Career highlights and awards

Baek Chan-hyung (Korean백찬형), better known by Fissure, is a South Korean former professional Overwatch player. During his career, he played in the Overwatch League (OWL) for the London Spitfire, Los Angeles Gladiators, Seoul Dynasty, and Vancouver Titans and in Overwatch Apex for KongDoo Panthera and Cloud9 KongDoo.

A native of South Korea, he began his Overwatch career playing in Overwatch Apex for South Korean team KongDoo Panthera, and shortly after, Cloud9 KongDoo. In 2017, Baek signed with the London Spitfire for the league's inaugural season. After playing for a quarter of the 2018 regular season, he was transferred to the Los Angeles Gladiators; at the end of the season, he was the runner up for the most valuable player award and was named an OWL All-Star. He was transferred to the Seoul Dynasty prior to the start of the 2019 season, and in the middle of the season, he announced his retirement from professional Overwatch. However, he signed with the Vancouver Titans in the offseason preceding the 2020 season. Four games into the season, he was released, along with the entire Titans roster.

Baek played as tank characters in Overwatch, and during his OWL career, he was known as one of the best tank players in the league. However, he continually had internal issues with his teams, leading him to frequently swap to different organizations. He never played a full season for a single OWL organization and was the first player in the OWL to play for four different teams.
