Variety's New Team

Variety's New Team was a European SMITE team.

History
Variety's New Team was formed, obviously, by Variety. Despite accusations of Variety being an exceptional weak player throughout Season 1 and 2, and fairly average throughout Season 3, he showed signs of stronger play throughout the latter half of Season 3, especially with and. His improvement culminated during the 2017 SMITE World Championship when he was on Obey Alliance, showing a marked difference even from a mere month earlier during Regionals. During the World Championship, Variety solo killed Dimi, the solo laner for the reigning World Champions NRG Esports multiple times, something believed to be impossible by the general public. Despite his incredible performance, Obey Alliance did not win the World Championship, beaten by NRG Esports 3-1. The MVP award was also given to NRG Esports hunter player emilitoo, despite most of the fans agreeing that Variety should have won the award regardless of whether he won the actual championship.

Shortly afterwards, Variety left Obey Alliance to create a new team that he believed could be #1. With the standard "Rosterpocalypse" in the after-season, Variety had his pick of the litter. The third European team that was seen as a "superteam" by fans, Orbit eSports (although they did not make the World Championship), had cracked apart, and popular members QvoFred and Trixtank joined in the jungle and support roles. The coach for NRG Esports, Zyrhoes, had been a highly skilled solo laner and jungler in the past for Cringe Crew and SK Gaming, although his most renowned role was in the middle lane, and in Zyrhoes's search for a new team, Variety invited Zyrhoes to the team, who quickly joined the new superteam. Finally, Arkkyl, the hunter player and lone representative for Sanguine Esports, who had previously kicked his team was invited. These five players came to be known as Variety's New Team.

Shortly after the open bracket, they were picked up by Team Dignitas, acquiring the org's spot and allowing them instant access to the SPL.
