Rejoining Smite and Controversy
The team of Orbit eSports, then known Bipolar Method, were in an interesting predicament. They just left their original org of Paradigm after a controversy that seemed grossly unfavorable to the players, and were looking for an organization to join them as they entered the Fall Season LAN. Xealia, the team's solo laner at the time, mentioned in their rosters's statement involving the Paradigm incident that they were in talks Orbit eSports as a potential Org. Most of the community at the time took this in disgust, as Orbit was in a controversy the prior year within the XBOX scene, where they were accused of taking advantage of their players and not paying accordingly. Big names such as DMBrandon were very cynical about this rumor. Despite this, the roster was announced to be fully under the Orbit banner on October 12, 2016.

LAN Stages
Orbit played in Group A of the Fall Season. The team was expected to win the group single handily, and for the most part, that was the case. Orbit dominated the lan, only losing 2 games to Dignitas and Elevate. They took 2nd overall in the standings, only 2 points behind NRG eSports, the team's unsung rivals. They are expected to win their spot in the Regional Championships and possibly beat NRG to take 1st in the series.
