## **History**

### **November 2017**

**Sykelone** first started looking for an Overwatch Team in mid October of 2017. He found *Quasar* on the North American Discord Server **Horizon** as a Projectile DPS. On the 14th November 2017, he was moved to a substitute role due to living in Europe and a few days after, he was released from Quasar because of timezone difficulties.

When Moira was announced in November of 2017, **Sykelone** tested her out on the Public Test Region but wasn't too keen. When she was released on the Live Servers, he ended up having such a grasp of the hero that he considered switching role to Support. Soon after playing *Moira* in Competitive, he began playing *Ana* and started working on the Support heroes.

### **December 2017**

On the 6th December 2017, **Sykelone** was accepted into the reserve team of *Nutwatch* in the DPS role, however the team was unorganised and it fell apart soon after.

After a long hiatus of no teams being available/organised, he began to duo queue with **Kharadin** *(another member of Nutwatch)* in Competitive from Season 7.

### **February 2018**

On the 26th February 2018, **Sykelone** had trials for *Oblivion* in the **Aetherial Org** Discord Server and was placed as Captain for the team. Due to many Gold ranked players not taking things seriously and a messy set of free schedules from players, they rarely got to scrim and he realised that he'd be more fitting playing the Main Support role after his success in Competitive.

### **March 2018**

On the 19th March 2018, **Sykelone** & **Kharadin** were duo queuing and were invited to six stack on another teams Discord by **Bazinga**. Due to success as a full 6, a new team was formed from the remainder of *Nutwatch* (**Sykelone**, **Kharadin** & **Bazinga**) & *The Junker Crew* (**Joster**, **MiniNinja** & **VV3IRD**). This team would be known as *ChokeWatch*.

### **April/May 2018**

**Sykelone** posted ads to find a Projectile DPS for *ChokeWatch* and went on to add **xo4**, moving **Bazinga** to a Substitute. They took on Season 2 of the *Overwatch Open Division*, ending 583rd out of 1,142 teams. Just after the start of Open Division, they added **Hoggy** to the Substitute Roster and after the Division, they added **Zhaltia****.**

### **June 2018**

Due to difficulties with roster members and a clash of personalities/play styles, *ChokeWatch* officially disbanded on the 7th June 2018. **Sykelone**, **Kharadin** & **xo4** stayed in touch and restarted the roster as *Vantablack in* early July of 2018.

### **August 2018**

**Sykelone** joins **The 2650 Club** Discord Server and creates Team *N3XUS*, a Gold/Plat Team in order to coach them. The team Roster will be completed some time in September.

### **September 2018**

**Sykelone** makes the official announcement that *Vantablack* is disbanding and releases all players. **Sykelone** & **Kharadin** still keep in touch and a team could once again form in the future.

A few weeks after **Vantablack**'s split, a new team started to form on **The 2650 Club** Discord. This team is now known as **LOOT CR4TE**.

### **March 2019**

On the 12th March, Sykelone left N3XUS & LOOT CR4TE and went to coach Frostbite & play for Vantablack, reforming the team.
