## Career

#### Season 1

*In Season 1, Spence joined the league under the alias SpenceTV after being referred to the league by his brother who found it in a Reddit post. He was drafted in the 6th round with pick number 32 to the  Gorillas. However, he was cut by the team during the preseason. He would be signed during the preseason by the  Dragonfish, where he made the final roster. After Match Day 1, the roster consisted of SpenceTV, FromBehind, Stiimpy, MasterRoshi1, and Destro28. The team went on to finish the regular season with a 4-6 record, which placed them 4th in the division. During the playoffs, the  Dragonfish beat the  Andromeda 2-0 in the playoffs before losing 0-2 against the eventual champions: the  King.*

*In the offseason of Season 1, Spence became the General Manager of the  Order of the Samurai.*

#### Season 2

*Spence's franchise received the 2nd overall pick in the Season 2 Minor draft. He also went through the draft as a player, but he cut himself from the roster to make room for reanos. His Minor team, the  Samurai, finished last in the division with a 3-7 record, and was eliminated by the  Spartans 0-2 in the playoffs.*

*Following this season, Spence would not return as a player, and would become a non-playing GM heading into Season 3.*

#### Season 3

*Spence's franchise received the number 1 overall pick in the Season 3 Minor draft. His Minor team, the  Samurai, finished 2nd in the division with a 7-2 record. They would receive a 1st round bye in the playoffs, but fell to the  Valhalla in the semi-finals, 1-2. This marked the first of many seasons where Spence's franchise teams choked in the playoffs.*

#### Season 4

*Coming into Season 4, Spence's franchise received the number 6 overall pick in the Season 4 Minor draft. The  Samurai didn't miss a beat from last season, and came on as one of the strongest teams in Minor that season. The team finished 2nd place by tiebreaker in the regular season, with a record of 8-2. After another 1st round bye and a convincing 2-1 win against the Deckhands, the  Samurai made it to the finals, where they played against the  Valhalla. However, the  Samurai would lose 0-2 in the final.*

*In the offseason of Season 4, many of the members of the  Samurai left to join  Imperium of Man. In response, Spence signed 3 free agents and became a player again to round out his roster going into Season 5.*

#### Season 5

*This season was the first one where Spence's franchise received a Major team: the  Shoguns. Spence's Minor team received the number 6 overall pick in the Season 5 Minor draft, and his Major team received the number 2 overall pick. The  Samurai would go on to finish 4th in their division with a 4-7 record, missing the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. In contrast, the  Shoguns would finish 1st in their division with a 10-1 record, setting a CSC record for the most wins in a season. However, in typical fashion, the team would lose 0-2 against the eventual champions:  Legion of Boom in the semi-finals.*

#### Season 6

*In Season 6, the  Order of the Samurai received a team in the Elite tier. The franchise received the 3rd, 4th, and 1st overall picks in the Elite, Major, and Minor tier respectively. His Major team,  Daimyo, would finish 6-10 and 4th in their division, removing them from playoff contention. His Elite team, the  Shoguns, would finish 3rd in their division with a 6-7 record, but be eliminated by the  Lions 1-2 in the quarterfinals.*

*Coming out of the preseason, the Season 6  Samurai was the best projected team in the tier. However, there were concerns that, in typical Spence fashion, the franchise would choke in the finals. Spence's Minor team would finish the regular season 12-1, only dropping a game where the team had 3 substitute players. The team continued this dominance in the playoffs, winning against  The HEs with a 2-0 series win. In the finals against the  Typhoon, the  Samurai won on two maps to bring the series 2-0, and bring Spence his first ever trophy. This win broke the curse of Spence's teams choking in the playoffs.*

*In the offseason of Season 6, Spence ran for admin of CSC. He ran on the platform of adding transparency to different staff and rules decisions and more relaxed enforcement of rules. He placed 1st in the admin race, receiving 382 votes, and was promoted to admin on 11/22/2021.*
