Gambit Esports has announced that after eight years of playing in League of Legends, it will be stepping away and cutting its LoL division. The decision comes over Twitter alongside a statement from the organisation's CEO, Konstantin Pikiner.

"Making this decision was really difficult, since our organization's history began with a League of Legends squad," said Pikiner. "I want to not only thank Gambit Hall of Fame members Darien, Alex_Ich, Genja, Edward and Diamondprox but also all of the other players, coaches, analysts and managers, who represented us at international, European and regional arenas. I would also like to thank Riot Games for a fruitful partnership that has spanned for eight years and got transferred to Valorant. More than anything else I would like to thank our wonderful fans from all over the world. Unfortunately, this exciting journey has come to an end, but we are grateful that you have walked this path together with us."
