Philadelphia Fusion re-sign Hotba, also adds Tobi

Two more Korean stars land on the North American-based Overwatch League team.
Ben Lyons Senior Editor 9 april 2021

The Philadelphia Fusion Overwatch League team has signed two more members to its active line-up. Hong-joon "HOTBA" Choi, formerly of the New York Excelsior, and Jin-mo "tobi" Yang, of the Seoul Dynasty, will be joining the team in the Off-Tank and Main Support roles, respectively.

Both these players are Overwatch League veterans, after playing in the league for several years. Neither have managed to take home the elusive OWL Championship just yet, but by joining the Fusion, which has crafted an incredibly high-calibre team, this could be their year.

Due to the issues teams have been facing recently regarding getting visas for their players to play overseas, it wouldn't be surprising to see Hotba and Tobi in the starting line-up, when the Overwatch League kicks off next week.

These signings come around a month after the team added Dong-jun "Rascal" Kim to its roster, following a two-year stint under the San Francisco Shock banner.
