History
In August 2014, the roster of Team Immunity left their organisation and formed Exodus Gaming, later rebranded as the Chiefs Esports Club. Their initial roster consisted of top laner Brandon "Swip3rR" Holland, jungler Samuel "Spookz" Broadley, mid laner Simon "Swiffer" Papamarkos, bot laner Derek "Raydere" Trang, and support Andrew "Rosey" Rose, and that five-man lineup became the longest-standing active roster without any substitutions or changes in history, unbroken for 608 days. In May 2015, that streak was broken when Rosey left the team to join Sin Gaming and was replaced by EGym. Despite their roster change, the Chiefs' lineup remained at the top of their region for the duration of the 2015 season, with OPL victories all four periods of the OPL; i.e. Split 1, Split 1 playoffs, Split 2, and Split 2 playoffs. Internationally, they fared less well, placing 5th at the International Wildcard Invitational in April and 2nd at the International Wildcard Qualifier for Worlds 2015. In 2016, the Chiefs placed 2nd for the first time domestically in the first OPL split, but still upset the 1st place Legacy Esports in the playoffs, to return to the IWCI once again. They then qualified for IEM Challenger for IEM Season 11 - Oakland—their first competition against teams from major regions—but lost 0–2 against Longzhu Gaming despite standout performances from Swiffer on Orianna. The Chiefs placed 3rd in the OPL 2017 Split 1 regular season and 4th in playoffs after losing 2–3 to Sin Gaming in the second round. In the OPL 2017 Split 2 regular season, the Chiefs once again placed 3rd in the regular season, but managed to advance all the way to the finals in playoffs, where they lost 1–3 to the Dire Wolves. For all four iterations of the 2018 OPL season, the Chiefs placed 2nd, losing to Dire Wolves in both finals. The Chiefs placed 2nd again in the OPL 2019 Split 1 regular season, but lost to ORDER in the third round of playoffs and failed to make it to the finals.
