But from this match, we saw something new. We saw a deliberate decision from NYXL’s coaching staff to exhaust Boston’s only Widow player by swapping in three different Widow styles.
As the seasons of competitive Overwatch wear on and the Overwatch League's existence comes to dominate every conversation, it has become easy to accept as inevitable the fundamental design of Overwatch.
With Boston’s 3-1 victory over Shanghai, they’ve taken the #1 spot in the Overwatch League standings. And considering their upcoming schedule, it looks likely that they will tie with NYXL’s current 11-game win streak and possibly surpass it. (Especially considering that Dallas Fuel’s EFFECT will be on break.)
With Coach KyKy and Rascal’s release, many were looking forward to see Dallas Fuel’s new changes in action vs. San Francisco Shock. What they did not expect was a 0-4 defeat for Dallas. In what may have been the worst showing in Overwatch League on Temple of Anubis, Dallas failed to make the first tick on Point A. Much of blame seems to fall on aKm’s Genji.
At present, teams have limited time to experiment and become comfortable with updated patches during breaks, and their focus during a stage is obviously on their imminent matches. If the game pros are playing is going to change drastically between stages, then it only makes sense for their adjustment period to be extended.
However, Custa has admitted the team is in a honeymoon phase. Their wins have been against Shanghai Dragons, Seoul Dynasty’s B-Team, San Francisco Shock and now Dallas Fuel. Their hardest matches are yet to come.
Dallas Fuel has been known for having a main tank curse and regardless of what one thinks of OGE’s past, he has broken the curse and the team seems to have finally decided on their tank line-up.
Following the Inven Global report regarding accusations of sexual misconduct with a minor, both the Overwatch League and The Boston Uprising have announced the indefinite suspension of Jonathan "DreamKazper" Sanchez.
Today, it was revealed by "Lily" an OWL fan active on Twitter that, allegedly, she was approached by 21-year-old DreamKazper and, eventually, was engaged inappropriately and often times salaciously through Facetime video, Snapchat, and Twitter DM.
The desire to give fans such unprecedented levels of transparency extends from a rapidly antiquating idea that esports fans are entitled to know the inner-workings of organizations and the personal lives of pro players.
Examining the games, Seagull’s D.Va and Mickie’s Winston went toe-to-toe with New York’s dive composition on both Lijiang: Night Market and found their groove on Gibraltar. Being that Mickie is mainly a D.Va player, it makes sense that he already has an idea of how Seagull’s D.Va will move, even if it’s only Seagull’s 2nd time.
For pro players in the Overwatch League looking to optimize their performance, the stereotypical sedentary gamer lifestyle and fast food rich diet simply will not cut it. Increasingly, League organizations are encouraging, facilitating, and, in some cases, mandating that their players maintain a healthy diet and active lifestyle.
Just moments ago, The Overwatch League announced this official verdict on an apparent "account boosting" scheme that OGE was apart of/
If Dallas Fuel’s true issue is confidence, then it’s up to the fans to continue their love and support alongside KyKy’s new announcement. If the players feel they are allowed to make mistakes instead of receiving ire from their fans, their synergy will improve and Dallas Fuel may return to see their old glory days.
"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.
