The Boston Uprising has made yet another major change to their roster in the lead-up to the 2020 Overwatch League season.
Shortly after announcing the departure of six players – including their entire support line – the Uprising shared that they have traded damage player Jeffrey “blasé” Tsang to the Houston Outlaws for cash considerations.
The 20-year-old joined the Uprising in October 2018 after competing for Gladiators Legion in Overwatch Contenders and fulfilled a variety of different roles throughout the 2019 season.
