O2 Blast (formerly known as O2 Ardeont and O2 Team) is a South Korean Overwatch esports organization. In 2018 O2 Blast merged with Ardeont to form O2 Ardeont and in January 2019 O2 Team merged with StormQuake to form O2 Blast.

It became known about the changes in the composition of 2022, the first to join the team was the South Korean DPS player Dongwoo "Spectra" Ko, who previously played in Team CC. Spectra is a strong player who demonstrates high results in tournament battles, the main victory in his history to this day is the match against Gen.G esports at Overwatch Contenders 2020: The Gauntlet: Asia, with a 4:1 result and $65,000 in prize money. In 2021, Spectra faced O2 Blast 2 times, at Overwatch Contenders 2021 Season 1: Korea lost with a score of 2:4 and a prize win of $27,500, and in the finals of NetEase Esports X Tournament - 2021 - Spring with an honorable 1st place and a match result of 4:2, and the prize money was $7,763.5.

South Korean support player Go "Ho1" Dong-woo joined O2 Blast next from O2 Academy.

Ho1 is a young player showing his potential and having experience playing in the professional scene since 2020, the organization previously gave Ho1 the opportunity to develop in O2 Academy, and now the hour has come for the main roster.

Also supporter from South Korea Seungjun "Aiden" Lee joined the ranks of O2 Blast. Prior to that, Aiden played with Spectra as part of Team CC.
