Team SoloMid announced today the creation of its Overwatch team after acquiring the roster of Code7, which was formerly the roster of Gale Force eSports. According to TSM's website, this is the sixth game the organization has a presence in.
The announcement comes in tandem with ELeague and FACEIT's announcement earlier today about their Overwatch open tournament. The qualifiers begin July 23, with a $300,000 prize pool on the line. It is not clear if TSM will participate, however.
The roster is as follows:
Anthony "harbleu" Ballo
Jake "torkTJO" Lepoff
Nicolas "NicolasTJO" Aubin
Joey "Jkw" Wavering
Joe "Joemeister" Gramano
Jack "Shake" Kaplan
The players took to Twitter to express their excitement.

TSM has recently seen success in their other endeavors. Its League of Legends squad currently holds the top spot in the North American League Championship Series, while Gonzalo "ZeRo" Barrios recently placed 3rd at the Evolution Championship Series for Smash 4.
