[edit] Overview

Monomaniac eSports (mMe), also known as monoesports, is an industry-leading League of Legends organization that had branched out into the competitive StarCraft II scene in 2012. Spearheaded by the financial base that has been firmly established by the League of Legends division, Monomaniac eSports was prepared to build a thriving StarCraft II community with top-notch players and staff members. The vision and goals of this team focused on close relationships between the players and the management, as the team grew together as an organization. Monomaniac eSports currently has teams in the following eSports disciplines:

Dota 2
League of Legends: NA
League of Legends: EU
Tribes: Ascend
Counter-Strike Global Offensive

[edit] History

While the original League of Legends team of Monomaniac eSports was founded in June 2011, the Starcraft II division of the team was started much later - on April 11, 2012. Monomaniac eSports started by only recruiting players that fit a very specific mold - the organization wanted lesser known players that had high potential if developed correctly, as well as highly motivated players that have the right attitude. Starting with a small roster of half a dozen members, Monomaniac eSports increased that number twofold by acquiring Visionary Gaming's entire competitive roster on May 6, 2012. With a full roster and a slew of sponsors, Monomaniac eSports culminated the month by securing a major sponsor in Razer, further bolstering the value of the organization.
