Team LDLC.com is an esports organization headquartered in France with teams competing in FIFA 16, StarCraft II, two teams in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (LDLC Blue and LDLC White), and one male and one female League of Legends team.
Counter-Strike
LDLC placed 5-8th at the CS:GO Major EMS One Katowice 2014.[1] They later won the CS:GO Major DreamHack Winter 2014 in November. Team LDLC's Counter-Strike team won the X Games CS:GO tournament in January 2015.[2] On February 2 LDLC's roster left the team and was acquired by EnVyUs.[3]
On February 27, the team announced that it had signed the former Awsomiac squad whose players were Kevin “madc” Ducourtioux, Charbel “BouLy” Naoum, David “HEdm” Thalien, Guillame “XpG” Veron, and Julien “PetitSkel” Marcantoni.[4]
Valve Anti-Cheat Ban Controversy
Shortly after competing at ESL One Cologne 2014 as a player for Team LDLC, Hovik "KQLY" Tovmassian received a Valve Anti-Cheat ban for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive,[5] permanently restricting his account from playing. The timing of the ban caused speculation among followers of the game's professional play that his performance at the tournament was influenced by cheating software. Tovmassian took an opportunity shortly after the incident to state he had not cheated during any LAN tournaments.[6]
LDLC Blue
In March 2015, LDLC signed the Platinum Esports roster as a second CS:GO team, dubbed LDLC Blue.[7]
