Team Liquid absorbed Curse eSports' League of Legends, Street Fighter, and Super Smash Bros. Melee rosters, the corresponding management staff, and Arhancet himself.

[4] Curse eSports had also previously fielded Call of Duty, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Guild Wars 2, Heroes of the Storm, Infinite Crisis, and Hearthstone teams.

The team's initial roster was Steve "LiQuiD112" Arhancet, Brandon "DontMashMe" Phan, Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng, Thomas "SYDTKO" Oh, Eugene "Pobelter" Park, Luis "Lapaka" Perez, Chenglong "Nyjacky" Wang, and Justin "Jsura" Nguyen.

[8] Despite the departure of some of their key players, Curse was still able to play in the second season of the National ESL Premier League, placing second behind Counter Logic Gaming.

[12][13] Having been benched from Counter Logic Gaming, Cody "Elementz" Sigfusson joined Team Curse on December 19, 2011, while LiQuiD112 stepped down to a managing role.

[16] Although March's IEM World Championship in Hanover was to prove the last event SYDTKO attended, his position on the team was still unclear as of an interview he gave on July 13, before his retirement from professional play some time afterwards.

[29] Team Curse progressed through each stage without losing a single game, and so secured a spot in the inaugural Spring Split of the NA LCS, beginning February 27, 2013.

[37] On October 7, the organization announced that Cop and Nyjacky would be moving to the newly formed Team LoLPro, being replaced by Zaqueri "Aphromoo" Black and Eugene "Pobelter" Park.

[47] Team Curse finished fourth in both the regular season and playoffs, beating Counter Logic Gaming in the quarterfinals before losing to both Cloud9 and LMQ, disqualifying them once again from World Championship contention.

[51] On September 24 the team hired former LMQ head coach Peter Zhang, and on December 13, Curse announced that Jae-hun "FeniX" Kim would replace Voyboy for the 2015 season.

[58] On August 16, 2012, Curse EU competed at the Season 2 European Regional Finals at Gamescom, where they lost to Fnatic in the quarterfinals, failing to secure a League of Legends World Championship seed.

[60] Having competed in the online group stages in late October, the team attended the Tales of the Lane offline finals on November 11, 2012, in Paris.

The announced roster was Keenan "Rhux" Santos, Christian "IWillDominate" Rivera, Eugene "Pobelter" Park, Johnny "Altec" Ru, and Orie "YoDa" Guo.

[75] In the first month after the team's inception, YoDa was replaced by David "Pixel" Zarinski[76] This roster was not eligible to compete in the North American League of Legends Championship Series (NA LCS), given IWillDominate's then-ongoing ban, and Altec and Pobelter being ineligible due to their age.

[77][78] In mid-March, despite their ineligibility, Curse Academy participated in an NA LCS Summer Promotion Qualifier at the 2013 MLG Winter Championship in Dallas.

[79] After Pixel was replaced by Dylan "AtomicN" Newton later that month, the team attended the IPL Summer Promotion Qualifier in early April, taking second after losing to Quantic Gaming.

[101] On December 31, OneBadBrad announced that he had left Curse Academy, and on January 6, 2014, Tsatsulow was replaced by Nicolas "Gleebglarbu" Haddad, and Patrick "Titours" Lefort also joined.

[102][103] Gleebglarbu left the team to join Cloud9 Tempest two weeks later on January 21, and at some point before the end of the month Jamie "Sheep" Gallagher replaced him.

[104][105][106] From February until the end of April, Curse Academy competed in the Spring Season of Riot Games' newly created North American Challenger Series (NACS), which had become the only route to secure promotion into the NA LCS.

[114] David "Diamond" Bérubé filled the same position in the team's win against vVv Gaming in the third place match on March 29, and Zekent announced his retirement from professional play four days later on April 2.

[115][116] Winning this match gave Curse Academy enough circuit points to qualify for the NACS Spring Playoffs, where K1pro again filled the vacant spot.

The team lost to LMQ in the semifinals of the event, before falling to compLexity.Black in the third place match, narrowing missing out on a Summer Promotion Tournament seed.

[119] Curse Academy used various substitute players for the next few events, but the team's full roster eventually stabilized as Cristian "Cris" Rosales, Brandon "Saintvicious" DiMarco, Zachary "mancloud" Allan Hoschar, Joshua "Impactful" Mabrey, and Bunny FuFuu.

[71] The team initially consisted of Chenglong "Nyjacky" Wang, David "Cop" Roberson, Cruz "Cruzerthebruzer" Odgen, and Brian "TrickZ" Ahn, with no fifth player announced.

[146] However, by October 14 Cop had moved back to the main League of Legends Championship Series team, and was briefly replaced by Jonathan "Demunlul" McCulloch, before he too left.

[150] In January 2014, Team LoLPro attempted to join Riot Games' newly created North American Challenger Series (NACS), but failed to do so after being knocked out in the first round of the online qualifier.

[152] This loss meant Team LoLPro missed out on a seed into the Spring Playoffs, and Nyjacky was replaced by Devon "Hoodstomp" Mark two days later.

Neither Hoodstomp nor Lohpally played in the team's semifinal defeat against Curse Academy, and were instead replaced by Jordan "Patoy" Blackburn and Peter "Heartbeat" Lim.

[137] The new Team LoLPro roster of Cuong "Flaresz" Ta, Thomas "Thinkcard" Slotkin, David "Yusui" Bloomquist, Apollo "WizFujiiN" Price, and Yuri "KEITHMCBRIEF" Jew qualified for the North American iteration of this tournament after finishing in fourth place on the League of Legends team ladder-rankings at the end of the qualifying period.
