Who is rCk?
rCk was a part of Team Gigantti from the start of 2018. Prior to that, he represented ENCE Esports. With Team Gigantti, rCk won both the Assembly Summer as well as Assembly Winter. The player usually plays D’va and is crucial to his team’s performance. His ability to peel for his teammates and providing them with adequate cover is crucial to the team’s overall performance.

rCK has a great attitude and that is crucial for the team chemistry going forward. Being on ENCE and Gigantti, he is one of the more successful Finnish Overwatch Players. He has excellent communication skills and the right attitude to be on a top tier team.
With players like Effect already endorsing rCk, we can expect some good synergy between the frontline and the tank line of Dallas Fuel. For most of Season 1, the Dallas Fuel has suffered from one controversy or another. They were unable to find the right mix despite having some of the most talented players in the scene.
