Who are they? Great question, reader. Read on for the who’s who of our League of Legends (LoL) and Overwatch (OW) varsity and junior varsity (JV) teams! (Quick congratulations to Overwatch for BEST ONGOING GAME OF 2018 — The Game Awards.)
Maybe you have heard some of these distinctive gamer handles before or seen them dominating The Rift in LoL. But if you haven’t, we are here to introduce them, starting with our varsity LoL team:
Evan “Captain Nuke” Phu is our resilient Top Laner;
Avi “Im Avi” Behar roams the Jungle;
Jeffrey “Descraton” Du is our quick-witted Mid Lane;
Youngbin “Youngbin” Chung and Lyubomir “BloodWater” Spasov make up-our powerful Bot Lane duo of AD Carry and Support (respectively).
But wait, there’s more! Substitutes are just as important, as you never know what might happen in the future and prevent someone from being able to play at a given time. Parsa “Frostalicious” Baghai fills in this vital role.
In addition to introducing the varsity team, the League of Legends JV player tryouts and interviews just concluded and we are excited to break the news of our recently completed rosters! Without further ado, please give a big round of internet applause for our new players destined for greatness on the rift.
Andy “Pandy Vo” Vo is our persevering Top Lane;
Jimmy “MultiTasker” Bi stalks the Jungle;
Sean “Zud” Uehara is our quick-thinking Mid Lane;
Rich “Ryuuji” Mo and Ethan “Kim Down” Song combine to form our synergetic Bot Lane of AD Carry and Support (respectively);
James “McLi” Li is our vital sub whom we rely on in times of need.
