The once Team Siren, were a League of Legends "pro" (Silver League) team, that consisted of:

A Little Jenny (Mid)
Christina (AD Carry)

Solvanas (Support)
Yoonie (Top)

On the same day Team Siren's promo video was released May 30th, 2013^[1], it was reposted to Reddit's /r/cringe sub-reddit^[2], as well as the /r/leagueoflegends sub-reddit. The video was frowned upon by a large majority of the Reddit community, mainly for trying to pave their way into competitive play by using their gender, and for scoring very low on the League of Legends promotion scene. Unfortunately, instead of just being left alone, Redditors spread the message, and Team Siren were quickly known by a huge majority of the League of Legends players. Several League of Legends youtubers made parody videos of them or their promotion video, and they were even featured in some of the Pro players' vlogs.

On the June 19th, 2013, Team Siren officially disbanded, after dealing with bullying within the team.^[3]
