The DPS has since been signed by different esports outfits. Some of which are VASTA Gaming, International Golf Star, Shu\u2019s Money Crew EU, Ex Oblivione, The Ultimates, In Control, and more recently, Young and Beautiful, which he got signed into in October 2022. <\/p>\n<p>Sauna spent a handful of his career, which just kicked off with Shu\u2019s Money Crew EU, representing them in tournaments such as the 2021 Contenders EU Season 1 March, in which they soared to third place, although they lost to Ex Oblivione. The team made a better run at the same tournament in April of the same year, emerging in second place only behind the European team New Kings. With Young and Beautiful, Sauna was able to garner a third place alongside his other teammates in the 2022 Overwatch Contenders: Run It Back: Europe.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, CH0R0NG is a 19-year-old South Korean rookie who has been building his career since 2019. The support player has been able to grace a handful of esports outfits to showcase his skill sets. Some of the teams that CH0R0NG has represented include GZA, BATTLICA, Talon Esports, Mono Frog, WGS Armament, GGTC, and Toronto Defiant. <\/p>\n<p>CH0R0NG has been in a number of domestic tournaments, which has portrayed him as a potential star player and an asset to any team. Last year at the Overwatch League Summer Showdown, CH0R0NG and Toronto Defiant were able to secure a third-place finish. Although advancing to the <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/overwatch-league\/\" title=\"Overwatch League betting guide\" >Overwatch League<\/a> Playoffs, the team dropped to a disappointing 9th\u201312th place finish, losing to the Chinese team Hangzhou Spark in a high-tension match that closed on a 2:3 score line.<\/p>\n<p>CH0R0NG and Sauna will be joining the rest of their new teammates, which includes Tank Ham &#8220;Someone&#8221; Jeong-wan, 21-year-old South Korean DPS Baek &#8220;Checkmate&#8221; Seung-hun, and support Rupal Zaman and Korean DPS Choi &#8220;MER1T&#8221; Tae-min, who recently joined the team about three weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>The team will be led by their returning Australian head coach Jordan &#8220;Gunba&#8221; Graham and American assistant coach Caleb &#8220;McGravy&#8221; McGarvey.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And to wrap up our announcements we&#8217;re running it back with the dynamic duo! @McGravy @GunbaOW,&#8221; the team tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>With this selection, Florida Mayhem is hoping to put up a good fight in this year\u2019s season, having had a median rating at the last season and ending their run in the 2022 Overwatch League Playoffs with a seventh-eighth place finish.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, the North American esports outfit Florida Mayhem announced their complete 2023 Overwatch roster, including two new signees.
