Support Infoneral joins from Dutch League team Echo Zulu where he helped them to finish third last summer and also in the Country Finals.
As an organization, Sector One are one of the older names in the Benelux scene. Founded in 2014, Sector One has competed in many tournaments within the region and “with the help of many volunteers in our community and a management team with bigger strategic goals, Sector One grew to become the most successful esports organization in the Benelux,” as their website states.

They also finished second in 2021 spring and the Country Finals. They were directly invited to participate in the Elite Series as one of the top three teams in the Belgian League.
