Alined was previously the DPS for Berkeley for both of their Tespa titles including the Fiesta Bowl Overwatch Collegiate National Championship earlier this year. He later became the main tank for Mayhem Academy in Contenders Season 2 and qualified for the playoffs with the team.

Merci works with Tespa as a Hearthstone tournament admin and is part of Tespa's insight team. She will continue her work with Tespa while working with the Shock.

The partnership between the school and the organization was first announced in April. The original plans for the partnership included investment in an esports arena and gaming hub.
