The team tasked with both the 2020 MVP Legendary Skin and the San Francisco Shock skin was David Kang, senior concept artist at Overwatch, senior artist Hong-Chan Lin, and technical artist Marcy Lee.
Kang explained in a video on the Overwatch League's YouTube page that the reason they chose Roadhog as the hero for the San Francisco Shock victory was that he was a "very defining hero" during the 2020 playoffs, while Echo was chosen to display Fleta's versatility.
After Fleta won the MVP award, he met with character designer Arnold Tsang and David Kang back in October of 2020 during which the OWL 2020 MVP described his idea for the upcoming skin.
In a video showing this meeting, Fleta says "I think I'd like a half-devil, half-angel skin because I'm calm out of the game, but I can be aggressive while playing. I'm usually very calm and quiet so I want the skin to be half and half. The devil portrays my game style, and the angel portrays my personality."
Both of these legendary skins are available for purchase from March 23 up until April 8.
