The Washington Justice is undergoing some major changes to its staff. The team said goodbye to general manager Analynn \u201cBawlynn\u201d Dang and coach Christopher \u201cBani\u201d Benell today, just days ahead of the Overwatch <\/em>League’s May Melee.<\/p>
\u201cTo better equip our competitive team for success, we are announcing the release of Analynn ‘Bawlynn’ Dang and Chris ‘Bani’ Benell from their roles effective immediately,\u201d Justice vice president Grant Paranjape said<\/a>.<\/p>
The Washington Justice also said goodbye to DPS players Corey Nigra and Ethan \u201cStratus\u201d Yankel earlier this month. Corey retired from Overwatch <\/em>completely and transferred to Riot Games’ VALORANT<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>while Stratus left the Justice to move toward content creation<\/a>.<\/p>
In response, the Justice signed former Vancouver Titans’ Choi \u201cJJANU\u201d Hyeon-Woo and Lee \u201cStitch\u201d Chung-hee<\/a> to 14-day contracts. These short-time signings are permitted by the Overwatch <\/em>League’s new roster construction rules<\/a>, designed to grant teams more flexibility. The updated ruleset requires teams to have seven active players before a match instead of the previous eight\u2014and the Justice reached that mark with these temporary signings.<\/p>
