Many members of the community are pointing to the San Francisco Shock as the likely landing spot for Architect, due to a roster leak of high profile Korean players and their Overwatch League destinations. The leak has been correct for two of the mentioned players, as Jang-Hyun “T1zi” Hwang was officially signed to the London Spitfire, and Min-seok "OGE" Son was confirmed as an official addition to the Dallas Fuel roster. The Boston Uprising are another possible landing spot for Architect, as he could be making his way to join his former CONBOX teammate YoungJin "Gamsu" Noh.
Fans will have to wait until tomorrow to see if Architect will be making his way out west to help the San Francisco Shock, heading east to join his former teammate for a CONBOX reunion in Boston or becoming a part of a team that no had on their radar.
