The Overwatch 2 Roster Tracker is Live - Stay updated with the latest changes in the Overwatch League.

The Overwatch League off-season is here, as teams in the Overwatch 2 professional scene begin to make moves and change their rosters during the long winter break. Keep an eye on this space as we keep you up-to-date with Overwatch League off-season roster changes in this article. The OWL off-season roster tracker is updated regularly.

One of the team's first signings since the official move from Paris to Vegas, the Eternal announced the acquisition of Jack "Vulcan" McArthur, a former tank player for the Excelsior.

The youngest player to reach max rank in the Overwatch 2 NA ladder, the Vancouver Titans announced the signing of prospect DPS player Kamden “Sugarfree” Hijada.

Relying on a mix of lauded prospects from the Korean Contenders division, the San Francisco Shock revealed its 2023 roster before a showmatch scrimmage against the 2022 Grand Finals Champions Dallas Fuel while in Korea. The reveal includes Kim "Proper" Dong-hyun, Chae "HeeSang" Hee-sang, Choi "MAX" Su-min, Oh "FiNN" Se-jin, and Park "Vindaim" Jun-woo.

In addition to signing a new tank, the Houston Outlaws also announced plans to bring back DPS player Lee "Happy" Jung-woo for the 2023 season.

Yet another team starting fresh for 2023, the Vancouver Titans announced two starting players. Main tank and former Team Australia player Leyton "Punk" Gilchrist and support Kim "Faith" Hong-gyu join a team looking to recover from downtrodden 2022 season.

The Boston Uprising wasted no time in making waves, announcing a fully stacked 2023 roster. The lineup includes Lee "LeeJaeGon" Jae-gon, Kwon "Striker" Nam-joo, Yoo "smurf" Myeong-hwan, Jang "Decay" Gui-un, Ji-hyeok "birdring" Kim, and Kim "IZaYaKI" Min-chul. In short, it's a squad made up of mostly former OWL champions and if the team can avoid quitting three matches into the season could very well be strong contenders.

With free agency signing hours away the Houston Outlaws went ahead and gave its fans a Christmas present in the form of a DPS announcement. 2022 standout--and arguable the best player on the team after the departure of Danteh--PELICAN is making a return to the team in 2023. This is the team's first major signing announcement since, essentially, placing it's entire team up for free agency.

Just off announcing an entire liquidation of its team, the Washington Justice announced a new General Manager and head coach in Zouheir "GetAmazed" Baba, a former EU Contenders and Saudi league coach. He also played in Open Division EU in 2022.

A former Boston Uprising coach is getting new life as the Vancouver Titans announced their new head coach Valentin "Ascoft" Wulfman.

Going the route of Jake with the Houston Outlaws, former Atlanta Reign player will now transition into being the team's head coach, as announced on Twitter. In addition, the team announced the player signings of Lee "LIP" Jae-won from Shanghai and Jeong "Stalk3r" Hak-yong from Seoul.

Head coach Brad "Sephy" Rajani of the Atlanta Reign announced his retirement via social media.

In a surprise offseason move the Seoul Dynasty have parted ways with four players, including two premiere former acquisitions. The team says goodbye to Kim "Ir1s" Seung-hyun, Yoo "smurf" Myeong-hwan, Kim "FITS" Dong-eun, and Park "Vindaim" Jun-woo.

Yet another team joints the parade of orgs letting loose their 2022 rosters. This time, it includes the Boston Uprising announcing the releases of Leyton "Punk" Gilchrist, Kim "Valentine" Byeong-ju, Alex "Seeker" Taylor, William "Crimzo" Hernandez, Kim "Mag" Tae-sung, and Oh "Victoria" Gi-hun.

Things have been rough for the Zombie Vancouver Titans, ever since its much-publicized mass roster release from years prior. The trend continues once more as the team announced its removal of all players, minus standout DPS player Luka “Aspire” Rolovic.

The releases include Chris “MirroR” Trinh, Rene “k1ng” Range, Nick “False” Wiseman, Petja “Masaa” Kantanen, Robert “Skairipa” Lupsa and Park “Aztac” Jeong-su.

