The New York Excelsior have found themselves in some hot water this offseason as the Overwatch League team has prioritized creating a mixed gender roster with players taken from open tryouts. Many have expressed concern about this as it will likely see the team in a tough spot compared to the most seasoned and stacked rosters around the league, but regardless, the NYXL has committed to this process nonetheless.
And we can see this now that the team has announced its roster, and as for who we will see representing the New York team next week at the debut of the Pro-Am tournament, the team is as follows:
- Kim “FITS” Dong-eun
- Niclas “sHockWave” Jensen
- Maximilian “Seicoe” Oter
- Kim “Kellan” Min-jae
- Haley “Haley” Hamand
- Joseph “Lep” Cambriani
- Yunhee “Aniyun” Chi
- Kim “Kreativ” Young-wan
While this roster has some veteran names, there are plenty of rookie players here, so we’ll just have to see how the NYXL stacks up against the likes of the San Francisco Shock, Houston Outlaws, Atlanta Reign, Florida Mayhem, and the other stacked rosters in the West division .
