choisehwan will remain with the organization. Joining him will be Selly , Mer1t , Shine , Costos , Clestyn and True .
While several members of the roster will be making their Contenders debut, a few of the team's additions bring experience to the team.

Mer1t will join Contenders Korea after previously playing in Contenders Pacific with New Paradigm.
The players coming in are replacing a group of six Kongdoo Panthera players who were signed to Overwatch League teams. Decay and rOar were signed to the Los Angeles Gladiators, while DDing, Luffy, CoMa and YoungJIN were signed to the Shanghai Dragons.
The team will be coached by NoMi and Parrot. They are also replacing a coach signed to the Overwatch League after BlueHaS left KDP to join the Shanghai Dragons.
