saebyeolbe and bowling: he was a a professional bowler for 4 years. during those 4 years his coach abused him mentally and physically all the time. during he professional career as bowler one time he wanted to see what would a bowling ball do if he bounced it on bed and.... he bounced it too hard, the ball hit his teeth and broke his front teeth. also he blows on his fingers all the time before starting a game, it’s a habit from bowling.

he is best friends with mano, and really good friends with jake, unkoe, rascal and iddqd.
 there were two LW teams, RED and BLUE. 
RED was founded first and pine was leader of that team but they werent very successful so BLUE was formed and with fl0w3r and sbb as their dps they saw a lot of success. 
their best match ever, the one theyre most proud of it LW BLUE vs RUNAWAY semi finals apex season 2 ( FULL VOD ) 
his favorite movie is KINGSMAN and thats why his alt is named ‘eggsy’. also he met someone in comp who was named ‘merlin’ and also loved kingsman and duoed with him and they became friends.

he is high risk and high reward player, if he doesnt perform well they lose and if he performs well they steam roll

MANO -  dong-gyu kim
april 12, 1996 (age 21)
he wasn’t a good student at all, had a lot of problems, would skip class all the time and run away from home
diagnosed with adhd,
he didn’t like any jobs he wasn’t interested in anything so he decided to go into military but then overwatch was released 
his first team was rhinos gaming but his big team and the one that he is known for is AFREECA BLUE (people who also used to be part of that team: KALIOS (boston), DAYFLY (philly fusion), ARHAN (best known for ARAHN LUL meme, he sometimes fucks up a lot) and TAIRONG (previous coach of AF BLUE, now coach of HOUSTON))
his first game was maple story 
in overwatch he started out as a dps player but there were so many already incredible dps players that he couldn’t find a way to break out so he switched to support, he was an amazing lucio/ana player but didn’t see much success  until he started maining winston. 
his frienemy is MIRO, they have a big part, miro got him into pro overwatch and there has always been a rivalry because they were the first two to make winston so important, also mano was chosen for world cup 2017 and many fans sent him hate because everyone wanted miro to be on that team, but the truth it mano is just as good on winston but he is a way better rein than miro.
during apex he was asked who he wants to be friends with and he said ‘saebyeolbe i wanna be friends with you, youre so cool’ AND THEN THEY BECAME BEST FRIENDS 
mano is also really really really good friends with calvin and he’s like the only person calvin likes duoing with 
currently he is rank 1 NA 
JANUS -  joong-hwa song
battletag: janus - he feels like he has two parts of himself one that is dedicated to his family and another that is very shy and wants to do his best to become a good pro gamer, so he named himself JANUS the roman two face god. 
january 28, 1997 (age 21)
his english is really good because he studied hard in middle school but he has also taught himself japanise 
he’s a weeb, and like effect he LOOOOVES miku (shes his phone and computer background) 
he is very attached to his pillow and carries it everywhere with himself 
janus is sadly the best known for having many health issues. he has very sick lungs and requires medical care often but he has been getting better recently. 
his first main was zenyatta but then when team (LW BLUE) needed a main tank he learned how to play monkey. 
MEKO -  tae-hong kim
july 25, 1997 (age 20) 
he wasn’t a very good student but he was an amazing soccer played so when he was in middle school he joined a soccer academy 
when he was in middle school his father was a victim of fraud and his family ended up in a lot of debt and very very poor, that was the most difficult time in his life but then the situation god better
he is best BEST friends with jjonak and theyre very close but in the team everyone calls them ‘dumb and dumber’ they say that in game they both have 900iq but out of game theyre fucking dumb lmao 
his best character is DVA and hog 
JJONAK -  sung-hyeon bang
december 20, 1999 (age 18) 
battle tag: jjonak - awkward octopus 
his battletag has become a meme to him so he named all his smurfs stuff like ‘, KKONAK.. GGONAK’ and even carpe has a smuft ‘BBONAK’ because they duo almost every night. he also has a smuft ‘JJONJEHONG’ 
so he is very young and he became a pro player because since middleschool hes been friends with GIDO who plays for seoul dynasty. gido won apex season 3 and jjonak went to watch him live and he was so so jealous that gido won that and that he gets to play with jjonaks idol that jjonak dedicated everything to become the best 
he played ranked every day, destroying ladder as zenyatta and ending up for three seasons in a row rank 1 in korea 
many teams offered him contracts but he sided with nyxl and until overwatch league he was kinda like a myth, no one believed that he is that good 
then on one anubis map, jjonak had the most damage out of everyone in the lobby, every dps was doing worse than him, sbb on tracer had 5k less damage than him
he is kinda a legend and he is the best zenyatta in the world 
but also he is a teenage boy with A LOT of money so he does stuff like buy tennis shoes that cost 800 dollars and a hoodie thats costs 1,020 dollars 
his best friends are meko and carpe (but also special shout out to alarm, alarm is like jjonaks student) 
he wanted to be like jehong so much that he copied EVERYTHING jehong did 
jjonaks crazy stats
jjonak and carpe being assholes, carpe yelling at jjonak that hes a fucking pussy noob if he doesnt sleep the rein
jjonak tracer gameplay
jjonak and meko have a running joke of never high fiving
JJONAK DESTROYS PINE LMAOOO
carpe nanos jjonak as zen and let’s him destroy everyone

he is the main shot caller and tracks every enemy ult and always know at what % enemy ult is 
his out of game IQ translates in game incredibly 
to many he has already won the INTERNETHULK award that is basically an award honoring the most positive and best influence in overwatch league
he’s an only child and he is very much a big loner, he had a hard time getting close to anyone when he joined the league even tho he knew most NYXL players. but he soon became close friends with dreamkazper and they are so so fucking cute like their friendship is actually good and nice. but besides dream he is close with libero, and they spend a lot of time together. 
he was accepted to YONSEI university, and he wanted to study nursing but put it on hold when he was picked up as part of NYXL 
he is the best mercy player in the league, second best lucio and one of the best ana players his sleep darts are actually insane. 
he love loves LOVES dance, dance revolution and plays it a lot. also he loves ed sheeran, he listens to him all the time
his pomposity is stupid, its insane how calm he stays and nice to everyone 
many casters have said that ark is the most disciplined player in the league because so fat he has never misused his ult 
and also he started maining lucio because of stanky
he and sbb have a habit of calling armor packs ‘cookies’
ark predicts which ults enemy team has and how they will use them securing his team to win
