Team Official Invitation

Team Official Invitation is a team in The King of Fighters series.

Description
As the name implies, this team is formed by invited fighters by Antonov, The King of Fighters XIV's host and sub-boss of the tournament and self-proclaimed "first champion". The team is composed of Sylvie Paula Paula and Mian, two underground fighters (the first girl was a discarded NESTS' experiment and the second is a Sichuan opera dancer), along with Kukri, a mysterious member of a secret society, and acts as the temporary Team Rivals only in KOF XIV, due to Kukri's mysterious and unknown rivalry with Shun'ei, the protagonist of the game and in the saga in which both are in.

After the events of the game (with Antonov creating a new team after losing the KOF tournament rights), Sylvie and Mian being paid for his participation and Kukri leaving the team (after helping find Ash Crimson at Elisabeth Blanctorche's request), the team was automatically disbanded.

Trivia

 * This team and Team Another World are the only teams which all its members appears in SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy, a spin-off tag-battle game.
 * The XV formation of Team Women Fighters also have their members in it.


 * Kukri acts a temporary rival for Shun'ei only in The King of Fighters XIV. Both debuted in this game (the first of the story which both are inserted). This happens prior to Isla's debut in The King of Fighters XV and fills the role.
 * Kukri also appears as a boss for SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy, like Iori Yagami, a former Rivals Team leader.


 * Fans have speculated that each member of this team represented a previous main saga of the series, which turned out to be confirmed for Sylvie (NESTS Chronicles) and Kukri (Tales of Ash). It's not clear what Mian's relationship with Orochi Saga is, and nothing about it was enlightened in KOF XIV's st ory.
