Misfits is a professional eSports organisation that has teams in various games, most notably in Counter Strike: Global Offensive,League of Legends and Overwatch.
In January 2017 Misfits acquired the ex-TSM CS:GO roster, composed of Sean "seang@res" Gares, Russel "Twistzzz" Dulken, Skylar "Relyks" Weaver, Shazeb "ShahZaM" Khan and Hunter "SicK" Mims". As part of their acquisition of the roster, Misfits gained a spot in the ESL Pro League due to their players having already qualified while representing TSM.
Misfit's League of Legends team was formed in May 2016 to compete in the European Challenger Series Summer Qualifiers after their original parent organisation, Renegades, was given a competitive ruling and banned from the competitive LoL scene. The first LoL roster of Misfits consisted of Alphari, Wisdom, Selfie, Yuuki60 and Dreams.
Misfits successfully qualified for the European Challenger Series after defeating EURONICS Gaming 3-1 in the finals. In the 2016 EU CS Summer Split, Misfits finished first and qualified for the 2017 EU LCS Spring Promotion tournament, where they defeated Schalke 3-1 and advanced to the EU LCS.
On 13 April 2017, Misfits' sister team, Misfits Academy, qualified for the 2017 EU LCS Summer Split after defeating Origen 3-0 and Fnatic Academy 3-2.
On 19 May 2017, Misfits sold its academy team and second LCS spot to the German eSports organisation Mysterious Monkeys. The entire academy roster, excluding their jungler Pridestalker, was acquired by the Mysterious Monkeys.
In late June 2016, Misfits acquired the roster of Graviton Surge, consisting of Swedish players Nicholas "Skipjack" Rosada, Jonathan "Kryw" Nobre, Andreas "Nevix" Karlsson, Terrence "SoOn" Tarlier, Sebastian "Zebbosai" Olsson and Nikolaj "Zaprey" Ian Moyes.
Misfits ventured into the professional Super Smash Bros. scene on 29 November 2016, when they signed Ryan "The Moon" Coker-Welch. The organisation later expanded to more traditional fighting games with the signing of Armando "Angelic" Mejia.
