The complete squad also included Alec "Arcitys" Sanderson, Preston "Prestinni" Sanderson and Tyler "aBeZy" Pharris.

It's the same team that won the Pro League Finals last month in Miami - giving eUnited back-to-back tournament titles.

Next year's championships will see a change, with the league becoming franchised in the same way as the Overwatch League.

So far teams have been set up in Atlanta, Dallas, New York, Paris, Toronto, Los Angeles and Minnesota.
