History
LGD started off sponsoring 2009's team For The Dream in 2010, who has won SMM the previous year. Boasting one of the best carries in the world, ZSMJ and other solid and strong players, LGD started the year 2010 well. However, a disappointing loss to EHOME ensured that they won't be able to participate in 2010's ESWC. Due to internal problems, LGD continued to slump despite still being a top team. The retirement of 2009 was a big blow, and although LGD still managed to place at the top, notably the 2nd place finish in 2010's SMM, they were not as strong as before.

In 2011, during the Great Chinese Reshuffle, Sharingan left for DK and was replaced by Malaysian star ChuaN, in which they started performing well, winning StarsWars 6 and G-League Season 1.

LGD was invited to The International 2011, however, Invictus Gaming made a move which took away 4 of LGD's players, rending LGD unable to participate in Valve's Dota 2 tournament. LGD has since reformed with a whole new roster surrounding ZSMJ, but continued to under-perform. ZSMJ's retirement eventually came and Sylar was the replacement. LGD has since performed well, topping their group in G-League season 3. However, they were eliminated from SMM 2011 after losing surprisingly to Mineski PowerColor twice, and only achieved 6th place.

LGD was invited to The International 2012, which took place at PAX in August. LGD had an extremely strong showing, going 14-0 in the group stage and remaining undefeated until the winner's bracket final. However, they were defeated by Natus Vincere and Invictus Gaming, finishing in 3rd and taking home $150,000.
