơn retired from professional play on 15 September 2018 and became a streamer for the organisation.[15] He was replaced by Võ "Petland" Huỳnh Quang Huy and Lê "Dia1" Phú Quý in preparation for the VCS 2019 Spring Split. EVOS placed third in the regular season with a 9–5 record, qualifying for playoffs. In the first round of playoffs, EVOS defeated Friends Forever 3–2 in a close series, and in the second round EVOS defeated Sky Gaming 3–1, moving on to face Phong Vũ Buffalo in the finals, which they lost 1–3.
