The Bombers were an Australian professional League of Legends team based in the Tullamarine suburb of Melbourne.

[2] The Essendon Football Club announced on 14 December 2017 that it had purchased the OPL team Abyss Esports, becoming the second AFL team to enter the professional League of Legends scene after the Adelaide Football Club, which wholly acquired Legacy Esports in May 2017.

[citation needed] Every player on the Bombers' original roster left in the offseason before the OPL 2019 Split 1 (except for Seb, who was moved to a substitute position).

[10] The Bombers' victory in the grand finals qualified them for the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational as Oceania's representative in the play-in stage.

[12][13] The team ended third in their group and eleventh to twelfth overall with a 2–4 record, failing to qualify for the second round of the play-in stage.
