Royal Never Give Up was formed in 2015 with the acquisition of Vici Potential Gaming, they formed a roster that consisted of more than 5 players: LetMe, GodLike, Skye, Mlxg, Xiaohu, Wuxx and LeY. In their debut LPL 2015 Summer Season, they did not put up much of a fight, with a 9-12th place exit. Despite this, the team received an invite to the IEM World Championship, where Looper and Mata would join the team. They topped their groups, but eventually fell against Fnatic in a 1-2 loss. This showed promise for the team heading into the 2016 Spring Season, where they managed to claim the title with a 3-1 finals victory against EDward Gaming. At MSI 2016, Royal Never Give Up placed 3-4th after losing to the Korean SK Telecom T1. The same roster stuck together and placed 2nd in the 2016 Summer Season, securing them a slot at Worlds, where they'd place 5-8th after once again losing 1-3 against SK Telecom T1.
