The team has released all of its players, but it promised that this isn’t the end of its journey in the Wild Rift esports scene.
“The Wild Rift journey isn’t over yet. Please look forward to NEXT SG!” Sengoku Gaming captioned.
The team is considered one of the powerhouse Wild Rift teams in Japan. It has won several championship titles such as the X-Moment Invitation, Japan Cup 2021, Horizon Cup 2021, and the official local Wild Rift league – Japan Cup 2022 Season 1.
While Sengoku Gaming showed dominance in the local events, it could not deliver the same performance on the international stage. The team struggled in the group stage of the Wild Rift Icons Global Championship 2022, finishing third in Group B and lost its slot in the playoffs stage.
It shall be most interesting to see who will be the new faces that will form Sengoku Gaming’s new and improved team roster for the second season of Wild Rift esports.
