Rascal joined the inaugural Overwatch League season when he and his Kongdoo Panthera teammates were picked up by the London Spitfire in the preseason. He saw limited playing time with the team and was traded to the Dallas Fuel between Stages 1 and 2.
He would not finish the season with the Fuel, however. He would instead be released by the team in Stage 3, after the mid-season signing window for franchises had closed, leaving Rascal unable to join a new Overwatch League team following his release.
As a result, he was picked up by NRG, the academy team of the San Francisco Shock. He played for the team in Contenders Season 2, helping them secure a top four finish.
Rascal joins three other DPS players on the Shock roster: sinatraa, Architect and BABYBAY. This will be the first team Rascal has shared with any of the squad's players.
He is not the first new face to join the Shock this month. The team traded DPS Danteh to the Houston Outlaws for main tank smurf a week ago.
Shock fans may not have to wait until the next season of the Overwatch League to see Rascal don orange on-stage. The Shock are scheduled to play October 20 and November 10 against the Los Angeles Valiant in an event called the California Cup. The November 10 match will be played in Oakland, California, a city within the Shock's home market.
