The two tank players were a key part of ATL Academy's success this year as the team finished second in Contenders 2019 Season 1: North America West, fourth in the Atlantic Showdown, first in Contenders 2019 Season 2: North America East and second in the Contenders Gauntlet. They have been with ATL Academy since the team formed last November.
Gator was a two-way player for the Atlanta Reign this past year and even played for the team during the postseason playoffs. He returned to ATL Academy after the postseason to play in the Contenders Gauntlet.
Hawk, meanwhile, has strictly played for ATL Academy for the past year. He has played in every map in ATL Academy's history.
The team will need to sign a new tank line as they have no other tanks on their roster. They are down to four players without their tanks. They are also without a main support foollowing the departure of FunnyAstro for the Fusion.
Hawk is the first new addition to the Reign roster this offseason. The Reign have publicly announced few moves prior to this week. Over the last few days, however, the Reign have parted with performance coach Casores and sent FunnyAstro to the Fusion.
All other players from the Reign's 2019 roster are currently subject to a team option. The team has not stated whether they have accepted or declined any of their options.
