The Shock returns to competitive Overwatch

As the NRG Shock now, and no longer the San Francisco Shock.
Ben Lyons Senior Editor 3 June 2024

We reported a few weeks ago that esports organisation NRG was looking into bringing back its Overwatch 2 team, the Shock, as it continues to support and expand additional rosters ahead of the Esports World Cup. Well, that has now been confirmed, with a bit of a change.

Because the former Overwatch League team will be dropping the San Francisco part of its name and officially going forward as the NRG Shock now. Not only that, a team has been signed, but this one isn't as stacked and star-studded as past Shock rosters have been. As for who makes up the returning Shock, the team is as follows.

  • Matteo "cal" Mazzucco
  • Boston "Infekted" Fine
  • Evan "PGE" Ngo
  • Kyle "Rakattack" Rakauskas
  • Jamal "scissors" Son
  • William "WMaimone" Maimone
  • Albert "yeHHH" Yeh as the general manager
  • Eric "Wheats" Perez as the coach
  • Adam "debit" Moutrane as the manager
  • Jayme "clicky" Brereton as the manager

How do you think this Shock team will fare?
