Martin Shkreli, a controversial pharmaceutical professional, owns a League of Legends club named Gödel Systems. He goes by the alias “pharmabro” when he owns the squad. Martin Shkreli completed a five-year prison sentence and was discharged in May 2022. Before his imprisonment, he gained the nickname “pharmabro” for his antics within the pharmaceutical sector.
The team known as Gödel Gamers was established in January 2023 and is supported by Shkreli’s technology business, Gödel Systems. As a League of Legends team owner, he has retained that title and turned it into his alias.
Gödel Gamers dropped their entire squad and introduced a new group of players after failing to move through the NACL qualifiers with a team that included a League of Legends streamer and content creator daemon.
Furthermore, the new roster has talent comparable to that of the LCS, which increases their chances of earning a spot in the Challengers League of North America. This is in contrast with the previous roster.
Martin Shkreli signs a potentially potent League of Legends team
It’s not Shkreli’s first attempt into League of Legends competitive gaming. According to a Dot Esports story, he signed a League of Legends squad in 2016 and attempted to assemble a group that could get into the LCS.
This study also provided information regarding Shkreli’s efforts to assemble a European squad in 2015, a team that failed to advance to high-level competition.
In addition, there were claims that he underpaid coaches and employees during his time with both organizations. Martin Shkreli resumed investing in esports after he was released from prison. To help a team qualify for the Challengers League in North America, he is directly funding Gödel Gamers. Moreover, the Gödel Gamers roster is updated.
The squad of this team consists of two professionals with extensive high-level competition experience, 3 top collegiate players, and a management staff that includes a head coach and an analyst.
After spending time on the academy teams for Golden Guardians, Evil Geniuses, and Dignitas, Zheng “Tony Top” Fen has been on the verge of joining the LCS for years. He is also well-known for his excellent solo queue play.
Ethan “wallflower” Wilkinson, who served as the starting jungler for Golden Guardians for a full year, was named Iconic. The Gödel Gamers are a squad to keep an eye on because of these two seasoned players and some new collegiate talent. By using the nickname “pharmabro,” Martin Shkreli avoided having his identity used for the team announcement.
