Splyce is a multigaming organization that fields rosters in leagues across North America, Europe and Latin America. Splyce has teams in various eSports titles listing League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch, Call of Duty, HearthStone, World of Warcraft, Gears of War and Super Smash Bros Melee.
History
On October 29th, 2015, Team Dignitas had to sell one of their teams due to Rule 3.1.1 of "Sales of Sponsorships and Related Issues".[1] They ultimately chose to sell Team Dignitas EU to Follow eSports.[2] Follow eSports is the "TV Guide" of eSports. Their goal is to show you everything that is happening in eSports in both NA and EU no matter what game it is. They currently have teams in CS:GO, Super Smash Brothers Melee, World of Warcraft, and HearthStone.
On December 2nd, Follow eSports rebrands to Splyce.
2016
The team ended Spring Split at 8th place (5-13) dropping to the Promotion/Relegation tournament. However, they were able to reclaim their LCS spot after beating GIANTS! Gaming (3-2).
During Summer Split, after a reasonable start in the league, Splyce began to gain strength in their performance, fighting their way up the standings and ultimately finishing the Split in second place. With a 9-6-3 (W-T-L) record team earned a bye to the semifinals in Summer Playoffs where they have won series against H2k-Gaming (3-2) and continued to the finals. Jakob YamatoCannon Mebdi was awarded Best Coach for 2016 EU LCS Summer Split.
Since Splyce didn't get any Circuit Points for their performance in the Spring Split dropping in the finals of Summer Playoffs to G2 Esports (1-3) meant the team had to play in the Regional Qualifier Gauntlet to have a chance to go to Worlds. The best of five battle for the last European slot at Worlds went to all 5 games and Splyce came out victorious over Unicorns of Love (3-2) scoring them a Pool 3 seed at the World Championship of 2016. At Worlds, the team failed to make it out of the group stage as their standing was at 1W-5L, only winning a game against LPL team Royal Never Give Up.
In the off season, Wunder, Sencux and Mikyx announced their free agency. On November 22nd, the team announced that Trashy renewed his contract and this was followed by Mikyx, Kobbe, Sencux and Wunder, meaning Splyce will be fielding the same roster in the 2017 Spring Split.2017
Splyce had a slow start at the beginning of the Spring Split and barely made it out of the Group Stage. They ended the regular split at 3rd place in their group with 7 wins and 6 loses. Although they made it to the Playoffs, their run ended in the Quarterfinals, losing to Misfits after winning the first 2 games in the series.
On April 17th, Splyce's CEO Marty Strenczewilk made an announcement that the organization have decided to make some changes in their Coaching Staff and so they have parted ways with YamatoCannon, who has been the team's Head Coach from Spring of 2016.
