History[]

2016 Season[]

Top Dog Gaming took over Winterfox's seed in the NACS Open Qualifier but lost to Astral Authority 3-2 in their series. They disbanded after the tournament. In May 2016, former Top Dog Gaming support player Ken published a statement detailing his difficulties securing payment for himself and his teammates but stated that the matter had been settled after being brought to small claims court.^[1] His post followed up on an earlier reddit thread discussing ShorterACE's difficulties in securing payment.^[2]
