Huma is a European team.
History[]
Huma was announced on December 14, 2015, as a new European Challenger team with a roster including Werlyb, Santorin, Godbro, HolyPhoenix, and je suis kaas.[1] HolyPhoenix's inclusion was the first high-profile Turkish import to the European scene. At the time of announcement, the team was playing in the EUCS 2016 Spring Open Qualifier. Huma advanced to the main qualifier and successfully entered the EUCS Spring Season. They finished the round robin with a 3-1-1 set record, winning a tiebreaker with Inspire eSports based on their 2-0 head-to-head record.
On the last day of the split, an article was released by the Daily Dot alleging that Huma's management had failed to provide compensation to their players and staff in a timely matter or at all. Additionally, the organization had refused offers to sell the roster to compLexity and was instead looking to sell Santorin's contract to Ember or another team for a buyout.[2] Statements were released by multiple support staff members corroborating the claims.[3][4][5] Dentist, Kubz, and Kamikazplatypus left the team the same day as releasing their statements.
A few days after the statements were released, Santorin left the team for Ember.[6][7] Former Unicorns of Love substitute jungler Rudy joined the team in his place.[8] Additionally, Kubz announced his intent to rejoin the team contingent on receiving payment ahead of time.[9] Initially, no punishment was given to owner Behdad Jaafarian by Riot, though he stated he would voluntarily step down from team ownership.[10] However, in September, Riot announced Huma was banned from competing in Riot tournaments, Jaafarian was banned for one year, and Huma's management had one month to sell the team's EUCS spot.[11]
