In 2018, Origen was acquired by RFRSH Entertainment, a company that owned Danish CS:GO team Astralis.

In the playoffs, Origen swept Unicorns of Love and defeated H2k-Gaming, but ultimately lost to G2 Esports in the 2016 Spring EU LCS finals, finishing the split in 2nd place.

Origen surprised many by struggling in the 2016 Summer EU LCS, where they finished 9th, the penultimate place.

In April 2018, Origen announced that former KT Rolster jungler Choi "inSec" In-Seok, Ki "Expect" Dae-han, formerly of G2 Esports, World Championship semi-finalists Henrik "Froggen" Hansen and Konstantinos "FORG1VEN" Tzortziou as well as Jesse "Jesiz" Le of Fnatic would be their roster for the upcoming tournament.

Origen came first place in the European Masters competition, defeating Polish side Illuminar Gaming 3–0 in the final.

On 20 November 2018, RFRSH Entertainment (parent company of Astralis) officially announce participation in the LEC with Origen.
