We thank HOTBA for all his hard work during our inaugural season and wish him good luck with Team Guangzhou! pic.twitter.com/mKfc5TX2vR
HOTBA shared playtime throughout most of the season with his flex counterpart Poko . Although HOTBA did not see any stage time during Stages 2 and 3 of the regular season, he was present for at least one map of every postseason playoff game that the Fusion competed in. There, he demonstrated his flexibility, playing the traditional flex tank heroes such as D.Va and Zarya as well as Tracer and Zenyatta in specific situations.
The Fusion finished second in the postseason behind the champions, the
