Schedule History

Lyon Gaming is a professional League of Legends team from Latin America. In November 2017 it was determined that the organization did not own the rights to its branding or logo, and the team rebranded to Rainbow7 for the 2018 Season.

History

Lyon was founded by Karzek, FraGio, and Nikez in the early 2013 with the sole purpose of creating a highly competitive team for its region. Even though the squad did not make any early major appearance, they were considered to be one of the top contenders from Latin America since the start due to their player’s individual skill and achievements.

In late April, Porky joined as their first Sub while Seiya replaced their former AD Carry, Cpt Cahdez.

On May 14, Carreira decided to leave the team to pursue his own personal goals. NerzhuL joined briefly after to fulfill the Support role.

2015 Preseason

Lyon Gaming qualified for IEM San Jose with a roster consisting of Porky, Thyak, Seiya, NerzhuL, and Arce. However, NerzhuL and Arce were unable to attend the event due to visa issues, and so Maplestreet and Dodo8, the bot lane of Team 8 substituted for the team. They were eliminated in the quarterfinals, losing 0-2 to Unicorns of Love and tied for fifth place with paiN Gaming.

2016 Season

In 2016, Lyon Gaming started the year as the top team in Latin America North and qualified for the IWCI 2016, their first chance to compete internationally. However, their performance at the IWCI fell short of expectations, as they struggled against teams from other regions and failed to advance far in the tournament. This disappointing result fueled their determination to improve and led them to refine their strategies and teamwork.

Later that year, Lyon returned to the international stage at the IWCQ 2016 with renewed focus and skill. They had a strong showing throughout the tournament, culminating in an intense, five-game series against Russia’s Albus NoX Luna, where they narrowly missed out on a spot at Worlds. Although they ultimately fell in the fifth game, Lyon’s performance at the IWCQ redeemed their earlier loss and solidified their reputation as a leading team in Latin America.

2017 Season

In 2017, Lyon Gaming cemented its reputation as the top team in Latin America North with an undefeated year, winning both the Opening and Closing Season championships. This dominance earned them slots at major international tournaments: the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational and the 2017 World Championship. Lyon Gaming showcased their exceptional talent, led by players like Seiya, Oddie, WhiteLotus, Jirall, and Genthix, and represented Latin America on the global stage, even as they faced tough opponents from more established regions.

Despite their success, 2017 also brought an unexpected challenge for the organization. The "Lyon Gaming" brand was legally owned by former player Thyak, who retained the trademark rights even after leaving the team. Attempts to negotiate ownership of the brand were unsuccessful, forcing the organization to rebrand. In November 2017, Lyon Gaming officially became Rainbow7. While the rebrand marked the end of the Lyon Gaming name, it also signaled a new chapter for the team. Rainbow7 carried forward Lyon’s legacy, remaining a dominant force in Latin America.
