About SFS
SFS has participated in approximately 8 major tournaments, securing direct invitations to 7 of them. Their early success included a 9th place finish at the Overwatch League 2018, followed by consistent top placements in subsequent years. Notable recent tournament performances include a 5th place finish at the Overwatch League 2023, and top-four finishes in OWL 2022 and OWL 2021 (earning prizes of around $30,000 and $250,000 respectively). Their victory at OWL 2020 remains their crowning achievement, demonstrating their peak performance and strategic prowess. They also participated in the ESET Runback Series in 2022.
Over the years, the San Francisco Shock has featured a total of 16 players, maintaining a relatively stable roster with many players staying for multiple seasons. Notable players who have contributed to the team's success include Rascal, STRIKER, sinatraa, and others. The current roster consists of a mix of Korean and other players, including Proper (Kim Donghyun), Finn (Oh Sejin), HeeSang (Chae Hee-sang), MAX (Choi Su-min), Vindaim, and junbin (Park Jun-bin). This blend of talent and experience continues to drive the team's competitive spirit.
While SFS has achieved remarkable tournament success, the team has yet to secure any official rankings in the world or regional team rankings. This is likely due to the evolving nature of the Overwatch League ranking system and the team's focus on individual tournament performance. However, their consistent top-tier finishes demonstrate their undeniable skill and position them as a perennial contender in the professional Overwatch scene.
