Ground Zero Gaming (GZ) is an Australianesports organisation. It has professional teams competing inCounter-Strike 2,League of Legends, andRocket League. ItsLeague of Legends team is based inTaiwan and competes in theLeague of Legends Championship Pacific, the top professional league for the game in theAsia-Pacific. Outside of professional competition, Ground Zero also organises and hosts esports tournaments in Australia.
Ground Zero joined the professionalLeague of Legends scene in 2018, playing one season in the Oceanic Challenger Series, the secondary league of theOceanic Pro League (OPL). In 2022 Ground Zero acquired theORDER's spot in theLeague of Legends Circuit Oceania (LCO), the successor to the OPL. The team later won both splits of the 2024 season and competed in the playoffs of thePacific Championship Series (PCS). After that year, Ground Zero moved to the PCS after the LCO was discontinued and the PCS was demoted to a secondary league for Asia-Pacific teams.[1]
Following the 2025 season,Riot Games announced that Ground Zero had been chosen as a guest team to replace partner teamPSG Talon in theLeague of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP); PSG had been removed from the league for failing to pay its players and staff.[2][3][4] Because LCP matches are played in-person inTaiwan, Ground Zero opted to rebuild with a Taiwanese roster in mind, despite fans' hope of Oceania's return to the LCP followingThe Chiefs Esports Club's relegation at the end of the 2025 season.[5]
