Team Curse, also known as Curse eSports, was a North American eSports organization sponsored by Curse, Inc. and based in Los Angeles. Formed as a League of Legends (LoL) team in 2010 by Steve "LiQuiD112" Arhancet, it was acquired by Curse Inc. in August 2011, and the team renamed to Team Curse. On 15 April 2014, Arhancet announced that he had purchased the eSports arm of the Curse Inc., which from then on was an organization entire separated from Curse, Inc., although they were still the title sponsor of the new Curse eSports brand.
On 19 December 2014, Curse, Inc. that it was dropping its title sponsorship of Curse eSports, after Riot Games (Riot) introduced new League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) regulations regarding sponsoring more than one team. On 6 January 2015, the organization merged with Team Liquid. Team Liquid absorbed Curse eSports' League of Legends, Street Fighter, and Super Smash Bros. Melee rosters, the corresponding management staff, and Arhancet himself. Curse eSports had also previously fielded Call of Duty, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Guild Wars 2, Heroes of the Storm, Infinite Crisis, and Hearthstone teams.
On August 25, 2011, an unsigned League of Legends roster formally under unRestricted eSports was given a sponsorship by Curse Inc., and became Team Curse. The team's initial roster was Steve "LiQuiD112" Arhancet, Brandon "DontMashMe" Phan, Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng, Thomas "SYDTKO" Oh, Eugene "Pobelter" Park, Luis "Lapaka" Perez, Chenglong "Nyjacky" Wang, and Justin "Jsura" Nguyen. Two days after they were sponsored, Team Curse attended their first major event, MLG Raleigh 2011. After losing all of their group stage matches against Counter Logic Gaming, Epik Gamer, and Team SoloMid, the team finished the event in fourth place. They attended their second North American LAN, IGN Proleague 3 (IPL 3), in October 2011, where they fell to Team Dignitas in the first round.
