SoOn and ShaDowBurn both hail from existing Overwatch League teams. ShaDowBurn was one of the DPS for Philadelphia Fusion, which took second place in the inaugural season. SoOn played for the third place team, Los Angeles Valiant.
SoOn in particular was a star Tracer player and ShaDowBurn had great moments as Genji.
Finnsi, who will be Team Paris’ flex tank, was also a member of Los Angeles Valiant, but he didn’t play much in the previous season.
Most of the other team members were recruited from Overwatch Contenders, which features academy teams from the main Overwatch League organizations.
Unlike the other European franchise team, London Spitfire, Paris is picking talent from within the region.

But other teams seem to be following Spitfire’s lead. Shanghai Dragons recruited its new roster from Contenders Korea.
New teams, new faces, and new rosters for Overwatch League
