Rocket League

on August 25, 2015, Flipsid3 acquired the Teamy Weamy roster consisting of Markydooda, kuxir97, and M1k3Rules. On August 7, 2016, Flipside lost to iBUYPOWER Cosmic in the very first Rocket League Championship Series finals, placing second. Shortly after, M1k3 left the team and was subsequently replaced by Marius "gReazymeister" Ranheim from Northern Gaming (formerly We Dem Girlz). On December 4, 2016, Flipsid3 defeated Mockit Aces to win the Rocket League Championship Series for Season 2.

On February 28, 2019, it was announced that the roster that had won WSOE 4 a month prior had chosen to not re-sign with Flipsid3. With the departure of the roster, it was also announced that Flipsid3 would not be participating in RLCS Season 7, ending the reign of the longest standing organization within Rocket League.[10]
