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?

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.
