Tollenz Lions is a German gaming organization, formerly sponsored by international computer manufacturers Expert International GmbH and Acer Inc.

As Team Acer[edit]

The team was founded in 2011, and, at the time of disbandment, had teams in StarCraft II, Trackmania and FIFA. Team Acer's content creators also produced the popular video interview series, Grilled.

In April 2013, Team Acer opened a gaming house in Bad Tölz for the team's players and crew to congregate to prepare for any events or projects.[1]

Acer was also involved in the organization of the Acer TeamStory Cup by TaKeTV, an international team league with offline finals at the TaKeTV studios in Krefeld, Germany. Team Acer was an invitee for the first two seasons in 2013, placing second in Season 1 and first in Season 2.

Team Acer's StarCraft II squad was created in July 2011 by Mondragon and Kaoru. In 2013, Axiom and Acer entered a Team Partnership agreement with to compete jointly in the GOMTV Global Starcraft II Team League as Axiom-Acer, with several of Acer's Korea-based players living at the Axiom team house in Seoul, South Korea. Axiom-Acer was successful throughout the two seasons of GSTL in 2013, placing third in Season 1 and first in Season 2. The partnership was dissolved in January 2014 after it was clear that GSTL would not continue, with Axiom-Acer being the reigning champions.

General Manager Uwe Semtner announced that Team Acer disbanded on March 1st 2016.[2]

As Team expert[edit]

On the 11th of August, the team announced the Bly would be returning for the new team.[3] On the 17th of August, the team officially announced their return as Team expert, and that Scarlett would be rejoining the team. [4]
