Misfits Gaming (MSF) is an esports team founded in 2016 by Ben Spoont. Misfits Gaming was created after the ban of their original parent organization,Renegades, from theLeague of Legends competitive scene, which detained an American squad and a European squad called Renegades Banditos. While their American team's spot was quickly sold toTeam Envy, Renegades Banditos rebranded as a brand new team, picking up the original name of their former parent organization:Misfits, before eventually rebranding as Misfits Gaming. In a few years, they became a major western esports organization. Misfits Gaming detains also two separate team brands, The Florida Mayhem and The Florida Mutineers, playing in theOverwatch League andCall of Duty League respectively. They also previously owned aCounter-Strike: Global Offensive and anApex Legends team.
Misfits Gaming ventured into theSmash a few months after its creation by pickingMelee playerLa Luna on December 29th, 2016.[1] A few weeks later, they addedLarry Lurr to their roster, on January 13th, 2017.[2] Almost two years later, on October 31st, 2018, both players announced their departure from Misfits Gaming, thanked by their now former CEO Ben Spoont.[3][4] Their departure also meant Misfits Gaming closed itsSmash division.
