Twisted Minds

Twisted Minds was a Saudi Arabian esports organisation whose League of Legends division competed in the Arabian League, the EMEA-affiliated competition serving the Middle East and North Africa. Based in Saudi Arabia, a country that has invested heavily in the growth of competitive gaming, Twisted Minds fielded a roster during its run before the League of Legends squad was ultimately disbanded. The brand became a recognisable name across several titles in the region’s flourishing esports landscape.

Roster and Personnel

During its active period the team assembled a lineup that featured Wufo, Selfmade, M G, OniiKhan, Mimic1 and Sloth. The presence of Selfmade, a name associated with European competition, points to the club’s willingness to blend experienced imports with regional players in pursuit of an edge. Combining seasoned veterans with local talent was a strategy several MENA organisations adopted to raise the ceiling of their rosters.

The MENA Stage

The Arabian League gave Saudi and neighbouring teams a dedicated arena in which to compete at a professional standard, supported by the region’s rapidly expanding appetite for esports. As one of the more prominent Saudi brands, Twisted Minds operated within an environment of significant momentum, where investment and audience interest were both climbing. That backdrop made the league an attractive destination for players and organisations alike.

Despite these favourable conditions, the League of Legends project was eventually wound down, a reminder that even well-resourced organisations must weigh the demands and returns of each title they enter. The disbandment placed the team’s competitive tenure firmly in the past, though the wider Twisted Minds brand remains part of the conversation around Saudi esports.

Looking back, Twisted Minds represents an example of the ambition that has characterised Saudi Arabia’s entry into League of Legends. Its former roster and participation in the Arabian League form part of the historical fabric of a region still defining its competitive identity, and the lessons of such ventures continue to inform the projects that follow.
