One of the first to coach a top-tier Overwatch team, roflgator has been coaching since the beta days of Overwatch. He is best known from his days of coaching Fnatic, where the structure and insight he brought highlighted what a coach could bring to a team. His achievements as a coach include a 1st place finish at the first Overwatch TaKeOver with Rogue, as well as 2nd at DreamHack Winter 2016 and 3rd at ESL Atlantic Showdown, Overwatch Open, and MLG Vegas, all with Fnatic.
Beasthalo joined Tempo following a brief stint into free agency following his run as the main tank for You Guys Get Paid?. He has played tank for Tempo since May on trial before his signing this past weekend. His sights are set high, "Now that I've joined Tempo Storm," Beasthalo said, "My goal is to show everyone that the talent on this team will make us rank 1."
