San Francisco Shock Officially Announce Two New Players

The San Francisco Shock officially announced the signing of DPS player Min-Ho "Architect" Park and Grant "moth" Espe to their roster today. It was reported yesterday that Architect had been signed to an Overwatch League team with a report by Rod Breslau pointing to the San Francisco Shock as the likely landing spot for both Architect and moth. Architect's former X6-Gaming teammate Choi "ChoiHyoBin" Hyo-bin was also said to be joining the Shock, but no official announcement from the team about the player has been made as of yet.

Both Architect and moth have seen success in their Overwatch careers. Architect helped X6-Gaming to the 2017 Nexus Cup Championship, while moth had been playing as a support player for the Boston Uprising's academy team Toronto Esports.

These two players will not be the only players joining the active roster for the San Francisco Shock, as the team's highly touted young stars Jay "Sinatraa" Won and Matthew "Super" DeLisi will both become eligible to play in late March. Both players were seventeen years old when the season began, but with sinatraa turning eighteen on March 18th and Super becoming eighteen on March 28th, the Shock will have two of their most talented players available to play alongside their new additions for Stage 3. 

It has not been announced when fans can expect Architect and moth to make their debuts with the team, but the team has confirmed that sinatraa will be making his debut on March 21st against the Florida Mayhem. Looking to get their star DPS player into action as soon as possible, San Francisco will be having sinatraa play in the very first match he is eligible for. With the team currently in 9th place in the Overwatch league with a 5-11 record, the San Francisco Shock will be looking for their newly added and eligible players to help the team improve upon what has been a lackluster season so far.
