The team recently finished in third place in the Rivalcade Overwatch Rumble, where they lost to Bermuda Academy in the lower bracket finals.
Bernadette joined Phase 2 as an analyst last May, and SaltShaker and Nishik were added shortly afterwards. During their time with the team, they placed in the top six in Trials: North America Season 2 to qualify for Contenders, and subsequently finished in the top four that season, losing to ATL Academy in the semifinals.