In a move that isn't so shocking given how the 2022 offseason has gone, the Washington Justice have parted ways with... Everybody? This includes their entire competitive roster, as well as coaches. While the move makes sense given the sheer amount of talen that will be available, the number of teams all making this complete extinction move comes as a surprise.

The releases include players An "OPENER" Gi-beom, Jeong "Krillin" Young-hoon, Shin "Kalios" Woo-yeol, Kim "Assassin" Sung-won and Jang "Decay" Gui-un, as well as coaches Han "Sup7eme" Seung-jun and Haeni "Haeni" Kim.

Initially a major pickup of the 2021 offseason, the San francisco Shock are parting ways with Jung “Kilo” Jin-woo. A former Contenders standout, the DPS player Kilo enters a packed free agency pool that also saw the release of four Shock players a week before.

The Lord of Lijiang Tower is gone as the Shanghai Dragons part ways with Lee "LeeJaeGon" Jae-gon. Known for his outstanding Lucio play, the former Runaway team member spent three seasons with the Dragons, including their championship-winning season.

A continuation of its releases from last week, the Houston Outlaws are now without coach Lee "HoChiLee" Dong-young. Before his 2022 stint with the Outlaws he was with the Toronto Defiant.

Joining their city sisters the Gladiators in mass releases, the Los Angeles Valiant have let go of Chen "Haru" Xingyou and players Lu "Diya" Weida, He "Molly" Chengzhi, Chen "Lengsa" Jingyi and Zhong "Haker" Haotian.

Joining the release party seen all offseason the Hangzhou Spark released head coach Sehyun "Neko" Park, in addition to players Minho “Architect” Park, Sewon “Bernar” Shin and Minki “Teru” Kim.

Bucking current offseason trends of only releasing folks, the Toronto Defiant gained a head coach in Cas "Casores" Andel. The pick-up marks one of the first acquisitions of the season, with Casores coming off a stint with the San Fransisco Shock.

The LA Gladiators have entered the offseason contract merry-go-round, announcing a number of team options, expirations, and declined options. The list of players includes the release of Corey "Reiner" Scoda,Indy "SPACE" Halpern, Lee "Happy" Jung-woo, Kim "Shu" Jin-seo and Kim "skewed" Min-seok. The few options on contracts are Kevin "kevster" Persson and Daniel "FunnyAstro" Hathaway.

After an impressive and deep run in the 2022 Grand Finals Tournament the London Spitfire announced a number of options, expired contracts, and releases. The moves include optioning the contracts of standout tank Hadi "Hadi" Bleinagel, Jamie "Backbone" O'Neill, Oliver "Admiral" Vahar and Landon "Landon" McGee. The expired and declined contracts include William "SparkR" Andersson, Johannes "Shax" Nielsen, Gael "Poko" Gouzerch and Emir "Kaan" Okumus.

The New York Excelsior have joined the ongoing off-season trend of teams parting ways with their entire squad. The releases include Lim “Flora” Young-woo, Kim “Yaki” Junki, Kang “Gangnamjin” Namjin, An “ANSOONJAE” Soon-jae, Kim “Kellan” Min-jae and eon “Ho1” Ho-won. This is yet another reset for the team, as the NYXL saw a revamp at the beginning of the 2022 season.

In yet another shakeup, the San Francisco Shock announced the parting of ways with assistant coach Cas "Casores" Andel. Casores had been with the team since 2020.

Not to let all the other teams have the offseason fun, the Toronto Defiant announced a few major releases from their 2022 roster in preparations for the next season. The list of releases includes coach Kwon "Yang1" Yang-won, head coach Sim "Mobydik" Seung-bo, Lee "Twilight" Joo-seok and Jeong "Heesu" Hee-su. The release of Twilight is of note given his role as one of the strongest support players in the league, having served with the San Francisco Shock during their 2020 Grand Finals win.

Florida's resident Overwatch League team is joining the pack of squads making coaching staff changes, as well as a few roster moves. In addition to the release of assistant coach Woo "Dae1" Dae-won, players Isaiah "Hydron" Rodriguez, Jung "Xzi" Ki-hyo, Jung "Anamo" Taesung, and Majed "SirMajed" Alrashied were also released.

