Immortals

Immortals is a professional esports organization with teams competing in various games including League of Legends, Valorant, and others. The organization fields competitive rosters and participates in major esports tournaments and leagues around the world.

Background

Immortals (formerly Team Envy) is a North American esports organization founded in 2006, with teams competing in games like Valorant, Apex Legends, and Super Smash Bros. The company has historically been one of the larger players in the esports industry but has struggled with financial sustainability—a common problem across the sector, where teams often rely on venture capital and investor funding rather than turning a profit. In recent years, Immortals/Envy faced layoffs, ownership changes, and a pivot toward a more sustainable business model. For context, the broader esports industry has seen a wave of contraction since 2022, with organizations shutting down, merging, or pulling out of leagues after a period of rapid, VC-fueled growth during the pandemic. The Immortals website likely presents the brand's current identity, roster, and partnerships.
