I expect my tanks to pressure their DPS or Widowmaker, but they don't and it can be frustrating. It can be so hard to do my job and compete when this happens.
"Lots of fans have been speculating on pretty much every aspect of the team even when they have no idea -- no clue -- what is really happening. I don't really like when people do that: they are calling themselves fans, but fans don't trash talk their team or sh*t all over their team."

Julien "daemoN" Ducros is one of the first-generation coaches in Western Overwatch, one of Los Angeles Valiant's two assistant coaches and, temporarily, the team's acting head coach. Before joining Va
I wanted to know what the showmanship was all about. Whether CWoosH was amping up the crowd to soak the moment in as long as possible, or whether this was a player who was tired of being an underdog and was seizing an opportunity to rise above.
Compared to his Overwatch World Cup and EnVyUs days, Taimou channels a humble nature that dispurses attention instead of reveling it. Stage 1 was a turbulent time for Dallas Fuel, and no one seemed to take it harder than Taimou.

Clockwork was a Team Fortress 2 god. Now, he plays for the Houston Outlaws as a DPS sub, his days of being an "I'm-better-than-everything-and-any-one type of player" behind him. Instead, Clockword exudes an uncommon level of empathy towards his teammates and their success.
But things never got better for the Dragons. Defeat, after defeat, the community narratives began to form and the Chinese team is unanimously viewed as the Leagues official underdogs. With a record of 0-8, I was most interested in speaking with Chao "UNDEAD" Fang.
