In 2015, Flipside acquired the roster from the team Teamy Weamy. On August 7, 2016, Flipside lost to iBUYPOWER Cosmic in the very first Rocket League Championship Series finals, placing second.

With the departure of the roster, it was also announced that Flipside would not be participating in RLCS Season 7, ending the reign of the longest standing organization within Rocket League.[10]
