Both players have failed to see Overwatch League play time outside of Stage 1. NoSmite was splitting time with fellow main tank guxue before the latter settled as the starting tank player for the Spark. Bazzi mostly played Brigitte for the Spark in Stage 1, however his role has been replaced by Adora and Krystal since then.

This will be the first roster change for Bilibili Gaming since they announced their roster in March. Except for the Guangzhou Charge's now defunct academy team, the Spark's academy team is the only Chinese academy team to utilize two-way players. The two Korean players will be joining a full Chinese squad on Bilibili Gaming, being the first foreign imports for the team.

Bilibili Gaming now has nine players on their roster, meaning at least one player will sit out for each week of Contenders.

Recently, the team won the Summer 2019 edition of the LanStory Cup, netting them 100,000 yuan (~$14,500 USD) as prize money. They will now be attempting to seek a championship in Contenders after finishing in the semifinals last season.

The next season of Contenders China begins July 1.
