Q4 2026 Kickoff

Q3, beyond the scoreboard

On 22 October 2026 the whole GAM family met at GAM HQ to look back on the third quarter and get ready for the last one of the year. This is what we shared.

Q3

Not the season we wanted.

Our League of Legends season ended earlier than we wanted. We hold ourselves to a higher standard, and we're already rebuilding for 2027.

But when we stepped back from the scoreboard, Q3 looked very different.

A note from TK

Q3 was a roller coaster: plenty of lessons and disappointments, but also some incredible wins. Not every battle went our way, but every experience made us stronger.

I'm proud of our team, grateful for our #GAMFAM, and even more excited for what's ahead. We're just getting started. Let's finish the year strong and get ready to level up in 2027.
