Axxiom was originally signed by Toronto Esports in March, midway through Contenders Season 1. At the time of his signing, Toronto Esports received criticism for signing him due to his boosting history. Nonetheless, he took over the role as the team's starting main tank and played in every Contenders match for Toronto Esports for the remainder of Contenders Season 1 and the entirety of Contenders Season 2.
Colourhex was signed to Toronto Esports at the end of August, during the Contenders offseason and before preexisting Overwatch League teams could make offers to free agents. He was on the Toronto Esports roster during their BEAT Invitational victory, but he did not play a single map during the run. He is the first player from New Zealand to join the Overwatch League.
They are the second and third players from Contenders to be added to the Uprising roster this season. The first was blasé , who was signed last week.
After the signing of Axxiom and Colourhex, as well as the transfer of Neko to the Toronto Defiant, the Uprising now has eight players.
The next season of the Overwatch League begins February 14.
