Former New York Excelsior Coach WizardHyeong Denies Reports About His New Position
L: New York ExcelsiorFormer New York Excelsior coach Kim ‘WizardHyeong’ Hyeong-seok has denied reports that he’s signed on as the head coach for the new Washington D.C. Overwatch League franchise.
Fans were left stunned after New York’s acclaimed coach parted ways with the team, but according to Overwatch content creator Michael ‘mykL’ Padilla his new post will be a promotion to the position of head coach with one of the expansion teams for Season Two.
MykL also claims that though WizardHyeong had multiple offers, he chose to go with the one that offered the biggest pay check.
Sources: Washington DC have signed Wizardhyeong the Typical Genius as their Head Coach. Wizardhyeong was primarily looking for a big pay check. Multiple teams wanted him, but ultimately he went with the biggest offer.

mykL recently revealed the addition of Koo ‘xepheR’ Jae-mo to Florida Mayhem, which has since been confirmed, along with two more players which have not yet been announced.
MykL’s claims were additionally backed up by anonymous “leaker” @RealLeakBoy, who further claimed that Washington and Vancouver were in a bidding war for WizardHyeong and he had turned down the Shanghai Dragons despite an offer in excess of $150k.

WizardHyeong, however, denies that any move has been finalized, directly contradicting the claims that he has signed with Washington D.C. and refuting mykL’s claim that he was simply seeking a pay check by stating that he has already turned down the biggest offer he’s received.