The former champion Shanghai Dragons are now in search of a new direction following a disappointing season in 2022. The beginning of that search came in the form of a complete roster shift minus three players. Kim “IZaYaKI” Minchul, Lee “LIP” Jae-won and Lee “LeeJaeGon” Jae-gon will remain with the team after having their contracts either optioned or accepted, leaving their five other players to test free agency.

After a season of upheaval and change the Paris Eternal is making even more moves. The team announced the release of head coach Choi "JMAC" Dae-han, as well as players Domenic "Krawi" Akrawi and Cameron "wub" Johnson. The release of Krawi and wub continues a trend seen this offseason of teams letting go of Contenders pickups made at the start of the 2022 season.

Quick off the heels of his announcement as team general manager, Aaron "PRE" Heckman posted a series of tweets seeking to clarify the status of the Boston Uprising roster going into 2023. While the status of said contracts is a mix of expired and declined, it looks as though the entire Uprising roster is in flux and in unrestricted free agency.

The 2022 Grand Finals champion Dallas Fuel announced that the entire team is trying the waters of unrestricted free agency, in a series of tweets from Mike "Hastr0" Rufail.

Rosterpocalypse 2022 continues as the Philadelphia fusion releases a number of players, including star player Lee "Carpe" Jae-hyeok who will leave to try his hand in T1 Valorant play. The roster releases besides Carpe include Hwang “Belosrea” Gyu-tae, Kim “Fury” Junho, Kwon “AimGod” Minseok and Kwon “FiXa” Yeong-hun.

To prove that offseason moves aren't all releases, Philly also announced the re-signing of Benjamin "Zest" Seet and Yoon "MN3" Jae-hee, both former Contenders standouts who made the jump to OWL at the start of the 2022 season.

In an offseason already full of players LFT, former DPS standout Ji-hyeok "birdring" Kim has announced his unretirement. In a series of tweets in English and Korean, Birdring expressed his interest in making a return to OWL, saying he just wants to win again.

The return of Birdring to OWL comes after a series of up and down moves for the player after representing the London Spitfire through two playoff runs. This includes retiring to try his hand at content creation for the Los Angeles Gladiators.

Continuing the offseason fire sale and after a disappointing 0-2 showing in the Overwatch League 2022 Grand Finals tournament, the Atlanta Reign are saying farewell to six players. The releases include Christian "Ojee" Han, Benjamin "UltraViolet" David, Charlie "nero" Zwarg, Lee "Venom" Dong-keun and Nicholas "Speedily" Zou.

Shortly after, the team continued to announce the departure of Blake "Gator" Scott. Nothing says "complete team rebuild" like nuking 3/4ths of your roster in one fell swoop.

Despite yet another heroic and deep Grand Finals tournament run, it appears even the San Francisco Shock are not immune to change. The team announced that it parted ways with Kwon "Striker" Nam-joo, Colin "Coluge" Arai, Samuel "s9mm" Santos and Michael "mikeyy" Konicki. Striker's tenure with the team ends after four years and two Overwatch League Grand Finals wins. Meanwhile, the tank line of Coluge and mikeyy should be major offseason acquisitions due to their impressive showings during this year's Grand Finals.

After placing third in the final Overwatch League tournament of the season the Houston Outlaws are already making roster moves.

Houston released Tomas "Doge" Kongsøre, Joseph "Lep" Cambriani and Kim "Creative" Young-wan; all three pick-up acquisitions during a mid-season shuffle made as a reaction to a shifting meta. The release of Creative stands out among the roster moves, thanks in part to his support play as Kiriko. Creative played 96% of his time as the newest Overwatch 2 hero during the Outlaws' deep and unexpected playoff run.

After a season of ups and downs that saw the team finish 10th in the West Division, the Boston Uprising announced an off-season change at the head coach position. Former Washington Justice general manager Aaron "PRE" Heckman will take over coaching duties for the Uprising, with previous coach Valentin “Ascot” Wulfman having left the team immediately after Grand Finals.

Off-season restructuring kicked off early when the Vancouver Titans announced shortly after Overwatch League Grand Finals via Twitter that it had parted ways with head coach David “dpei” Pei. The release of Pei signals the end of a season of frustration for the Titans, in which the team failed to get a single win before the mid-season hiring of the coach in July. Of course, those familiar with the tumultuous history of the Titans know that this isn't the first time the team has made a major restructuring move.
