By Nicholas Barth ·
The San Francisco Shock have officially announced the latest addition to their Overwatch League roster today.
The San Francisco Shock have announced the addition of Flex Tank player Choi "ChoiHyoBin" Hyo-bin to their roster today. ChoiHyoBin is a former X6 Gaming teammate of San Francisco DPS Player Min-Ho "Architect" Park and was rumored to be joining the Shock with Architect, but was not announced as part of the team when Architect was added to the roster. However, now the duo are back together and Architect is excited to see ChoiHyoBin make his way onto the roster.

"I am really glad that ChioHyoBin will be able to show the league he is the best D.Va in the world," said Architect.
During their time together on X6-Gaming, both players helped the organization have a great deal of success in the South Korean professional Overwatch scene, as they were able to capture the championships in the 2017 Nexus Cup and Overwatch Challengers Season 3. The San Francisco Shock now will be looking for both players to help them achieve a very successful Stage 3 as the team is looking much stronger than it did in the first two Stages of the league, evident by the Shock's impressive 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Gladiators yesterday.
With the additions of ChoiHyoBin, Architect, Grant "moth" Espe, Jay "Sinatraa" Won and Matthew "Super" DeLisi for its Stage 3 roster, the San Francisco Shock look poised to make a strong push for a Stage 3 playoff spot. San Francisco's next match will be against the Seoul Dynasty on Friday, April 6th at 8:00 p.m. PST.
