Multi game esport organisation Simplicity have signed the coaching staff and playing roster from North American Contenders organisation Wave Check, sources close to the deal have confirmed.
Sources have advised that the deal will see Wave Check play under the Simplicity banner and has been a work in progress over the last few months. It means that the former Wave Check organisation will be one of the few non academy teams that will receive a salary.
Wave Check qualified for North American Contenders for the first time this season and although they finished in the relegation places in North America West, they are highly expect to return to Contenders next season.
For Simplicity, it will see them return to Contenders and Overwatch after they finished 5th in Group B of 2018's North American Contenders season 1. The announcement of Simplicity's return is expected once they have completed their roster for next season sources have confirmed.
