SUNSfan leaves Digital Chaos

Shannon "SUNSfan" Scotten, co-owner and founder of Digital Chaos has parted ways with organization.

SUNSfan made the announcement via facebook, claiming he was not able to discuss the matter in more depth. Speculation has been rife that the his separation is connected to organizational problems that were recently brought to light in an interview with Rasmus "MiSeRy" Filipsen when the captain and support player stated that he didn’t receive payment for his role at the Boston Major and wasn’t even sure who in the organization to request help from to resolve the matter.

At the time Digital Chaos was created, SUNSfan's aim was to create a brand with transparency and full support of his players.

As you might have guessed from my name, I have had the unfortunate fate of being a die-hard Phoenix Suns fan for most of my life. My love of basketball and competitive sports has always been a huge passion in my life, and running a professional eSports team has been a dream of mine ever since I started playing competitive games over a decade ago. With the creation of this organization, I plan to create a brand that is respected by players and fans alike, and provide an environment where we will immediately have the opportunity to compete at the highest levels.”

There is no further word from the organization. It is not yet known how, if at all, this will impact the current roster or business moving forward.

Digital Chaos

The North American team has not made any changes in their roster since the last season.

Last year following TI6, the team flew relatively below the radar. They took 5-6th place at The Summit 6 and 4th in the offbeat favorite- Elimination Mode 2.0. It wasn't until December that the team stirred - making some noise at the Boston Major where they took an impressive 3-4th place finish.

This new year seems to be a mixed bag of results for the team. Earlier this season they participated in China Top 2016 coming in 3-4th place for the four team exclusive event. The team then took their first major championship title at ESL One Genting 2017 in January but then saw disappointing results following - taking 7-8th in both Dota Pit Season 5 and StarLadder i-League StarSeries Season 3.

The team is currently gearing up for the Kiev Major that begins at the end of this month - with the main event starting April 27.

Digital Chaos roster:

Aliwi ‘w33’ Omar
Roman ’Resolut1on’ Fominok
David ‘Moon’ Tan
Martin ‘Saksa’ Sazdov
Rasmus ‘MiSeRy’ Filipsen
