Haley &#8220;Halo&#8221; Hamand and Yunhee &#8220;Aniyun&#8221; Chi are players on the mixed lineup that identify as she\/her and recently played under the Altoria Artemis roster to win the Calling All Heroes Challengers Cup Final. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/halo\/\" title=\"Halo betting guide\" >Halo<\/a> previously played for NRG Esports, Maryville Esports, and Boston Rising before being signed to NYXL. Other players on the lineup are Tal &#8220;ShockWave&#8221; Saar, Maximilian &#8220;Seicoe&#8221; Otter, Kim &#8220;Kellan&#8221; Min-Jae, Joseph &#8220;Lep&#8221; Cambriani, and Kim &#8220;Creative&#8221; Young-wan. <\/p>\n<p>NYXL first announced their intention to build a mixed roster late last year with members of the marginalized genders. By January, however, the organization was reportedly &#8220;struggling&#8221; to get the entire lineup together in time for the March deadline. <\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the issue, NYXL revealed that although the initial plan was well-intentioned, they faced issues because there was little OWL-level talent among the selected players. <\/p>\n<p>The organization also allegedly did not want to consider signing a mixed team because the &#8220;statement isn&#8217;t wide enough.&#8221; Despite this, NYXL ended up with a mixed lineup for the 2023 season months later. <\/p>\n<p>NYXL had a rather disappointing run in the 2022 season, ending with a 4-20 scoreboard. This resulted in the release of the entire team during the off-season. The team enters the 2024 season with only one player from the previous lineup, Kellan, whose contract was renewed to fill the sole tank role. <\/p>\n<p>The organization will debut their new lineup at the OWL 2023 Pro-Am West exhibition slated for March 30, where fans will see NYXL take on the Houston Outlaws.<br \/>\n\u2028<a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Excelsior unveiled their lineup roster ahead of the up and coming 2023 Overwatch League season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":2056,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[4,119,31,85],"class_list":["post-29123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-featured","tag-new-york-excelsior","tag-overwatch","tag-overwatch-league"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29123"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29123"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29123\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29124,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29123\/revisions\/29124"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
