League of Legends never stops growing as far as its community and e-sport are concerned. Starting from Season 3, Riot Games showed that they were able to make e-sport grow while raising top players to the level of professional gamers.
Since the failure of the last line-up in qualifying the Millenium Up & Down, the issue of Millenium remained unsolved. Today, we are proud to announce a new line-up whose way to LCS is already secured and whose main objective will be to maintain this spot as long as possible.
The new Millenium team is none other than the old line-up Alternate whose contract was not renewed for season 4. They have been present in the LCS since the Summer Split, after winning an intense Bo5 against the GIANTS! Gaming at Summer Promotion in June. Then, they maintained their LCS spot by winning a Bo3 for 5th place against Ninjas in Pyjamas, ensuring their participation in the new edition which starts on January 14 (Editor's note: The team will play its first match against SK Gaming)

Kev1n is a veteran of League of Legends. Present since 2011 where he made his beginning with the team GAMED.DE, he will be especially noticed for his joining SK Gaming with whom he will shine for over a year and a half. During this period, he began to prove that exotics characters as Gangplank were viable but will be especially noted for his Jax and Irelia (which is his favourite hero) but also for his solid play. |

Nationality : German |

Although Kerp is a regular Toplaner player, he officiated as Midlaner from season 4 following the departure of ForellenLord and arrival of Kev1n. Although the two roles are not especially similar, Kerp has a very high individual skill that allows him to continue to shine even with this lane swaping . Relatively well-known in solo queue, he was the second player to surpass 2900 elo in season 2, just after ForellenLord.

| Regarded as one of the revelations of the season 3, Creaton returns to Millenium as an AD Carry. LCS were a way for him to shine thanks to his impeccable Ezreal and Vayne, he also managed also to be in the top 5 KDA season having played two games fewer than the others in this category . As we approach this new period, Jakub is determined to prove that he is still in top form and his game mechanics are still as relevant as ever. | |||||||||||||||||

After playing for several ephemeral teams, he is chosen to replace Krepo at MLG Dallas 2012 on the recommendations of several players. He became known thanks to his abilities as a support, thanks to Janna, champion with which he ranked as a top-player while only playing that pick (mid or support). | |||||||||||||||||

Video Statement from Rémy « Llewellys » Chanson , Esport Director for Millenium
Translation in progress
Statement from Jean-Marc « Bjoran » Gaudin , Coach for Millenium.LoL
In December I went with Llewellys in Cologne for the " up and down" as a spectator but also and especially to create some opportunities and position ourselves as a structure in search of a team for season 2014.
The idea was to get in touch with the newly qualified teams but it was another team that contacted us in the days that followed. Ex -Alternate and this option was unanimously approved of within the Millennium structure.
The presence of Creaton who was also present at Cologne has largely facilitated contacts .
This recruitment is a real teamwork as to finalize such a project it takes a financial, media strength and appropriate supervision and it is with great pleasure that we can announce that the team will play under Millenium colors for 2014 season.
The objectives will be first of all to continue in different "split" but you could see last season that without his injury, Creaton would have enabled his team to rank above the fifth position, ranking further up therefore seems not impossible if all goes well .
