South Korea Has Swapped Out Some Overwatch World Cup Players
By Zac Cameron ·
Three players have been swapped out, and three new names have taken their place as the team looks for another dominant performance.
South Korea has made several adjustments to their roster ahead of the Overwatch World Cup main event. While the larger roster still remains the same twelve players initially selected, only seven will be able to attend the main event, necessitating some shuffling of the team.
New York Excelsior players Park “Saebyeolbe” Jong-ryeol, Kim “MekO” Tae-hong, and Hong “ArK” Yeon-jun have been removed from the line-up and replaced with Seoul Dynasty DPS Kim “Fleta” Byung-sun, London Spitfire flex tank Kim “Fury” Jun-ho, and NYXL support Jeong “Anamo” Tae-seong.
These players will be joining Pan-Seung “Fate” Koo of the Los Angeles Valiant, Hae-Seong “Libero” Kim and Seong-Hyun “Jjonak” Bang of the New York Excelsior, and Jae-Hyeok “Carpe” Lee of the Philadelphia Fusion, making this roster a well and truly stacked team.
The tournament itself kicks off on November 2nd, with South Korea once again aiming to take the top spot. However, this year they might face some tough competition, with the overall skill level of the pros increasing and more competition being created with the introduction of the Overwatch League.
