The third Overwatch League team has had its name revealed according to a new post from the league's official website: the San Francisco Shock.

The San Francisco Shock is one of three teams based out of California; the other two as-yet-unnamed teams who will be playing Overwatch competitively are both headquartered in Los Angeles. Aside from the official announcement from the league, the team's official Twitter put out a short video hyping up the announcement of the team, and their parent organization NRG Esports released a YouTube video introducing the team's current roster:

The team's logo is a stylized seismic wave that also pays homage to the imagery of the iconic Bay Bridge in San Francisco. The team's primary color orange is shared with the Golden Gate Bridge and the gold accents on the logo and their team skin represent the city's origins with the California Gold Rush of the 1800s.

As for the team's hero skin, Doomfist is the hero who will be representing the team by wearing their colors. His skin is a mix of orange, black, and silver with yellow and gold accents:
