Disguised

Founding and Rapid Expansion

Disguised was officially launched in January 2023 when founder Jeremy Wang announced a Valorant team. The initial roster was built around three players from the former Knights squad, supplemented by veteran in-game leader Steel and rookie Clear. The organization qualified for the Valorant Challengers League in North America just days later. Within its first year, Disguised demonstrated an aggressive expansion strategy, entering the League of Legends NACL in June, forming an Apex Legends team in August, and signing players for Teamfight Tactics events by October. This rapid growth was closely tied to Wang's personal brand, with team matches frequently streamed on his Twitch channel, marked by his intense investment in their performance.

The organization secured its first competitive trophy in the summer of 2023 when its League of Legends team won the NACL summer split. Wang's work in building and promoting Disguised was recognized later that year when he was awarded Esports Personality of the Year for 2023. The organization continued to branch out in 2024, entering the fighting game scene by signing Tekken 8 player PhiDX and announcing a partnership with Chipotle Mexican Grill. In early 2026, Disguised announced the formation of an Overwatch team, planning its first games in Korea as part of a bootcamp.

Valorant: A Rocky Journey Across Regions

Disguised's Valorant division has experienced significant volatility and regional shifts. Its initial North American roster, featuring the high-profile signing of former star Jaccob 'yay' Whiteaker, struggled, culminating in an 11-game losing streak and relegation from the VCL NA. The team was released shortly after. Alongside its main squad, Disguised briefly ventured into the Valorant Game Changers scene. Its first foray in March 2023 was a content creator-centric team that was humorously 'dropped' after failing to qualify. A more competitive Game Changers roster was signed in July 2023, but the organization exited the space entirely by December, citing systemic issues within the league.

In 2024, Disguised re-entered Valorant by partnering with Bleed Esports as an affiliate team, notably shifting its competitive region from North America to the Pacific. This new roster competed in VCL Malaysia/Singapore. The team's journey was marred by a match-fixing investigation involving player JayH, who was later cleared, leading to several roster changes. Despite the turmoil, this squad found success by winning the playoffs of split two, earning a spot at the VCT Ascension Pacific tournament. Although they did not win Ascension, they later won split three of the new VCL Southeast Asia league in 2024.

However, Disguised's Valorant presence in Southeast Asia was short-lived. In January 2025, the organization announced its withdrawal from the VCL Southeast Asia league. The decision was driven by a conflict with broadcasting rights, as the league's exclusive deal with South Korean platform SOOP prevented Disguised from costreaming matches on Twitch, a core part of its content strategy.

League of Legends: NACL Success and Rebuilding

Disguised entered the North American Challengers League in June 2023 with a roster built around three players from the reigning champion Cloud9 Challengers squad: FakeGod, Tomio, and Zeyzal. This experienced lineup delivered immediate success, winning the NACL summer split and securing the organization's first championship. In a move to support player advancement, Disguised released the entire winning roster afterward, enabling most players to move up to the top-tier LCS.

The organization chose to remain in the NACL for 2024 but with a completely new lineup, bringing back only Young from the previous year. This new team underperformed in the spring split, finishing seventh in the regular season. For the summer split, the roster underwent several changes, including the addition of bot laner Tomo and jungler Yukino, while coach Inero departed for Immortals. The team's plans were disrupted mid-split when Tomo was signed by 100 Thieves, forcing top laner Tenacity to temporarily switch to the bot lane role.

Apex Legends and The Dojo

Disguised's first Apex Legends team, signed in August 2023, was the previously unsigned squad 'Dudes Night Out' featuring dooplex, lou, and senoxe. The team had already qualified for the ALGS Championship but placed 33rd at the event and was subsequently released. For the 2024 season, Disguised's fortunes changed when it was selected as one of twelve teams for the expanded ALGS partnership program.

In January 2024, Disguised signed the popular and successful squad known as 'The Dojo', which had finished fourth at the previous ALGS Championship. The roster included high-profile streamer iiTzTimmy, who remained a content creator for 100 Thieves, alongside Dezignful and Enemy. This team placed eighth in the Split 1 Playoffs and qualified for the 2024 ALGS Championship. After iiTzTimmy departed for Moist Esports in June 2024, the team recruited qzier as a replacement and competed at the 2024 Esports World Cup.

Expansion into Other Titles

Beyond its core teams, Disguised has established a presence in several other competitive scenes. In preparation for the Teamfight Tactics Vegas Open in late 2023, the organization signed ten players, including founder Disguised Toast himself. During the event, it added two more competitors, with Broccóli achieving a third-place finish overall.

In May 2024, Disguised entered the fighting game community by signing Tekken 8 player PhiDX. The organization's most recent expansion came in January 2026 with the announcement of a North American Overwatch team. The roster featured players PGE, Lep, Rokit, Scyle, and Tred, with Raikker and Reyzr as substitutes, and planned to begin play with a bootcamp in Korea.
