A longtime veteran of the entertainment world, Marty “@Lazerchicken” Strenczewilk worked in theater, film and television for over 10 years, primarily in New York city. Esports started as a passion when he began writing blogs and managing class guides for World of Warcraft. He landed his first esports gig at a startup, where he led production on one of the most successful first-time broadcasts of a World of Warcraft tournament. He then went on to found Splyce in the winter of 2014 with his wife Meghan Strenczewilk (Business Director) and his longtime friend Vincent Garguilo (Creative Director). Software developer Jeff Appis was the 1st Splyce employee and is still there today.

Since founding Splyce Marty and his team of players, managers, coaches and staff have gone on to become a world class and top organization globally, competing in 8 titles currently I believe. They have won Blizzcon in WoW pvp, they have multiple top five finishes and a win already this year in Call of Duty at CWL Columbus Stage 1, a win at Dreamhack Atlanta just at the end of July in Halo and many other top finishes across their other titles.

In 2015 ViiTaL officially pursued the eSports scene and began the legacy of ViiTaL eSports.
