Los Angeles Valiant Announce Addition of Bunny to Roster

Today, the Los Angeles Valiant announced the addition of Jun-hyeok "Bunny" Chae to their roster. The team purchased the contract of Bunny from the Seoul Dynasty, who Bunny had been a member of for the first two stages of the Overwatch League's inaugural season.  

The 19 year old South Korean player has played for the likes of BK Stars and Lunatic Hai in Overwatch Apex before joining the Seoul Dynasty, where he was one of the main damage per second (DPS) players for the star studded team. The Los Angeles Valiant will be looking for Bunny to help the team improve on what was a lackluster Stage 2, as the Valiant finished with a 4-6 record and are currently in 8th place in the Overwatch League.  

This was not the only roster news to come out of the Los Angeles Valiant's camp today, as it was reported that they team was looking to send Kang-Jae "Envy" Lee to the Dallas Fuel in exchange for Brandon "Seagull" Larned. With a major drop in performance from their successful Stage 1 that included a 4th place finish with a 7-3 record, the team is looking to improve upon their roster heading into Stage 3, and the addition of a talented player like Bunny will help in the Valiant accomplishing this goal. However, with the addition of the former Seoul Dynasty Tracer player, it looks as though Terence "Soon" Tarlier leaving the team is now much closer to happening, as the star Tracer player has also been the subject of trade rumors.  

With the confirmation of more roster changes coming from CEO of the Los Angeles Valiant, Noah Whinston, it seems that fans will be seeing a much different Los Angeles Valiant team for Stage 3 than they saw in Stage 1 and 2. With the inaugural season of the Overwatch League halfway over, teams are doing whatever they believe is needed in order to be at the top of the league at the end.
