1218 finished 1st at Gamers Without Borders 2020: EMEA

1218 arrived in March 2020 by taking over the Team Pain roster, and spent the next three years as a regular in the CIS league system. The side never won a Pro League season, but it came closer than most: back-to-back second places in the PUBG Mobile Pro League CIS in 2021, first in the spring season and again in the autumn, put the team on the edge of the region's elite.

The wider record shows the same pattern. A third place at the first EMEA Championship in June 2021 and a tenth place at the European Championship that autumn bracketed the two CIS finals, while an earlier win at Gamers Without Borders 2020 in the EMEA bracket gave the roster its first trophy. The run ended in February 2023, when the team disbanded and its remaining players moved on, with Maxim Kholodnyak joining De Muerte and Andrey Nevzorov joining Excuse Me.
