The former San Francisco Shock hitscan expert announced today that he\u2019s returning to the Overwatch League, and his previous team, after retiring earlier this year.\u00a0\u00a0 ANS, also known as ANSANSNIPER, was a crucial part of the Shock during the team\u2019s dominant 2020 season and eventual championship win. Known for his immaculate aim on heroes like Widowmaker and McCree, he emerged as one of the most dangerous rookie DPS players last year. After winning the Overwatch League trophy alongside the rest of San Francisco\u2019s roster, he retired from professional Overwatch.\u00a0 He\u2019s spent the last few months pursuing a career in the VALORANT scene, joining T1 and playing as part of the organization\u2019s academy team.\u00a0 Much like former hitscan extraordinaire Kim \u201cPine\u201d Do-hyeon, who recently came out of retirement to join the Dallas Fuel, ANS apparently couldn\u2019t resist the lure of the Overwatch League. Both snipers also cited mental health issues in their initial retirement messages, but appear to have come back stronger after spending time away from the league.\u00a0 ANS may now step in to fill the hitscan role left by Kwon \"Striker\" Nam-joo, who announced his surprising retirement from the Shock roster earlier today. The San Francisco Shock\u2019s next game is against the Los Angeles Gladiators on June 25 at 3:30pm CT.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/29163659\/2019-S5W3D4-133401-San-Francisco-Shock-fan-Robert-Paul.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416660"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1722"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=416660"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416660\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":417326,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416660\/revisions\/417326"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/272688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=416660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=416660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=416660"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=416660"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=416660"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=416660"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=416660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
