Deep Cross Gaming

Foundation and Entry into League of Legends

Deep Cross Gaming was established on 20 January 2022. Just one week after its founding, on 27 January, the organization secured a competitive spot in the Pacific Championship Series (PCS). This swift entry marked DCG's immediate commitment to professional League of Legends esports in the Asia-Pacific region. The PCS was the premier league for the game in the area at the time of DCG's entry. The organization's acquisition of a slot demonstrated its ambition to compete at the highest level from its inception, bypassing lower-tier competitions.

The Move to the LCP

Deep Cross Gaming's League of Legends team now competes in the League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP). The LCP succeeded the PCS as the top-level professional league for League of Legends in the Asia-Pacific. This transition placed DCG among the region's elite teams competing for international qualification. Competing in the LCP provides the team with a direct pathway to major global tournaments like the Mid-Season Invitational and the World Championship. This league is the central competitive arena for DCG's most prominent esports division, where it faces other top teams from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia.

Sponsorship and Branding

The organization has operated under a sponsored name for its League of Legends squad. Due to a sponsorship agreement, the team competes as Relove Deep Cross Gaming. This is a common practice in esports where a title sponsor's name is incorporated into the team's official competitive branding. The sponsorship indicates commercial interest and support for the organization's competitive efforts. The core identity, however, remains Deep Cross Gaming, commonly abbreviated by fans and commentators as DCG. The sponsored name, Relove Deep Cross Gaming, is used in official league broadcasts, standings, and tournament references.

International Achievement at MSI 2026

A significant milestone for the organization was qualifying for the 2026 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI). Relove Deep Cross Gaming earned the distinction of being the second team from the LCP region to qualify for MSI 2026. MSI is one of the two premier international tournaments in the League of Legends competitive calendar each year, featuring champions from major regions worldwide. This qualification represented a major achievement for the relatively young organization, founded just four years prior. It signaled DCG's growth into a team capable of competing on the global stage against the best teams from other major regions like Korea, China, Europe, and North America.

The team's qualification was publicly congratulated, highlighting its status as a new face at the international tournament in 2026. This achievement is a key part of the organization's competitive history and demonstrates its potential within the LCP ecosystem.

A Multi-Game Organization

While its League of Legends team is its most visible division, Deep Cross Gaming maintains a broader esports portfolio. The organization fields competitive teams in other popular titles including Arena of Valor, Apex Legends, and Counter-Strike 2. This multi-game approach is typical of established esports organizations seeking to build a diverse brand and revenue streams. Each team operates within its respective game's competitive ecosystem. For Arena of Valor, a popular mobile MOBA, and its related title Honor of Kings, DCG has recorded competitive activity. This structure allows DCG to maintain a presence across different segments of the esports audience and industry, from PC tactical shooters to mobile multiplayer games.

Roster, Region, and Competitive Record

As a Taiwanese organization, Deep Cross Gaming draws its players primarily from the region. The team has featured players with in-game names like Feng, Pop9, Flauren, HongSuo, ShiauC, and XiaoXiang. Rosters in esports are fluid, with changes occurring between competitive seasons, but the team maintains its regional identity. The organization's identity is firmly rooted in Taiwan, which is a historically strong region for League of Legends. Competing in the LCP, which includes teams from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia, places DCG at the heart of regional competition. Public statistics for the organization show a record of wins and matches played, indicating an active and competitive team across its various game divisions.

Community Presence and Profile

Deep Cross Gaming maintains a profile within the esports community. The organization has an official presence on social media platforms, which is a standard practice for engaging with fans and announcing news. It is also listed on major esports wiki databases like Leaguepedia and Liquipedia, where its competitive history, roster changes, and match results are documented. These resources confirm its status as a professional esports organization based in Taiwan. The team's performance is tracked through various statistics sites that analyze champion pools, match history, and tournament performance, providing data for fans and analysts following the LCP and DCG's progress.
