Even though the team was not able to join the prestigious Wild Rift Horizon Cup 2021, the team has caught the attention of a lot of Wild Rift fans from around the world.
Immortals was able to secure championship titles in various local Wild Rift esports events such as the Team Liquid Weekly: NA #6, RiftMSTRS Open Qualifiers and the Samsung Mondays - Week 3.
