Although the team still have to announce the majority of their squad, it seems this might at last be the team fans of Chinese Overwatch have been looking for.

Despite three of the eight expansion teams for Season Two being based in Chinese cities, prior to Chengdu’s announcement both Guangzhou Charge and Hangzhou spark had revealed squads with only a minority of Chinese players.

Yveltal was part of China’s impressive run to the finals of this year’s World Cup.

Meanwhile, Shanghai Dragons completely overhauled their Season One roster, removing all but one of their Chinese players and rebuilding with South Korean talent.

Despite China taking an impressive second-place at this year’s Overwatch World Cup, prior to Chengdu’s announcement it seemed possible that the league might not see a majority-Chinese squad in Season Two despite the expansion teams.
