Fans of European Call of Duty will be very familiar with MarkyB, as he spent over 8 years as a professional player for 18 different organizations and teams.
He announced his retirement from competing on May 24th, 2018, however emphasized that it was not on a permanent basis, leaving the door open for a potential return in the next CWL season.

Splyce fans will hope that MarkyB’s extensive experience in competitive Call of Duty will re-energize and invigorate the team and help lead them back to success.
After a promising 2nd place finish at CWL Birmingham, Splyce visibly regressed, which ultimately led to a near-deadline roster move that involved bringing in Joshua-Lee ‘Joshh’ Sheppard in place of Thomas ‘Tommey’ Trewren.
Splyce currently sit in 7th place with a 3-4 record in Division A of the CWL Pro League Stage 2, but are only one game out of a Playoff spot with seven matches still to be played.
