Enemy or NME was a North American eSports organization with players and teams in League of Legends, Call of Duty, Smite, and Super Smash Bros. They were originally branded as Enemy eSports. Enemy's League of Legends team competed in the League of Legends Championship Series but has since been relegated to the League of Legends Challenger Series. They ended all operations in 2017.
Enemy eSports was founded in 2012 by Dan "Clerkie" Clerke, Robert "Chachi" Stemmler, James "JR3" Ryan, and Ben Caceres. In May Enemy eSports announced that they had rejected a $1.2 million offer from Martin Shkreli.
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 theangelvigil|Angel (analyst) joined as support staff. Unfortunately the team was unable to qualify for the NACS.
On September 30, Enemy eSports announced their new roster for the Spring Expansion tournament. cackgod, Liquid Inori|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 2014 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. 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.
