The team carried themselves into an absolute streak in the last leg 2020, going six for six in the tournaments they participated. In addition to LVP Genesis Cups and Iberian trophies, they conquered First Strike: Europe in a blistering titan-slaying run, defeating Liquid, G2 and Fnatic, at the time SUMN FC.
