One of the major titles out there - League of Legends has been eluding the QLASH universe for way too long. With the start of the new competitive season and the merge with Team Forge we are happy and proud to announce our Team Pro roster that will be competing on the Italian scene and hopefully winning the PG Nationals to go on and compete on the international one.

QLASH co-owner Eugene Katchalov was thrilled for what is to come and said: ‘I’m so excited, I just can’t hide it (laughs).. Jokes aside, with us entering the League of Legends scene it is yet another milestone for the organization and the team behind it. I see us growing at an astonishing rate and I’m sure the roster we have chosen together with the Team Forge management will make us proud.’

The Head Coach of the team Alessandro 'Sekuar' Sesani is also looking forward to achieving significant results: ‘New season, new adventure. We are mixing the Team Forge core - a group of guys already used to living and playing together, with two new entries that I'm sure will fit the team very well and spray some “fresh blood”. We aim high as always, the guys all have the potential they need to be on the top, now it's time to work hard and to use this potential in the best possible way’.
