According to the public relations department of KSV eSports, Heo "Gambler" Jin-Woo will not be playing in any official Overwatch League matches until Stage 3. Gambler is officially on the team for Stage 2 and will begin training with the rest of the roster. There is currently no confirmed date as to which Gambler will be seeing his first official action in the league. 

In a press release from KSV eSports, the organization announced the newest player that will be joining their Overwatch League team, the Seoul Dynasty. Heo "Gambler" Jin-Woo will be joining the Seoul Dynasty as one of the top Lucio players in the world, in order to help Yang “Tobi” Jin-mo in the current Lucio heavy meta. The announcement confirmed a report by ESPN's Rod Breslau made earlier in February regarding Gambler making his way to the Seoul Dynasty. 

Seoul Dynasty believes that Gambler will be an excellent addition to their roster, as they look to become the top team in Stage 2.

"Gambler is among the top-ranked Lucio players in Korea and is regarded as one of the most competitive Mercy players in the world, who largely contributed to his former team’s victory at IEM Gyeonggi 2016. He completes Dynasty’s full twelve-player roster, adding to an increasingly stacked lineup."

Gambler expressed his excitement of joining Seoul in the press release announcing his spot on the team.

"It’s a great honor to join Seoul Dynasty and represent my home city in the Overwatch League. I will work hard to familiarize myself with the team’s strategies by focusing on team building with my new teammates and coaching staff. My number one goal is to help our team win the League."

"Stage One provided us insight into each team’s strategies and match-up potentials. Now we are working to create new strategies by incorporating and coordinating with Gambler," Said Seoul Dynasty coach Baek Kwang-jin. "You can expect to see us perform with innovative tactics during Stage Two." 

With the addition of the exceptional Lucio player to their roster in the current meta, Seoul will be looking to improve on their current 9-3 record and third place standing in the league. Thier first match with Gambler on the roster will be against the Dallas Fuel on Wednesday, February 28th at 4:00 PM PST.
