The two are the first in the Spark’s 2020 roster to leave the team. Bazzi has been with the organization since their formation in late 2018, and yeah joined as a staff member last November.
Bazzi first gained recognition in the Overwatch scene with Seven, who competed in the APEX circuit and then Contenders Korea. He then joined the Spark in late 2018 and competed throughout the 2019 Overwatch League season, including the playoffs where they finished fourth.
Bazzi was then re-signed last November, and competed in five matches this season following the league’s move to online play. His last match was against the Guangzhou Charge, where they lost 3-1.
The Spark are currently 10th place in the standings, and are set to compete in the May Melee Asia, with their first match against the Seoul Dynasty.
