Digital Chaos’ initial roster consisted of TC, YawaR, BuLba, Aui_2000, and Biryu, and was formed shortly after The International 2015.[1] After the team failed to qualify for The Frankfurt Major, the team’s captain, Biryu was replaced by 1437.[2] The team continued to struggle, and after the departure of TC, was unable to hold down a stable roster and disbanded less than two months later.[3]
Shortly after the dissolution of Digital Chaos, w33, who had recently been kicked from Team Secret, announced a new team called “Avengers” via twitter.[4] The team’s roster consisted of two players who had just been kicked from Team Secret, w33 and MiSeRy, two players who had been playing for Digital Chaos shortly before it disbanded, Resolut1on and Saksa, and Moo, whose newly formed Team Archon collapsed after ztok was banned from all Valve events. Two days later, the team was confirmed to be the new Digital Chaos squad, and would play from the United States.[5]
The newly formed Digital Chaos did well in American qualifiers, but struggled at international events, finishing second-to-last in every premier event they attended. At The International 2016, however, the team surged, placing second in their group and making into the grand finals through the lower bracket to take a surprising second place.[6] Following the event, Digital Chaos continued with their roster and reached the semi finals at the Boston Major and won their first tournament in 2017 at ESL One Genting 2017.

After ESL One Genting, the team hit a slump, failing to qualify for DAC, and finishing in last place at SL i-League S3. The team proceeded to lay low in the leadup to the Kiev Major, until Sunsfan abruptly announced his departure from the organization. Shortly after Sunsfan’s departure, it was announced that the entire squad, including coach Blitz, and manager Slotherina, would depart from the organization as well. With the loss of its squad, co-owner Thomas Hancock, announced the arrival of the former players of Team Onyx, the winner of the Kiev Major’s North American Qualifier. At the Kiev Major, the new team showed promise in the group stage but were eliminated early in the playoffs at the hands of VGJ.
