Team Infamous

One of Vainglory’s Oldest and
Most Successful Guilds will Debut Under the Renegades Banner in a 5v5 Showmatch
at the Vainglory World Championship in Singapore

Singapore — October 20, 2017 — Storied
esports franchise Renegades joins Vainglory with the acquisition of
Southeast Asia’s Infamous, one of Vainglory’s
longest-standing guilds. The team’s first taste of competition under the
Renegades banner will come during the Vainglory 2017 World Championship at
Singapore’s Kallang Theatre from December 14 to the 17. Super Evil
Megacorp, creators of the world’s leading mobile esport Vainglory, will host Renegades in
a showmatch that will serve as the unveiling of the game’s long-awaited 5v5
mode.

“Infamous is one of the most well-known and successful teams in the
history of Vainglory esports, and it’s only fitting that they would be included
in this milestone event in Singapore, where we both crown a world champion and
celebrate the Vainglory community in Southeast Asia as a whole,” said Evan
Denbaum, General Manager of Esports & Editorial for Super Evil Megacorp.
“The global unveiling of Vainglory 5v5 is the most anticipated moment
since Vainglory initially launched, and it will be incredible to have Renegades
be the first to set foot onto the new map in front of a global audience.”

Infamous has been a major player of Vainglory
Esports since Season 2 of the Vainglory International Premier League and up to
Vainglory Worlds 2016, with numerous tournament wins in between. Led by Justin
“spaghetti” Bersamin, the roster also includes Ching “Chingy” Yang, Terence
“Tezzaboy98” Leung Cheuk Yin, Adem “SnkEA“ Lebeidi, Thanakit “uNi” Vongmanee
along with Coach and Analyst Bryan “Aeon222” Tay.

“When we first started our team, it was our goal to come this far
in the competitive scene as to be recognized by an organization like
Renegades,” said Bersamin. “We have been training ever since the formation of
our new team roster and we are ready to show what we are worth.”

Renegades represents countries from across the Southeast Asia region,
including Singapore, Thailand, Australia and the Philippines. Fans can purchase
