The team registered for the Major, but has had several roster changes since then. The most recent roster change occurred right before the OpenQualifiers, when ex-Arcade.PowerRangers Dmitriy “Ditya Ra” Minenkov and Steve “Excalibur” Ye were added to the lineup.

Spac_Creators is an Australian team which features Darcy “Godot” Jose, Justin “xMusiCa” Yuen and Yao “Tudi” Wen Teo, formerly of Can’t Say Wips. The team was founded during the post-TI5 reshuffle in August and immediately grabbed first place in the Corsair Gaming Arena #6.
CSW placed third in their group phase for the TI5 SEA qualifiers. One day later, on May 30, Godot announced via his Facebook page that he was parting ways with the team. They were then reformed mid June with a new roster, but again disbanded not long after.
