Two recent announcements from Immortals suggests the organisation is looking to further its grasp on the eSports world by adding two new rosters to its lineup.<\/p>\n
The first was for Overwatch, with the team revealing that it is entering the burgeoning eSport by acquiring Sodipop \u2013 one of the top teams playing competitive Overwatch.<\/p>\n
This team will be spending two weeks at Immortals head quarters in Santa Monica, says the announcement, to train together before moving on to the ELeague finals later this month. <\/p>\n
Immortals adds that the support of a professional manager and coach will help the team that was Sodipop quickly grow in performance and \u2013 ultimately \u2013 the ranks of Overwatch eSports.<\/p>\n
The new Immortals Overwatch squad is:
\nDPS: Christopher \u201cGrimreality\u201d Schaefer
\nDPS\/Flex: Brady \u201cAgilities\u201d Girardi
\nSupport: Athen \u201cAythen\u201d Zhu
\nSupport\/Flex: Jeremy \u201cJer\u201d SantaCruz
\nFlex: George \u201cHyped\u201d Maganzini
\nTank: David \u201cNomy\u201d Ramirez
\nCoach: Morgan \u201cKurjun\u201d Daine Pasilis<\/p>\n
In addition to this, Immortals then announced that it will be moving into the world of FGC eSports. What is a surprise is that, instead of targeting Street Fighter 5 or even Mortal Kombat X, the organisation is in fact entering the world of Super Smash Bros.<\/p>\n
It has brought Jason \u201cANTi\u201d Bates into its roster, praising Smash 4\u2019s \u201cvibrant community and unparalleled fan support\u201d. ANTi is a top-tier Smash competitor, but Immortals CEO Noah Whinston claims it is his showmanship and respect for his fans that makes him a good fit for the org.<\/p>\n
ANTi will be playing his next match at Abadango Saga on 24 September 2016.<\/p>\n
Historically Immortals made a name for itself as a League Of Legends competitor after forming in 2015, but it recently expanded into CS:GO with its acquisition of Brazilian squad Tempo Storm.<\/p>\n
With such a quick rate of expansion, it\u2019s clear that Immortals is looking to become a permanent fixture in the world of eSports. And it\u2019s doing a fine job of it so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
