Splyce is an American eSports organization with a Danish lineup. They were formerly known as Follow eSports.
History
Splyce was initially announced as Follow eSports on October 29, 2015 as the new brand of Team Dignitas EU, with an initial roster of Wunderwear, Sencux, Kobbe, and Nisbeth.[1] The team inherited Dignitas's seed into the 2016 EU LCS Spring Season. Their jungler was announced two weeks later to be Trashy.[2] In December, the team renamed to Splyce, changing their logo as well.[3]
2016 Season
EU LCS Spring Split
Splyce stayed consistently in either seventh place or tied for eighth place in the spring split. Their final record was 5-13, in eighth place ahead of Team ROCCAT and behind Elements. With a favorable promotion tournament seed, Splyce played against Giants Gaming and won 3-2, requalifying for the LCS for the summer split.
EU LCS Summer Split
The introduction of Support player Mikyx prior to the beginning of the summer split seemingly brought new life to the Splyce squad. The team climbed through the rankings of the EU LCS through excellent macro play and the strenghts of their solo lanes and jungler, ending in second place and earning a Semifinals bye for the Summer Playoffs. After a 3-2 victory against H2k Gaming, they faced reigning Spring Split champions G2 Esports in the Finals and lost 1-3, thus having to face Unicorns of Love in the Regionals Gauntlet Finals in order to qualify for the 2016 Season World Championship. The rookie team was triumphant, taking the gauntlet series 3-2.
2016 World Championship
Splyce was drafted into Group D as a third seed team, along with Team SoloMid, Royal Never Give Up, and Samsung Galaxy. They ended in last place with a 1-5 score but still managed to have respectable showings, going head to head with TSM in an extremely close 45 minutes game in Week 1 and taking down RNG in decisive fashion in their Week 2 rematch.
2017 Season
EU LCS Spring Split
As part of Riot's reorganization of the EU LCS spring split, Splyce was drafted into Group B along with H2k Gaming, Unicorns of Love, Origen, and Team Vitality.
