Incredible Miracle was a professional gaming team based in South Korea. Previously Incredible Miracle sponsored two sister teams, IM 1 and IM 2 (IM 1 was formerly known as "Incredible Miracle," but see that team's history at Incredible Miracle 1.)
History
Season 2
Incredible Miracle was initially formed in May 2012, with a roster of a Lilac, Paragon, MidKing, Tatu, and Ring Troll. They essentially picked up the former Team OP when Cornsalad replaced Tatu shortly after the team was formed. They qualified for the Season 2 Korea Regional Finals but lost 3-1 in the first round to NaJin Sword and missed out on Worlds.
Season 3
The team competed in the OGN Club Masters but placed last in their group and missed the playoffs. Incredible Miracle was eventually renamed to Incredible Miracle 1 after the organization picked up a second team, Incredible Miracle 2. IM2 featured a roster of PLL, SoFantasy, kurO, BBuing, and Reign over. Both teams performed poorly all year and failed to qualify for Worlds.
2014 Season
Incredible Miracle as an organization participated in the SK Telecom LTE-A LoL Masters 2014. They placed last at the tournament, with a 1-5 set record and 5-13 game record. Once again, neither IM team had a good year and the organization did not send a team to Worlds.
2015 Season
In November 2014, it was announced that Korean teams could no longer have two separate rosters, and Incredible Miracle's teams disbanded, reforming a single team simply called Incredible Miracle, consisting of Lilac, Wisdom, Frozen, S0NSTAR, and TuSin. The team participated in the Champions Spring 2015 Qualifier along with HUYA Tigers, Prime Clan, and Xenics; IM and HUYA qualified for the season. In the Spring Preseason, Incredible Miracle placed eighth, with an 0-1-3 Win-Tie-Loss record. IM placed seventh overall in SBENU Champions Spring 2015 and were forced to play in the Champions Summer 2015 Promotion. They were placed in a group with Anarchy and Winners and they managed to win both of their series, qualifying for SBENU Champions Summer 2015. Incredible Miracle ended the season ninth overall and chose to play against Dark Wolves in the LCK 2016 Season Spring Promotion for a spot in the next season of LCK. IM competed in the 2015 LoL KeSPA Cup where they lost 2-1 against the Jin Air Green Wings in the first round.
