MVP joined the professional League of Legends scene on May 7, 2012, when it formed three teams: MVP White, MVP Blue, and MVP Red. MVP Red disbanded a few months later, but MVP White and MVP Blue went on to participate in multiple seasons of the Champions league. In February 2013, the organization shuffled the rosters of the two teams, and MVP White (now renamed to MVP Ozone) became the flagship team. With a roster consisting of top laner Yoon "Homme" Sung-young, jungler Choi "DanDy" In-kyu, mid laner Bae "Dade" Eo-jin, bot laner Gu "imp" Seung-bin, and support Cho "Mata" Se-hyeong, MVP Ozone won Champions Spring 2013 with a 3–0 sweep of CJ Blaze in the finals. In September 2013, Samsung Electronics acquired both MVP rosters, forming Samsung Ozone and Samsung Blue.
MVP announced in November 2015 that it would return to League of Legends,[5] and in December they announced a new roster of relatively unknown players: top laner Kang "ADD" Geon-mo, Kim "Beyond" Kyu-seok, mid laner An "Ian" Jun-hyeong, bot laner Oh "MaHa" Hyun-sik, and support Cha "ChaResh" In-myeong.
