Team Coast, formerly known as Good Game University, is a North American eSports organization and League of Legends website. The squad was formed on January 4, 2013 by the former roster of Team Dynamic following their departure from the parent organization. They named themselves Good Game University before changing their name to Team Coast on June 1, 2013. Their first offline tournament was the League of Legends Season 3 North American qualifiers where they successfully qualified for a spot in the Season 3 League Championship Series (LCS).
On January 4, 2013, Good Game University was founded by the former roster of Team Dynamic following their departure from the parent multi-gaming organization. ZionSpartan, NintendudeX, DontMashMe, Shiphtur, I am Anjo, and Pixel joined the team.
Team Dynamic, composed of ZionSpartan, NintendudeX, DontMashMe, Shiphtur, I am Anjo, and Pixel, form Good Game University after leaving their parent organization. In January 2013, Good Game University competed in the North American LCS Qualifier. In the group stage, Good Game University beat Epik Gamer and Team TowerDiveTV, while dropping one game to Team FeaR. By winning those two games, GGU advanced to day two of the event where they would defeat Dirtnap Gaming and secure their spot in the Spring Split of the NA LCS. On January 24, Diamond joined. February 4, Fat joined. February 13, BloodWater joined. I am Anjo become a sub. February 27, Jintae joins.
Shiphtur, GGU's mid lane player, was unable to play in the Spring LCS due to Visa issues. With substitute player Jintae, GGU opened the season poorly, going 2-12 with a seven-game losing streak. However, with the acquisition of Daydreamin, GGU turned their season around and finished sixth at 11-17 in the Spring Split, securing their spot in the NA LCS Spring Playoffs. In the quarterfinals of the playoffs, GGU defeated Dignitas 2-1, advancing them to the semifinals, where they beat Team Curse 2-1. With those two victories under their belt, GGU advanced to the finals, where they faced off against Team SoloMid (TSM). Although TSM won 3-2, Good Game University secured their spot in the NA LCS Summer Season.
On April 3, BloodWater leaves. After finishing the spring split at second place in the playoffs, the team renamed to Team Coast, their new sponsor. Additionally, ex-Curse Gaming support player Elementz became their coach. In early August Shiphtur's visa issues were resolved when he was granted a P visa, and he was able to play mid for Team Coast in the summer LCS season, replacing Jintae.
Team Coast began the season tied for second during Week One, but thanks to a seven-game losing streak at the end of the split, Coast had to settle for seventh with a record of 9-19. This meant they would be sent to relegation matches in December to win back their spot into the league for the Season 4 Spring Promotion. On June 1, Good Game University became Team Coast. Elementz joined as a coach. On June 18, Raìna joins. On June 25, CyberPowerPC became a sponsor of the team. July 2, Corsair sponsors Team Coast. August 19, LoL-Class sponsors Team Coast. October 28, DontMashMe leaves. November 26, WizFujiiN joins. December 12, coach Elementz leaves.
