Welcome Guxue and Nosmite!!! pic.twitter.com/7XsUPA5peK
guxue first entered the limelight when he joined LGD Gaming as the team's tank in March of 2017. He played the remainder of 2017 with the organization and the entirety of 2018. During that time, he became the tank for China's 2018 World Cup team and has been widely regarded as one of the best main tanks in China.
NoSmite was the main tank for X6-Gaming, a team he first joined in December of 2016. He was with the organization during both APEX seasons X6 competed in, as well as both seasons of Contenders Korea. This includes X6's championship run in Contenders Season 1.
Both players come from teams the franchise's new coaching staff were apart of. The Spark's head coach, MASK, was the head coach of X6. Assistant coach Yindong was the head coach of LGD Gaming.
The Spark need to sign six more players to meet the league's roster minimum of eight players. They must have those eight players by December 1.
