Enemy was a North American team. They were originally branded as Enemy eSports.
History[]
Enemy eSports was founded in 2012 by Dan "Clerkie" Clerke, Robert "Chachi" Stemmler, and James "JR3" Ryan.
2014 Season[]
Enemy acquired the roster of Also Known As (AKA) in spring of 2014 to represent them in the NACS. The roster consisted of Potato Zero, Stan007, Jayel, SleepingDAWG, and Papa Chau. Leara (manager) and Angel (analyst) joined as support staff.[1] Unfortunately the team was unable to qualify for the NACS.
2015 Preseason[]
On September 30, Enemy eSports announced their new roster for the Spring Expansion tournament.[2] cackgod, Inori, Wolfsclaw, Otter, and Bodydrop competed under the name "The Cackson 5" in the ranked 5s ladder to qualify for the tournament. At the time of the ladder lock, they were ranked second behind Team Coast's team.
Enemy eSports placed second in the Fall NA Black Monster Cup, beating Boreal eSports and Zenith eSports before falling to Team LoLPro in the finals.
On November 17, after winning their first-round match against Noble Truth in the Expansion Tournament 2-0, Enemy announced a partnership with Azubu.[3][4] The team then lost 0-2 to Team Fusion in the second round, against MakNooN's Poppy both games.
After elimination from the Expansion Tournament, Enemy eSports underwent roster tryouts. The roster listed for the NACL New Year's Kick-off Tournament included Flaresz, Cackgod, Innox, Otter, and Bodydrop, with LOD and Wolfe as substitutes.
During late December, Enemy management decided on a Challenger Series roster of Flaresz top, Innox mid, Otter and Bodydrop in the bottom lane, and former H2K jungler and European Challenger Series winner Trashy. In early January 2015, the team moved into a gaming house in Corona, California. Unfortunately, due to Bodydrop's flight being delayed, the team needed to use a substitute support player in the ESL Pro Series Season XI, and took an upset loss against Monster Kittens.
2015 Season[]
A couple weeks later, Enemy played in the North American Challenger Series qualifiers as the #1 seed from the Ranked 5's ladder and qualified for the Challenger Series with 2-0 victories over Arbiters and Darkness.
Enemy finished the Challenger season as the top team with a 9-1 record, dropping only one game to Team Fusion. In the playoffs, they defeated Final Five and then Team Dragon Knights and successfully qualified for the Summer LCS split. After the team's LCS qualification, CEO Dan "clerkie" Clerke received an offer for $1.2 million to sell the team; however, he declined it, stating the members of the organization "...believe in this roster. These players have risked so much in the hunt for their dream, we want to take this journey with them."[5][6] Prior to the start of the summer split, Enemy dropped the "eSports" from their name and rebranded themselves as just Enemy.
Enemy's summer split performance was rocky, and they didn't finish higher than seventh place a single week after the second. They ended the split in ninth place, one game above Team Dragon Knights, narrowly avoiding autorelegation. However, in the 2016 Spring Promotion tournament, Enemy lost 3-0 to Team Coast and were sent to the Challenger Series.
2016 Season[]
Enemy rebuilt their roster completely for the 2016 season, with only otter remaining on the team from 2015 and i KeNNy u, Obvious, Wolfe, and Trance filling out the rest of their roster.[7] They were the only team not to make a single roster substitution for the entirety of the NACS spring season, but they finished in last place, with a 0-2-3 win-tie-loss record. In April, Enemy sold their NACS Summer Qualifier seed to Cloud9 Challenger, and the team disbanded.
