Seoul Dynasty has opened up three slots on its Overwatch League team after releasing tank player Gong “Miro” Jin-hyuk, flex player Moon “Gido” Gi-do, and DPS player Choi “Wekeed” Seok-woo.
The Gen. G-owned organization can now add four new players to its roster—a fourth player, Heo “Gambler” Jin-woo, was moved off the active roster but will remain with Seoul Dynasty as a streamer. “We wish them the best in their futures,” Gen.G wrote on the Seoul Dynasty Twitter. “Once a tiger, always a tiger. Thank you to our fans for your continued support.”
An underwhelming first season in the Overwatch League left Gen. G with some big decisions to make. Seoul Dynasty finished the regular season in eighth place, a long shot from the OGN Overwatch Apex champions the roster was once known as. For season two, Gen. G will likely bring in a few more players to fill Seoul Dynasty’s gaps, but the organization has also employed a few new coaches, too.
Former London Spitfire coach Park “Changgoon” Chang-guen has joined Seoul Dynasty as an assistant coach, with former StarCraft pro gamer and Mosaic Esports coach Kim “KDG” Dong Kun as head coach.
