Longtime LinGan e-Sports (LGE) manager Gong \u201cCola\u201d Mingyu will act as general manager for the team.\u00a0 Last week, Los Angeles announced that LGE would continue operating the team throughout the 2022 season, guaranteeing the acquisition of and focus on Chinese Overwatch talent. NoHill has acted as an advisor and coach for Team CC, the Shanghai Dragons\u2019 Overwatch Contenders academy team, over the past two years. The team won the 2020 Contenders Gauntlet in Asia and made significant strides in Contenders Korea over the last year. He also has ties to LGE\u2019s former teams, like LGE.Huya.\u00a0\u00a0 Assistant coach WooHyaL may be a familiar name for many longtime Overwatch League fans. He played off-tank for the London Spitfire during the inaugural season of the league but was made inactive halfway through the season. He then went on to the Contenders circuit, playing for teams like Gen.G Esports and RunAway. Since early 2021, he\u2019s been playing for Team CC.\u00a0 Other than the confirmation of LGE\u2019s continued operating agreement with the team, the Los Angeles Valiant has been silent during the Overwatch League offseason. No players are signed to the team\u2019s roster for 2022 yet.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/12102448\/valiantart.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499986"}],"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=499986"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499986\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":500075,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499986\/revisions\/500075"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499986"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=499986"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=499986"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=499986"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=499986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
