Team Official Invitation

Team Official Invitation is a Special 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 by Sylvie Paula Paula and Mian, two underground fighters (the first girl was a discarded NESTS' experiment and the second is a Sichuan opera dancer), beside 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 inserted.

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 finding Ash Crimson at Elisabeth Blanctorche's request and reforming the French boy's team), the team was automatically disbanded.
