= Fnatic
=That myRevenge squad was picked up by Fnatic, with whom Martinez won the Season 1 League of Legends World Championship held at DreamHack. In 2013, he was a part of the Fnatic squad that played in the first ever split of League of Legends Championship Series Europe, eventually winning both the Spring and Summer Split, with him being named the Summer Split playoffs MVP. At IEM Season VI Katowice, Martinez "backdoored" SK Gaming in a play regarded as one of the most iconic in League of Legends history due to how he accomplished it under pressure, near death, and while the enemy team was about to destroy his own base. In 2014, he won another Spring Split title with Fnatic, but lost in the Summer Split finals to Alliance. After the Season 4 World Championship, Martinez announced his departure from Fnatic with the intention to create a new team. On 7 December 2014, the formation of Origen was officially announced, with Martinez assuming the position of a player manager. In its first season as a professional team, Origen won the Europe Challenger Series title and finished second in the Summer Split of the European LCS. Martinez and Origen qualified for the Season 5 World Championship, having qualified through the regional gauntlet. At Worlds they got to the semi-finals of the playoff bracket before losing to SK Telecom T1. Overall, Martinez had the highest Creep Score (CS) of any player in the tournament.
= Origen
=Origen was initially founded by xPeke in December 2014 after he departed Fnatic to found his own team. Jungler Amazing (of Team SoloMid), support Mithy (formerly of Lemondogs), and rookie AD carry Niels (now called Zven) joined xPeke as he played mid lane. xPeke's former Fnatic teammate sOAZ joined shortly thereafter to play top lane. Origen established a base and gaming house in Tenerife in the Canary Islands of Spain in the beginnings.
In 2018 it was reported that Astralis' parent company RFRSH Entertainment had acquired Origen and would use their name and brand for their EU LCS entry as part of the 2019 European franchise program. On November 20, Riot Games confirmed Origen as one of the ten partner teams for the LEC 2019 Spring Split. xPeke stayed under the organization as an Origen ambassador and has an ownership.
