On Twitter, Boston Uprising called them a “team of warriors” that aim to prove why Boston is called the city of champions. Here’s what to expect going into the 2023 season.

Boston’s 2023 roster

Here is the full Boston Uprising roster for 2023:

  • Yoo “smurf” Myeong-hwan, Tank
  • Kim “birdring” Ji-hyeok, DPS
  • Jang “Decay” Gui-un, DPS
  • Kwon “Striker” Nam-joo, DPS
  • Lee “LeeJaeGon” Jae-gon, Support
  • Kim “IZaYaKI” Min-chul, Support

The Boston Uprising have gone crazy this 2023 off-season, signing some of the top free agents available.

To start, we have smurf, a 2022 Role Star for the Seoul Dynasty and one of the most flexible tanks in the world. Then, we have the DPS trio of birdring, fresh off returning from retirement, Decay, the leader of the Washington Justice, and finally Striker with his third time at Boston. Then, we have the former Shanghai Dragons backline of LeeJaeGon and IZaYaKI. Despite not the best time in 2022, both of them still have proven to be one of the best support duos in the league.

All of these players have had success in the Overwatch League, with smurf and his time on Seoul and San Francisco, Birdring winning the championship in 2018, Striker’s time on San Francisco, and the Dragons backline that won the championship back in 2021.

Expectations higher for 2023

With this big 2023 off-season, the Boston Uprising and their new staff of manager Aaron “PRE” Heckman and new head coach Shin “Dongsu” Dong-soo will have to lead this team to a more successful season than in recent years. While the team looks great on paper, they’ll need to work well to compete in a 2023 season. Especially since a lot of teams will have large roster turnover.

In the end, we’ll have to wait and see how the new Uprising does with their Korean superteam.
