With a number of Overwatch League teams having announced player departures, janus will follow suit as he has officially entered free agency.
Today we have parted ways with Joon-hwa "Janus" Song. It was an incredible year, and we couldn't have done it without you, @januspy_. You've always been a wonderful player and teammate. We wish you the absolute best in your career! pic.twitter.com/HlF8hG7XFN

Huge thanks to @NYXL and the fans. It was incredible year for my life. I was so happy to be in the team. And yeah, of course I'm looking for team if you need a typical weeb main tank

Similarly to those that were released before him, janus did not see much playtime throughout the inaugural Overwatch League season over his main tank counterpart Mano , only appearing in 69 maps compared to Mano's 105 maps played throughout the team's 40 regular season matches (excluding playoff matches). When including the Excelsior's 8 post-stage and postseason matches, this total jumps to 81 maps played for janus and 127 maps played for Mano.
Prior to his Overwatch League debut, janus was a part of the LuxuryWatch Blue team that would eventually become the

That team's most notable placing in a tournament was 3rd in Season 2 of the OGN APEX tournament, where the best teams in Korea and from the Americas and Europe would prove themselves against the talent rich Koreans on LAN. Lunatic-Hai would eventually go on to win the entire tournament, and eventually become the core of the

With the September 9th deadline for past Overwatch League players contracts set to expire, and the Excelsior having already parted ways with WizardHyeong , one can only wonder who may be the next to depart (or join) the Overwatch League for its second season.
