It was originally formed under the name Good Game University on January 4, 2013, by the former roster of Team Dynamic following their departure from the parent organization.
On January 4, Good Game University was founded by the former roster of Team Dynamic following their departure from the parent multi-gaming organization.
Team Dynamic, composed of ZionSpartan, NintendudeX, DontMashMe, Shiphtur, I am Anjo, and Pixel, form Good Game University after leaving their parent organization.
[citation needed] 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.
In the quarterfinals of the playoffs, GGU defeated Dignitas 2–1, advancing them to the semifinals, where they beat Team Curse 2–1.
Although TSM won 3–2, Good Game University secured their spot in the NA LCS Summer Season.
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.
The team was then relegated to the Riot League Championship Series/North America/2014 Season/Summer Promotion|2014 Summer Promotion Tournament, along with XDG Gaming and Evil Geniuses.
AD carry Dontmashme rejoined the team with renewed LCS aspirations, replacing WizFujiiN.
The only player without LCS experience, jungler Santorin, had been a substitute for top-ranked challenger team Cloud9 Eclipse in Europe.
Lastly, Coast hired on Chaox, Season 2 star of Team SoloMid, as a coach.
As a recently relegated team, Coast was entered to compete in the 2014 NA Challenger Series (NACS).
In July, in the 2014 Summer NACS, Coast again took first with series wins against Denial eSports, Team 8, and Curse Academy, with an undefeated 6–0 sweep.
With two NACS titles at their back, Coast entered the August playoffs with high hopes and a first round bye, only to be swept in the semifinals by Team 8.
Without letting their negative momentum continue, Coast defeated Team LoLPro in the third place match and took home US$8,000.
