HistorySince March of 2009, GameClucks has been involved in the FGC with events ranging from weeklies to monthlies to our region's yearly event, Northwest Majors. Most of the region's top players have come to GameClucks events to compete or hang out including former EVO champions such as

CCG|Air (4th NCRX/3rd NWM4),
Duncan (9th NCRX/1st NWM4), and
