Mickie was recruited by INTERNETHULK, the namesake of the Dennis Hawelka Award, to join Team EnVyUs during APEX Season 1 following the departure of Talespin from the team. With the help of Mickie, the team went on to win APEX, becoming the only western team in Overwatch's history to win a major tournament in Korea.
When Team Envy joined the Overwatch League and became the Dallas Fuel, Mickie remained with the team, continuing to play off-tank. He is known for his positive attitude, even when his team is down.
The always positive @MickiePP was awarded the Inaugural Dennis Hawelka Award today.

The creation of the Dennis Hawelka Award was announced prior to the beginning of the season shortly following the death of Dennis "INTERNETHULK" Hawelka. A short video to honor the memory of Hawelka was shown before the award winner was announced.
