History

[edit]
Group stage game at the Wuhan Sports Center Gymnasium during the 2017 League of Legends World Championship between Royal Never Give Up and Fenerbahçe

The team was established on 14 October 2016 when the 1907 Fenerbahçe Association, under the leadership of Ali Koç, took over all rights of the League of Legends team, SuperMassive eSpor in the Championship League.[2][3] On November 23rd, Thaldrin became the first name to join the team and also took on the role of team captain.[4] On November 24th, coach Chris "MoSiTing" Würger joined the team.[5] On December 10, 2016, it was announced that Reach, Frozen, Un1tback, J1mmy and JAPONE had joined the team.[6] On January 8, 2017, Padden and Elysion joined as 2 marksmen.[7] 1907 Fenerbahçe, which could not meet expectations during the winter season, beat HWA Gaming 3-2 in the semifinals, but lost 3-1 to SuperMassive in the semifinals and was eliminated in the semifinals. 1907 Fenerbahçe, who parted ways with Elysion, Un1tback and Reach in the summer, transferred Move. The team, which entered this season with momentum, finished the regular season in 1st place. Despite not being shown as the favorite in the final, they became champions by defeating SuperMassive 3-0 in the Turkish Grand Final played at Ülker Sports and Event Hall on August 19, 2017.

1907 Fenerbahçe, who parted ways with Move and transferred Chaser in 2018, could not start the season as they wanted and finished the regular season in 3rd place, performing much lower than the previous year. They fell far short of expectations by losing 3-1 to Team Aurora in the quarter-finals of the play-offs. The team, which transferred Move again in the summer, still performed similarly to the winter season and finished the league in 3rd place. Although they defeated Bursaspor Esports 3-1 in the play-offs, they were eliminated in the semi-finals by losing 3-1 to SuperMassive.

The management, who made radical decisions in 2019, parted ways with all of their players except Only35 and rebuilt the squad. They transferred Ruin, the former top laner of Gians Gaming, to the top lane, Kirei, who was the jungler of Dark Passage last season, to the jungler position, Bolulu, who was part of the Red Bull Factions 2018 champion Team Forge, to the mid lane, Hades, who played for Bursaspor Esports last season, and Japone, with whom they won the Summer Split championship. They finished the season in first place with 14 consecutive wins, and became champions by defeating SuperMassive 3-0 in the season finale. The team had the worst season in its history in the summer, finishing the first 9 weeks of the league in 2nd place with 7 wins and 2 losses, but finished the league in 6th place with 9 wins and 9 losses.

After sweeping SuperMassive 3–0 in the 2019 League of Legends TCL Winter finals, Fenerbahçe qualified for the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational as Turkey's representative in the play-in stage.[8] The team was placed in Group A of the first round of the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational play-in stage, along with Vietnamese team Phong Vũ Buffalo, Australian team Bombers, and Argentine team Isurus Gaming.[9][10] Fenerbahçe ended the group round robin with a 4–2 record, tying Phong Vũ Buffalo for 1st and forcing a tiebreaker match, which Fenerbahçe lost.[11]
