who made their mark in the 2021 VCT year. They were the winners of CIS Stage 1 Masters, victors of Stage 3 Masters: Berlin Masters 3, and runners-up in Champions 2021.
The same roster stayed together for the 2022 VCT circuit but struggled to find the same level of success as they had the year prior. Stage 1's EMEA Challengers, during which the roster rebranded to M3 Champions, concluded with the team taking a top-six finish and no LAN appearance.

Prior to their EMEA Last Chance Qualifier run, the team brought in Jady and Semyon "purp0"
Borchev (the latter as a substitute), in place of Nikita "d3ffo"
Sudakov. M3C made a deep run in the LCQ tournament with this slightly revamped line-up, but a 3-1 loss to
