The New York Excelsior have announced the departure of director of player personnel Scott "BEARHANDS" Tester. With this departure, assistant coach Andrew Kim is now left as the only non-Korean hailing member of the roster.
I'd like to thank @NYXL for the opportunity to help build a founding team in the #OverwatchLeague. I'm really proud of what we've been able to accomplish, and I'm looking forward to the next adventure.
