History

In March 2018 Team Flash qualified for the spring season of the EA Champions Cup (EACC) in Bangkok, Thailand, as representatives of Singapore.

''League of Legends''

History

Team Flash first entered the professional ''League of Legends'' scene in November 2011, competing in ESL-sponsored online tournaments in Singapore and the 2011 World Cyber Games. The team's roster was acquired by the Singapore Sentinels in March 2012 and the organization disbanded its ''League of Legends'' division. In January 2017 Team Flash acquired the roster of Vestigial with the intention of having them compete in the 2017 spring season of TCL Singapore. However, they were suddenly replaced with the roster of Team Rigel days before roster finalizations. After qualifying for the 2017 spring season of the Garena Premier League (GPL) through TLC Singapore, the roster left the organization.

In late 2018 Team Flash announced a new Vietnam-based team that would compete in the secondary league of the Vietnam Championship Series (VCS), known as VCS B. After defeating Đạt Gaming 3–1 in the second round of 2019 VCS B Spring, Team Flash's roster and promotion tournament spot were sold to QTV Gaming. Team Flash later reentered the professional scene in Vietnam in June 2019, when it announced that it had acquired the roster of Sky Gaming and would compete in the VCS.

Team Flash finished second in the regular season of VCS 2019 Summer, qualifying for playoffs. In the semifinals they defeated long time favourites Dashing Buffalo 3–1, but lost to GAM Esports 0–3 in the finals. After losing 1–3 to Lowkey Esports in the final series of the losers' bracket, Team Flash was eliminated from Worlds' contention.

During VCS 2020 Spring, Team Flash once again finished second in the regular season. This gave them a bye to the second round, where they defeated EVOS Esports 3–1 to qualify for the grand finals. Despite being heavy favourites to win the split, defending champions GAM Esports were defeated by Team Flash in a close series, earning the team their first VCS title.

Team Flash finished second in the regular season yet again during VCS 2020 Summer, earning them a spot in the winners' bracket of playoffs. The team made it all the way to the finals, where they defeated GAM Esports again to claim their second VCS title after another close series.
