This marks Immortals’ first expansion beyond League of Legends. The team was founded in October 2015 and fielded its first roster in the North American LoL Championship Series this spring.

The Brazilian squad, formerly Games Academy, have risen to prominence in the Americas since they were first acquired by Tempo in February 2016. As of press time the team are ranked 10th on HLTV's global rankings.

As part of Tempo, the team won CEVO Season 9, defeating SK Gaming 3-1 in the Grand Finals. They took second place at DreamHack Austin 2016, losing 0-2 to fellow Brazilian squad Luminosity Gaming. The team also finished second place the Americas Regional Championship and have qualified for the offline qualifier for ESL One Cologne 2016.

Their upward trajectory has continued even following the loss of their coach Luis “peacemaker” Tadau, who was acquired by Team Liquid last month. peacemaker has since been replaced by Rafael "zakk" Fernandes, who joined the team on May 28. zakk will be assisted by Robert Yip, Immortals' performance coach, who will be focusing on the team's structure and health.

Immortals’ CEO Noah Whinston spoke to ESPN’s Jacob Wolf about their new acquisition, saying, "There is no team more suited to play under the Immortals banner than this group of young, talented, hungry, and passionate players."

In an official statement posted to Immortals' Facebook page, the team’s AWPer Henrique "HEN1" Teles said, “We are very happy to join Immortals. It’s incredible the support they have given us since the first day. We have never been so motivated to reach our goals and be the best.

"We would like to thank Immortals for this opportunity and we will not take this for granted. We are going to keep doing our work and representing Immortals in the best way we can.”

Tempo Storm owner Andrey "Reynad" Yanyuk said in Immortals' statement that the sale of this roster does not mean that Tempo Storm is leaving the CS:GO scene.

"While it saddens me to part ways with the CS:GO team, Immortals will be an excellent home for them," Reynad wrote in the statement. "I am extremely proud of what they have accomplished during their time with Tempo Storm and I wish them the best of luck in their careers moving forward. We’ll be back in the CS:GO scene before long!"

The former Tempo have been invited to compete in DreamHack Summer 2016, which is slated to take place on June 18-21. However they will likely debut as Immortals in the offline qualifier for ESL One Cologne 2016, which takes place on June 9-12.
