"It’s not that they’re too aggressive. Let’s say you play Ranked and it’s dive vs. dive. Most Lucio players will go frontline, jump in and try to do some flashy plays, but they can still speed your team up and still play safe. For me, if I want to go aggressive, I need to make sure that the threats to my other flex support are non-existent."
"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."
At the time of this interview, (This interview was performed on THURSDAY FEBRUARY 22ND after Houston's win vs. London) That must have been a pretty satisfying win. Yes, it was. Losing in the Stage 1 p
The following was provided by Dallas Fuel for immediate publication (March 11, 2018) – The Dallas Fuel and tank player Félix "xQc" Lengyel announced they have mutually agreed to part ways
In Blizzard's well-meaning earnest to quell one unruly player, the League is setting a standard of conduct contingent upon a hypervigilance on their part that cannot possibly be maintained consistently and fairly.
If you visited the Overwatch League today, you were in for a surprise. Whether you knew about the promotion posted 6 days ago or not, every ticket holder who showed up this Thursday has received a commemorative Soldier: 76 figure that was originally included in the Collectors Edition version of Overwatch.
At the time of this interview, Dallas Fuel just lost 0-3 to San Francisco Shock and it didn't look close. I wanted to talk to Jonathan "HarryHook" Tejedor Rua in particular because Shock was making life a living hell for a support player. So what does a seasoned support player do when his team is getting rolled?
The suffering Overwatch player loathes quick match because “no one takes it seriously” while also despising competitive play because “no one takes it seriously.” There is a palpable me-against-the-world mentality that convinces them winning is less about mastery of Overwatch gameplay and more adhering to a list of rules that supposedly result in social cohesion.
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.
In a move that benefits LA Gladiators more than anyone, Fissure was apparently transferred due to his request for more playing time, something London Spitfire just couldn't give.
Naturally, his recent decision to join the league as DPS for Dallas Fuel made me want to follow up on this question. Is Dallas Fuel the "good team" he was waiting for?
Today, the Shanghai Dragons proved the rumors true and officially confirmed four new players to join their roster. In addition to the roster news, Dragons have also confirmed an updated "player selection policy" regarding future Chinese players during season 2,
Even during breaks, the sound of the arena is cacophonous. Between commentary and game sounds, cheers and straight up blood-curdling screams, the Overwatch League is not for the faint of heart. It is beautiful, even in its overstimulation – the stadium is bathed in various team colors throughout the day and the art of the upcoming map periodically consumes the stage.
I'm going to focus on what I know for certain. Here are the three Overwatch League truths I've learned from interviewing pro players, team captains, player managers and everyone in between during stage 1.
I mean, I was "good", but if I played that way now, I would be hard feeding. I would be really, really bad. It just shows how much everything has improved. If you look at other Tracers a year from now, you would think that everyone now is just so bad.
Dallas’ underperformance is the result of a myriad of factors, but there are three notable culprits...
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.
Jake favors Junkrat more than anyone because he is the best at it, and if Dynasty could not handle Spitfire’s Junkrat, then they are in for a rude awakening tonight.
"This is my first experience getting paid to do something and it's playing video games. Not a lot of people do that. I came from Canada and my whole world changed as soon as I came here"
Fusion will be a wild card of the League, capable of taking maps from the very best and giving maps to the very worst. Their individual skill is remarkable, but their teamplay must improve with each and every game if they intend to join the best in the playoffs.
