After a small break post ex Oblivion I was ready to reenter the coaching space for NA. I was quickly contacted by a previous casting colleague, ATK Mode’s CEO Bemmie.

Bemmie would ultimately offer a no strings attached opportunity to run ATK Mode’s Overwatch program provided I maintain a positive and forward-thinking team and learning environment. With the agreement made ATK Mode OW was born, with only a little over a week before the next season of open division would begin the race was on to find a roster.

We barely beat the buzzer but we would have our starting six! With some quick learning and great effort ATK roster would just barely fall short of making contenders trials losing out to the all x contenders Malibu remake.

ATK’s dominance in the tier 3 scene would see us win many minor trophies, strong placements in a few events and two more OD runs where we would finish just outside of making contenders trials.

In our final OD run as ATK Mode we would go on a run that would get us the attention of our next venture, eliminating the EX contenders programs Drifters, Hour Zero, Side Hustle and Sigma No Hands.

The opportunity would actually be one of the teams we eliminated, Drifters.

Our first tournament with the org would be played under the name Initial Drift and we would go on to place fourth in the blizzard run flash ops that allowed OverWatch League teams to play as full rosters. We would be the only team not entirely owl to make the top four.This confidence from the tournament and the new brand behind us would see us make a first place run in our next open division and make contenders trials.

Our contenders trials run would come to an end with us being sent back to open division. Even though our run didn’t go the way we hoped we were still happy with our performance keeping every game competitive and taking wins off of two teams that would make it into contenders proper.
