Adam ‘Adam’ Eckel

Adam ‘Adam’ Eckel is an American pro player, taking the supportive role for the squad. He provides consistent and high level support for his unit through his signature champions Mercy, Lucio, Zenyatta and Symmetra to help win matches.

Where it all began:

Before taking on OW, Adam had a strong gaming background in World of Warcraft as a Guild leader and also played Counter-Strike 1.6 casually with friends.

WOW game

Adam started competing Overwatch in October 2015 with his former team ‘google me’ where he was invited to an OW match. From then on he liked the game sense and team work aspect, playing with his friends to win the tournament as well as watching replays to improve on his mistakes.

The Team:

The North American C9 unit supports teams playing different games like Dota 2, LOL, CS:GO, Heroes of the Storm, OW, Vain Glory and Super Smash.  Cloud 9 Overwatch was founded in March 2016 by Jack Etienne who wanted to expand the company, signing up the former google me players.
