When other teams saw this offseason as a time to rebuild, Boston chose to double-down on their core. On Tuesday October 20, the Boston Uprising announced the return of veterans Cameron “Fusions” Bosworth, and Kelsey “Colourhex” Birse. In the same announcement, the Uprising unveiled that star rookies Leyton “Punk” Gilchrist and Sang-min “Myunb0ng” Seo are returning for 2021 as well.
The contact extensions come as a surprise to fans after Boston’s dismal 2-19 season.
