Cyberground Gaming

Cyberground Gaming was an Italian League of Legends outfit that competed for Italy inside the EMEA competitive structure. Known by the tag CGG, the team belonged to the country’s busy domestic scene, a scene that has continually sent players up the broader European ladder. The squad no longer exists, yet its players left a mark on the Italian circuit.

An Italian Contender

Within EMEA League of Legends, Italy holds a distinct place. Its domestic play, long centred on the PG Nationals and afterwards on other Italian tournaments, gave groups such as Cyberground Gaming a base to compete from. Teams at this tier regularly fight for the top of the national table and for places in cross-regional events that gather the strongest sides from several European nations.

The Roster

Cyberground put together an unusually large lineup, with Gabbo, MGX, MxDragon, Zergsting, MattyNarcy, Gama, BlackV and Crocomux all listed. Rosters of that size point to a organisation that swapped players in and out or kept substitutes ready across its events, a typical method for clubs trying to mix experienced players with up-and-coming ones. Together, these players represented Cyberground through the grind of Italian regional competition.

Closing Chapter

Cyberground Gaming has since disbanded and now sits in the past of Italy’s League of Legends scene instead of its present. Its story resembles that of many national-level EMEA teams, which form, develop players and eventually fold, adding to the wider depth of European esports along the way. For those who follow the Italian ladder, Cyberground is still a familiar name from an early stage of the country’s competitive growth.
