At season 3 worlds Gambit was part of a 5 team group also containing Fnatic, Vulcun, Mineski and Samsung Galaxy Ozone from Korea. The teams played each other twice and after 8 games Fnatic was on top going 7-1 (only losing to Vulcun once).
Gambit and Samsung who split their 2 matches and each went 0-2 against FNC were tied at 2nd place with a 5-3 record. A tiebreaker was needed to determine who advances into Quarters which Gambit ended up winning.
This still marks the only time a Korean team did not make it out of groups at worlds and also the origin of the "Dade award" who was the midlaner for Samsung at that time.
Fun fact: The exact same Samsung lineup minus Dade (who went to Samsung Blue) won Season 4 worlds under the name Samsung White.
