HLE has participated in around 23 tournaments, receiving direct invitations to roughly 15 of them. Their journey began with a 6th-place finish at the LCK 2018 Summer tournament, but they've significantly improved since then. Recent successes include victories at the First Stand 2025 and LCK Cup 2025, a 3rd-place finish at KeSPA Cup 2024, and a 5th-place finish at Worlds 2024. Their consistent performance in the LCK (League of Champions Korea) league, including multiple top-three finishes, highlights their skill and competitive spirit.
Currently, HLE's roster features a formidable lineup including Peanut, Viper, Zeka, Zeus, and Delight – all highly skilled Korean players. Over the years, however, the team has seen a significant number of players (approximately 50) come and go, including notable names such as Chovy, Lehends, and Doran. This constant evolution reflects the dynamic nature of professional esports and the team's commitment to finding the best possible combination of talent.
Since the introduction of the team ranking system in June 2020, HLE's ranking has fluctuated. They've reached the pinnacle, holding the #1 spot multiple times in 2025, while also experiencing periods of lower rankings, their lowest ever being 16th place. As of May 14th, 2025, they are ranked #1 out of approximately 243 teams, demonstrating their current dominance and potential for future success.
