đź“ť Once Again announce roster for 2026
The Chinese Overwatch team, Once Again, also known as Weibo Gaming, have announced their roster for the 2026 OWCS season. The new roster retains the core players of Xu “Guxue” Qiulin, Huang “Leave” Xin, and Zheng “Shy” Yangjie, while adding greater tank flexibility in Chen "SUNZO" Cheng and a new support line in Lee "LeeSooMin" Soo-Min and Oh "MAKA" Eun-seok. Both Shin “Dongsu” Dong-soo and Kim “Daemin” Dae-min will coach Once Again, with Dongsu as Head Coach.
Once Again also announced the departure of their previous support line, Li “Mew” Xianyao and Zhou “Mmonk” Xiang, as well as Tracer specialist Li “Apr1ta” Yuanjinghao. According to Once Again’s social media, Mew and Mmonk will continue to compete in the 2026 season under a “sister team,” which will be officially announced next Monday.
SUNZO previously played for Team CC using the tag BILIDENG. Throughout the 2025 season, he gradually phased out veteran player Qiu “GA9A” Jiaxin and became a key part of Team CC’s improved performance later in the year. He specializes in off tanks, complementing Guxue’s own main tank hero pool.
LeeSooMin and MAKA were support partners on All Gamers Global and WAY. Their team frequently placed 3rd and 4th in Korea last year, battling T1 and ZETA DIVISION for the honor of being the next-best team in Korea after domestic juggernaut Crazy Raccoon. Together, LeeSooMin and MAKA often played aggressive double flex support compositions, with LeeSooMin on Kiriko.
Dongsu and Daemin will replace Once Again’s former coaches Kim “Jfeel” Jeong-min and Kim “Yong” Yong-jin. As fellow All Gamers Global and WAY alumni, Dongsu and Daemin already have experience working with LeeSooMin and MAKA.
Once Again’s all-Chinese roster in 2025 dominated domestically, but failed to place higher than 4th in international competition. Their 2026 roster marks a new era for Once Again, which have never used import players until now. This season will be star DPS player Leave’s first-ever time competing with a mixed team. With these new signings, Once Again will look to overcome any possible communication barriers and rise to the top.
