History

Overwatch APEX (2016–2017)

After the release of Overwatch in 2016, League of Legends streamer Yoon "Runner" Dae-hoon created and founded the team RunAway. [1] [2] The team's initial roster included Kim "Shine" Min-hyuk, Kim "Mono" Hyung-sun, Kim "Haksal" Hyo-jong, Ryu "Kaiser" Sang-hoon, Seok "Quad" Joo-hyung, and Runner himself. [3] Funded entirely by Runner, RunAway did not have a team house or analysts like many other professional Overwatch teams but was able to qualify for OGN APEX Season One, a major Overwatch tournament series in South Korea. However, they were eliminated from the tournament after going 1–2 in the group stages. [4]

After qualifying for OGN APEX Season Two, RunAway was able to make it past the two group stages and into the playoffs, where the team faced LW Blue in the semifinals. After four maps, the series was tied 2-2. In the fifth map, Kaiser, on Reinhardt, executed a five-man Earthshatter on RunAway's Eichenwalde attack to secure a victory and send RunAway to the Grand Finals. [5] The team faced Lunatic-Hai in the finals. While RunAway took a quick 3–1 lead in the series, they dropped three consecutive maps to end the tournament in second place. [1]

With no sponsors and no team house for practice, financial struggles burdened the team during APEX Season Three. Main Tank Kaiser left the team to join Cloud9 only two matches into the season; Runner noted that the Kaiser's decision to leave was to find a more stable income. [6] [7] In APEX, RunAway failed to advance past the first round of the group stages. In the following weeks, two players and team coach Kim "Nomy" Min-yong left the team. [8] [9]

Needing more time and income to support his family and feeling that the players deserved a better team to play on, Runner considered disbanding RunAway, but his wife Lee "Flowervin" Hyun-ah convinced him to change his mind. [3] [9] [8] Flowervin and Runner rented an apartment using their money from their streaming incomes and surprised the players of RunAway. [2] The team then succeeded in securing an equipment sponsorship with Logitech, Runner decided to take on the role of the team coach, [8] and Kaiser returned to the team after playing two months with Cloud9 as the team prepared for APEX Season Four. [10]

During APEX Season Four, the team performed solidly in the two group stages and advanced to the playoffs, where they took on NC Foxes in the semifinals. Despite a close first map, RunAway swept NC Foxes by a score of 4–0 to advance to the Grand Finals, where they took on GC Busan. [11] In the finals matchup, the series was tied up 3–3 after six maps. In the final map, Eichenwalde, GC Busan was able to push the payload to the end with no time remaining on their attack; RunAway was unable to complete the map, as the team fell in map seven of the APEX Grand Finals for the second time. [12] Seven days later, the team made it to the finals of the APAC Premier 2017, major Chinese Overwatch tournament, but fell, again, to GC Busan by a 1–4 scoreline. [1]

Overwatch Contenders (2018–2021)

In the following months after the team's loss at the APAC Premier, multiple players left the team and Runner announced that he would be stepping down from the team to serve his mandatory military service; [3] in his stead, Flowervin took up the role as team manager. [13] As the inception of the Overwatch League was approaching, players from all over the world were being signed to the new franchises, but all the players of RunAway decided to stay together with a core of Kim "Haksal" Hyo-jong, Choi "JJANU" Hyeon-woo, Park "Bumper" Sang-beom, and Lee "Stitch" Chung-hee. RunAway began preparing to compete in the newly formed Overwatch Contenders. [14] [15]

RunAway performed well in the group stages of the first season of Korean Contenders and made it to the playoffs. In the quarterfinals, the team narrowly defeated KongDoo Panthera by a score of 3–2, however, they were defeated by X6 Gaming in the semifinals. [3]

Heading into season two of Contenders, RunAway signed Lee "Hooreg" Dong-eun from the London Spitfire to join the existing players of Haksal, Bumper, Stitch, JJANU, Twilight, SLIME, and SeoMinSoo. [16] The team once again made it to the playoffs, where they defeated MVP Space and Element Mystic in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively. They faced KongDoo Panthera in the Grand Finals. The match went to 8 maps in a best-of-7 series, and RunAway emerged victorious, claiming their first ever championship. [1] [17] The team carried on that success into their next tournament, the 2018 Summer NetEase Esports X Tournament (NeXT), where they defeated The One Winner in the finals to claim another tournament title. [18]

With the Overwatch League adding eight new expansion franchises, RunAway was expected to be picked up in its entirety by one of the expansion teams. [18] In October 2018, Flowervin announced that her team's full roster was signed by an undisclosed Overwatch League team, later to be revealed as the Vancouver Titans. [19] [20]

Under an entirely new roster, RunAway continued their dominance in 2018 Season Three of Contenders, bolstering one of the most statistically successful iterations of the organization. The team defeated KongDoo Panthera and WGS Armament in the playoffs to move on to the Korea regional finals. [21] [22] RunAway defeated Element Mystic in the finals to claim their second Overwatch Contenders title. [23] Less than a week later, the team won the 2018 Winter NetEase Esports X Tournament, their second NeXT title, defeating LGD Gaming in the finals by a score of 4–1. [24]

In 2019 Season One of Contenders, RunAway claimed the top seed in the playoffs, but were eliminated in their first playoff match, the semifinals, by O2 Blast; the 0–3 loss subsequently disqualified RunAway from the Pacific Showdown. [25] Following the loss, RunAway competed in the 2019 Spring NetEase Esports X Tournament, where they claimed their third straight NeXT title. [26] The following season, RunAway posted a 4–3 record in the group stages to claim the fourth seed in the regional playoffs. [27] After defeating Fusion University and O2 Blast in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively, the team took on Element Mystic in the finals. After five maps, RunAway held a 3–2 lead, as the match went to King's Row. Led by a stellar performance by DPS Jeong "Heesu" Hee-su on Hanzo, RunAway won the map in overtime rounds to claim their third Overwatch Contenders title. [28] Due to their regional title, the team qualified as the top seed in The Gauntlet, an interregional, Contenders tournament. [29] Bypassing the group stages due to their seed, RunAway first took down Gen.G Esports, 3–0, in the upper-bracket semifinals of the double-elimination tournament. [30] In the winners' final, the team fell to Element Mystic, sending them to the lower bracket finals. [31] The team was eliminated in lower bracket finals, losing to ATL Academy and finishing the tournament in third place. [32] The following month, RunAway competed in the 2019 Autumn NeXT tournament, finishing in second place after falling to Element Mystic in the finals, 3–4. [33]

In the 2020 season, RunAway finished as the runners-up in Season 2. In 2021 Season 1, they finished in fifth. [34]

In June 2021, RunAway disbanded its Overwatch division. [34]

Overwatch Champions Series (2024–present)

On February 14, 2024, Runner announced on Twitter that RunAway would be returning to competitive play for the inaugural Overwatch Champions Series season. [35]
