Next, they signed Min "Jerry" Tae-hee, a hitscan damage player coming off a season with the Boston Uprising in which he had "bright moments throughout," who signed on November 9.[3] Ten days later, the Justice signed Yoon "Bebe" Hee-chang, a support player who is an "expert Zenyatta and reliable Ana player."[4] The following day, the team signed veteran Jung "Closer" Won-sik, a "very capable" support player who played with the Dallas Fuel in 2020.[5] The next day, November 21, Washington signed Kim "Fury" Jun-ho, a veteran support player coming off of a top-four finish with the Philadelphia Fusion last season.[6] The Justice's final acquisition in November came the following day with the signing of Park "Ria" Sung-wook, a tank player coming off an "impressive playoffs performance" with the Hangzhou Spark.[7] The team's final offseason signing came in February; on February 14, 2021, they signed Kim "Assassin" Sung-won, a rookie damage player coming off of a third-place finish at Overwatch Contenders' The Gauntlet: Asia with team RunAway.[8]
