Assistant Coach(s): Jackson ‘Shake’ Kaplan and Rollon ‘Mini’ Hamelin
Owners: Robert Kraft (Kraft Group)
Owned by the company that has made a living out of winning titles through the New England Patriots, Boston Uprising houses a number of players from various Overwatch teams and international locations. Given the ownership’s lack of esports experience, it’ll be interesting to see whether they can make an impact in their first season together.
Player to Watch: When you’re the lone Tank on the team, that can put a lot of pressure on you to perform, but Gamsu has shown some early skill so far in his Overwatch career. His plays could make or break any defensive strategies, along with his support crew.
Division: Atlantic
Roster:
- Kevyn ‘TviQ’ Lindström, Sweden
- Andreas ‘Logix’ Berghmans, Belgium
- Tim ‘Manneten’ Bylund, Sweden
- Johan ‘CWoosH’ Klingestedt, Sweden
- Sebastian ‘Zebbosai’ Olsson, Sweden
- Aleksi ‘Zuppeh’ Kuntsi, Finland
Coach: Vytis ‘Mineral’ Lasaitis
Owners: Ben Spoont (Misfits)
The UK-based Misfits have their hand in a number of esports leagues, including CS:GO and League of Legends, and the entirety of the Florida Mayhem roster comes from their existing Overwatch team, giving them an advantage as the season opens thanks to their previous experiences as a team.
Player to Watch: Given most of the Mistfits squad also played a hand in Sweden’s performance at this year’s Overwatch World Cup (you’ll find that a common reference), any one of them could have a big role to play. Zebbosai, however, has been to the past two world cups and has had past success in Team Fortress in a similar supportive role. That experience will no doubt be a big boost to any teams confidence, though he has also played as Widowmaker from time to time.
