On December Friday December 23, the Overwatch League free agency window opened. Teams can now officially sign free agents and proceed to build their 2023 rosters. While some teams are still working out the final steps of their deals, the Boston Uprising wasted no time securing their team. The Boston Uprising announced their 2023 OWL roster early Friday morning, and it is one that will leave Uprising fans in disbelief.
The Boston Uprising welcome in Jae-gon “LeeJaeGon” Lee, Min-chul “Izayaki” Kim, Myeong-hwan “Smurf” Yoo, Ji-hyeok “Birdring” Lee, Gui-un “Decay” Jang and for the third time, Nam-joo “Striker” Kwon.
Take some time and read that all right. The Boston Uprising have constructed a roster of premier talent from across the league. For the first time in years, the Boston Uprising do not have a rookie on their roster. The 2023 iteration of the Boston Uprising just may end up being the best version of the team since its Inaugural season.

Underneath the initial Twitter thread is the annoucement of the new coach and assistant General Manager. Dong-soo “Dongsu” Shin will lead the team as the Head Coach for the 2023 season, and Seung-jun “Sup7eme” Han will serve as the Assistant GM to Aaron “Pre” Heckman.
The Boston Uprising have their sights set on a championship this season with this roster packed with talent. Now fans will have plenty of offseason to discuss the brand new Uprising squad.
