It was founded 14 October 2016, when the 1907 Fenerbahçe Association, chaired by Ali Koç, took over all the rights of the SuperMassive TNG team in the Champions League.[2]
After sweeping SuperMassive 3–0 in the 2019 TCL Winter finals, Fenerbahçe qualified for the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational as Turkey's representative in the play-in stage.[3] The team was placed in Group A of the first round of the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational play-in stage, along with Vietnamese team Phong Vũ Buffalo, Australian team Bombers, and Argentine team Isurus Gaming.[4][5] Fenerbahçe ended the group round robin with a 4–2 record, tying Phong Vũ Buffalo for 1st and forcing a tiebreaker match, which Fenerbahçe lost.[6]
