BBL Queens has been active since 2021, qualifying to the first two Game Changers tournaments but only reaching top eight on both occasions. One of many full-Turkish teams, they were never particularly remarkable, with other significant organizations taking local center stage across 2021 and 2022.
They participated in multiple tournaments across 2022, being semi-finalists in events such as Birds of Prey Episode 3 and Rebels 4, but never breaking into the top eight in Game Changers until the final event. After Series 2, Vania and alkyia officially joined the team as controller and duelist, respectively. December saw the departure of head coach Mertenstein , with Meseka joining as his replacement.
In 2023 they signed on-and-off-again stand-in,

rayka
to complete the team. The changes were an immediate success, with BBL Queens going undefeated in the Group Stage and getting a second place finish in Stage 1. In Stage 2 they were once again undefeated in the Group Stage, but losses to both finalists, G2 Gozen and
